Systems

framework of conditional causality, the processes that will result in changes
to physical entities (perhaps beginning with new procedures to deal with the
problems identified with patient billing), the additions of metafunctions that
serve some of the needs of all parties within the system of systems, and the
desired behaviors of the stakeholders involved in all causal effects that deal
with or are a consequence of interaction with the system of systems, will be
defined and agreed to before beginning the planning for integration. For
planning purposes, the sharing of management functions is deemed to be
the best means to manage the functions of the system of systems. There are
many means and options to enact and manage the system of systems functionalities, including, by tacit agreement, through procedures, and with various types of physical entities (e.g., computers and software). The management
functions of ‘to plan,’ ‘to organize,’ ‘to direct,’ ‘to control,’ ‘to communicate,’
and ‘to provide teamness’ are laid out for Hospital, Ltd. and Doctors, Ltd.
Table 4.2 illustrates a few of the considerations for objects, events, and EMMI
that exemplify the partitioning of power.
Table 4.2 illustrates the comparison for objects, events, and EMMI for
Doctors, Ltd. (DL) in a systemic relationship with Hospital, Ltd., illustrating the reciprocal relations between objects based on a sharing of power.
The architecture that supports and enables the interactions is one comprised of people who perform the management functions at all three levels
