“…SoS's concepts of multiple systems designed to jointly produce offerings by creating compatibility between processes ( [23,[67][68][69]) parallels that of integration's definitions as the linking of processes ( [48,53]). At the same time, SoS's concepts of incorporating the human/social and political policy dimensions of coordination into its domain ( [15,23,70,71]) also parallel collaboration's focus on creating trust and commitment based [33] environments of mutually respectful joint-decision making environments [34].…”

The importance and complexity of the problems associated with coordinating multiple organizations to configure value propositions for customers has drawn the attention of multiple disciplines. In an effort to clarify and consolidate terms, this conceptual research examines both supply chain management (SCM) and system of systems (SoS) literature to postulate, from a value-chain perspective, what roles integration and collaboration play in helping supply chains satisfy customer requirements. A literature review analysis was used to identify the commonalities and differences between supply chain management and system of systems approaches to examining interfirm coordination of value creation efforts. Although a framework of integration and collaboration roles in value creation is proposed, further empirical testing of the concept is required to substantiate initial conclusions. The concepts proposed may help clarify where strategic and operational managers need to focus their efforts in coordinating supply chain member firms. The incorporation of SoS engineering into the supply chain field will draw the linkage between the constituent principles, and concepts of Systems Theory as appropriate for the supply chain management field. This is the first effort to reconcile two separate but parallel scholarship streams examining the coordination of multiple organizations in value creation. This research shows that there are some methodologies, principles, and methods from the SoS field that can supplement supply chain management research. Mainly due to a unit of analysis issue, systems based approaches have not been in the mainstream of supply chain management field development.

“…Richmond (1993) proposed a set of critical thinking skills to apply systems dynamics and thinking to address global problems. Rebovich (2008), Wojcik and Hoffman (2006) and Mansouri and Mostashari (2010) have espoused using a systemic approach to organizational governance within the context of systems of systems engineering. Within organizations systems thinking principles have been applied to solving complex problems (Lamb and Rhodes, 2008;Middleton, 2010), improving the ethical climate (Roth, 2002) and reviving a failing safety program (Pierce, 2002).…”

AbstractPurpose -This paper aims to provide a deeper understanding of behaviors effective technical managers and executives use to lead complex projects, programs and organizations. Design/methodology/approach -Described is a qualitative study to identify and document behaviors and attributes of effective technical executives at NASA. Methods included observation, shadowing and interviews with 14 NASA executives, who possessed a technical background and a systems orientation, and whom agency leadership identified as highly effective in their roles. Included also is a review of related theoretical and empirical scholarship on leadership and managerial effectiveness, focusing on research describing leaders' behaviors and competencies and approaches to deal with project and organizational complexity. Findings -The study surfaced 225 observable behaviors clustered into 54 elements, within six broad themes: leadership, attitudes and attributes (including executive presence), communication, problem solving and systems thinking, political savvy and strategic thinking. Research limitations/implications -Limitations include the small number of executives interviewed for 60-90 minutes and observed for a brief period. Future studies might include more executives, from a variety of organizations, and/or employ a quantitative approach based on or incorporating these findings. Practical implications -The study's rich data will serve as a framework to help develop technical executives where complexity and technology drive the need for systems-oriented leaders with technical backgrounds. Originality/value -The study and literature review provide a context for a deeper understanding of technical leaders' behaviors and use of systems thinking within complex situations.

This paper presents a system of systems approach to threat detection through integration of heterogeneous independently operable systems. The approach is presented on a realistic situation where a human-controlled base robot, swarm robot(s), and sensors work together to obtain a decision about a possible threat in the environment. The base robot is remotely operated by a human using a haptic control system. The swarm robot(s) are autonomous and can accept directives from the base robot. Finally, sensors directly communicate with (report to) the base robot. In this scenario, heterogeneous systems and human interact in a system of systems architecture. With the inclusion of human expert and sensor verification of swarm robots, the system can successfully perform the threat detection and reduce the false alarms. Finally, a system of systems simulation framework including a base robot, a swarm robot, and two sensors is presented in addition to an experimental evaluation of the proposed SoS architecture.
