OrgCon® is a diagnosis and design system for organizational design, which incorporates knowledge from a large body of literature on organizational theory and the knowledge derived from experts on organizational design.
A central view is the assumption of the organization as an information and knowledge processing entity and that organizational design has to match the demands for information processing with the information-processing capacity of the organization. The basic view is that the more uncertain the task, the more information processing is needed.
The knowledge base of OrgCon® has been developed on grounds of contingency theory. A system of decision rules, or rules that generally apply under specific sets of circumstances was developed. Each of these if-then rules has to be consistent with the contingency theory and with the information-processing argument.
