Four Border Structures in GCM (Small Addition to the 'Garbage Can Model: Reconstruction and Logical Analysis')

For efficient operation of the collective decision making system, described by garbage can model (Cohen M., March J., Olsen J., 1972. A Garbage Can Model of Organizational Choice), the structure of the access problems and managers to the choices is crucial. The logic of the system is studied and developed a scheme that allows for arbitrary even N to get the probability distribution of the number of resolved problems and the types of decisions. For the case of arbitrary dimension of decision-making system and the three types of structures: 1) specialized access structure with specialized decision structure 2) unsegmented access structure with specialized decision structure 3) specialized access structure with unsegmented decision structure, in different types of energy load, an analytical solution: set the maximum number of problems that can be solved and obtained the probability distribution of outcomes.A comparison of the effectiveness of the system for four border options for the organizational structure: the one previously studied, and the three discussed in the article. The examples of the probability distribution of outcomes in the system dimension is ten, which is the subject of a number of studies that reconstruct the original model code and verified the results. The correspondence complexity of problems types of organizational structure, in which the decision-making system works most effectively.The work is a continuation of the previously published working paper “Garbage Can Model: Reconstruction and Logical Analysis” (http://ssrn.com/abstract=2490388).
