Overview: In product development life cycle, specifically the facility development life cycle, utilization of tacit knowledge is critical during the earlier Feasibility and Entitlements phases. Tacit knowledge is the 'know how' that is not explicitly available to an enterprise. In order to inform organizational design, a computational organization theory tool is employed that can simulate the environmental contingencies inherent in the facility development life cycle process. Building upon ethnography to understand the facility development life cycle processes, case study research is combined with computational methods to extend knowledge-flow theory. This paper presents how case study model is developed using an agent-based computational organization theory tool, SimVision, to represent the environment contingencies of a facility development project and inform the design of organizational knowledge flows.
