  1. InformationalGovernanceand micro-macro links Gert Jan Hofstede, INF group

  2. The message 1.Informational governance is data management in context • That means people management • It inheritsfromgroupbehaviour... • ...which is strongly culture-driven 2. Informationalgovernanceinvolvesself-organization • Thatcanbe ‘grown’ using agent-basedmodelling (ABM) • cf. the WU IP/OP themeComplex Adaptive Systems (CAS)

  3. Part 1. Information governance and transparency:bringing micro-macro links to life • “Information governance, or IG, is the set of multi-disciplinary structures, policies, procedures, processes and controls implemented to manage information at an enterprise level, supporting an organization's immediate and future regulatory, legal, risk, environmental and operational requirements” (Wikipedia, 2014) • “Transparencyof a netchain is the extent to which all the netchain’sstakeholders have a shared understanding of, and access to, the product-related information that they request, without loss, noise, delay and distortion” (Hofstede, 2003) G.J. Hofstede (2003) Transparency in Netchains. In: Information Technology for a better Agri-Food Sector, Environment and Rural Living. Debrecen University, Debrecen, Hungary

  4. Old problem... G.J. Hofstede et al (2004) Hide or confide, the dilemma of transparency. Reed Business Information. • anne.hari@reedbusiness.com

  6. Transparency and micro-macro links Hide! Good for me ... Confide! Good for all ...

  7. Food chain: Micro-macro links • A chain of products is really a network of people • Transparency: • History • Operations • Strategy

  9. Take home 1: solidground • Informationalgovernance: = Information management+ = ‘How toorganizeinforming’ n.b.differssystematicallyacross cultures: Who: mightvs right, How: rulesvsreality

  10. Part 2, from micro to macro: CAS, self-organisation, emergence Oursocialreality: “We do notintend the consequences of our actions” CristianoCastelfranchi, 2013 Individualintention Systemconsequence

  11. Understanding Emergence is among INF aims Social Simulation • Non-linearity, emergence (= self-organization) • Operationalizing social scientific theory • Can be used on informational governance

  12. ModellingsocialrealityNIAS-Lorentz Theme Group • Sep 2013 – Jan 2014 (www.nias.nl) • Lorentz workshop January 2014 (www.lorentzcenter.nl) • Case: glassceilingfor girls • Method: agent-basedmodels of playground • Conclusion: emergence > nurture > nature

  13. Methodologicalaside Select method Begin study Com-plex? yes Adap-tive? yes ABM (agents perceive others / environment CAS Method-ology Run model, sensitivity analysis Development psychology studies Validate system behaviour Validate agents Draw conclusions , publish End study

  14. Example: Playground model 2014 (resultingfrom NIAS fellowship) • RQ: Whatcauses gender status differences? • ‘Nature’: Girls’ vs boys’ • Beauty • Kindness • fighting power • ‘Nurture’: • (Dyad: Roughandtumble) • Category: Sex-difference-on-conferral • All: Culture (‘masculinity’: groupcondonesfighting) • Emergence?

  15. Interface

  16. Effect of nature (kindness, power); & culture Process: • 20.000 runs • Behavspace • .cvs • Excel transpose • (or table output) • SPSS Gender status gap

  17. Emergenteffects: groupand culture

  18. Take home 2: potentialfor CAS methods • Generic social science can be used in ABM • Tosimulaterealisticmotives • Experimental findings can be used for specifics • Gender difference studies • Informationalgovernance • We are justgettingstarted...
