Abstract

The objective of section 3 is to specify potential causal relations between the organizational design of interfaces and the occurrence of disruptions. According to Chmielewicz (1979), the science-theoretic objective is to develop cause and effects statements up to theories, which are true as well as informative. To this purpose, the terms used for constructing statements have to be defined in such a way that they can by tested empirically. Since the terms developed in section 2 are limited to the investigation of disruptions, the existing system of terms has to be completed by a system of terms for the potential causes to be analyzed, before statements can be derived. Furthermore, the organizational design as object of investigation should be allocated in existing knowledge, as for instance theories and methods, which allow for a specification and support the deduction of hypotheses (Kromrey 2009). Therewith, section 3 includes the conceptualization of organizational design, the identification of a theoretic framework for the connection of both constructs, as well as the deduction of a system of hypotheses in preparation of the empirical analysis.
