PhD Thesis – A Networked Perspective on the Engineering Design Process: At the Intersection of Process and Organisation Architectures

This thesis reports on research undertaken to develop, apply and test a framework that characterises the actual design process architecture of engineering systems as a networked process. Research described in this thesis involved literature reviews in Engineering Design, Engineering Systems, Complexity and applied Network Science, and two case studies at engineering design companies with the objective of iteratively developing the framework and providing a proof-of- concept of its use in a large engineering design project.
