Q-complex Frameworks
PH'5Q2CsH-Organising Management
Background
This organising management framework emerged from the very earliest studies of levels of work in organisations based on the discoveries of Elliot Jaques.
The thumbnail at right can be used as a constant reminder of the framework.
The requirement groupings are:
The oscillating duality here has been identified as:
Odd-numbered groupings primarily involve management initiation.
Even-numbered groupings primarily involve management accommodation.
As each grouping is considered in turn below, the goal is to focus down on a possible sharp alteration in the focus, not to collect all evidence or summarize all findings. In each case, links are provided to the relevant topics to enable a check on the conclusion reached.
Check Each Grouping
The Duality
From this review-based investigation, it appears that requirements in are either personally vested or relationally enabled.
The A BB AA BB pattern as discovered in and confirmed in structural hierarchies found with fundamental and control complexes, also appears in this Q-complex.
The phrases that suited , private and public, while not wholly inappropriate, do not adequately capture the phenomena.
PH'5Q4CsH-Shaping Institutional Evolution
Background
is a recently developed framework developed together with . As it seemed likely to pose more difficulties, it has been selected for investigation. Superficial examination of confirms the pattern.
The thumbnail at right can be used as a constant reminder of the framework.
The requirement groupings are:
The oscillating duality has been suggested as:
Odd-numbered groupings: affect but do not depend on the public
Even-numbered groupings: seek or require involvement of the public
As each grouping is considered in turn below, the goal is to focus down on a possible sharp alteration in the focus, not to collect all evidence or summarize all findings. In each case, links are provided to the relevant topics to enable a check on the conclusion reached.
Check Each Grouping
The Duality
From this review-based investigation, it appears that requirements in are either directed to each person or disseminated within society.
The A BB AA BB pattern discovered in and confirmed in both fundamental and control classes, also applies in this second .
The phrases that suited , private and public, while not wholly inappropriate, do not adequately capture the phenomena.
PH'6Q4CsH-Looking Out for Yourself
Background
This framework is the most recent Q-complex structural hierarchy to be developed.
The thumbnail at right can be used as a constant reminder of the framework.
The requirement groupings are:
The oscillating duality is rather complex and shows up in:
mode and time of application, and orientation to appraisal and effort.
As each grouping is considered in turn below, the goal is to focus down on a possible sharp alteration in the focus, not to collect all evidence or summarize all findings. In each case, links are provided to the relevant topics to enable a check on the conclusion reached.
Check Each Grouping
The Duality
From this review-based investigation, it appears that requirements in are either personally determined or context-sensitive.
The A BB AA BB pattern discovered in and confirmed in both fundamental and control classes, also applies in a second Q-complex.
The phrases that suited , private and public, while not wholly inappropriate, do not adequately capture the phenomena.
The newly discovered A BB AA BB pattern has now been shown to apply to all classes of structural hierarchy, and more than one case in each.
