Abstract

This paper is based on the knowledge that human beings increasingly play an important role in modern, networked and temporary work structures. This on the one hand refers to the competencies and on the other hand to his socio-cultural background. Based on that, a considerable potential is assumed in the optimisation of relationships to the partners which often act in the networks. Thus, a procedure was developed which uses several different established theories, models and methodologies from the fields of mathematics, psychology and competence research. Thereby, it is the target to provide an instrument for the decision maker by the help of which a statement can be made concerning the quality of a potential network. This is carried out largely in automated way, based on the parameters that need to be calculated in order to make the increasing complexity and reciprocal dependence of the partners and decisions controllable.
