Burton and Obel's dynamic multiple contingency theory of organizations provides the analytical framework and tools for the OrgCon© a knowledge-base expert system which has been thoroughly vetted with business executives.
The accompanying software, the OrgCon© with training guide and cases (CD bound into the book), provides a managerial tool kit to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of organizations.
