Abstract
This paper presents a multiobjective structural optimization
process of designing an organization to execute a specific
mission. We provide mathematical formulations for optimization
problems arising in Phases II and III of our organizational design
process (Phase I was presented in Part I of this paper [56]) and
polynomial algorithms to solve the corresponding problems. Our
organizational design methodology applies specific optimization
techniques at different phases of the design, efficiently matching
the structure of a mission (in particular, the one defined by the
courses of action obtained from mission planning) to that of an
organization. It allows an analyst to obtain an acceptable tradeoff
among multiple mission and design objectives, as well as between
computational complexity and solution efficiency (desired degree
of suboptimality).
