Abstract EN
This paper analyses how different coordination modes and different multiobjective decision making approaches interfere with each other in hierarchical organizations.
The investigation is based on an agent-based simulation.
We apply a modified NK-model in which we map multiobjective decision making as adaptive walk on multiple performance landscapes, whereby each landscape represents one objective.
We find that the impact of the coordination mode on the performance and the speed of performance improvement is critically affected by the selected multiobjective decision making approach.
In certain setups, the performances achieved with the more complex multiobjective decision making approaches turn out to be less sensitive to the coordination mode than the performances achieved with the less complex multiobjective decision making approaches.
Furthermore, we present results on the impact of the nature of interactions among decisions on the achieved performance in multiobjective setups.
Our results give guidance on how to control the performance contribution of objectives to overall performance and answer the question how effective certain multiobjective decision making approaches perform under certain circumstances (coordination mode and interdependencies among decisions).
