ABSTRACT
The Evolute approach applies ontology engineering to model organizational resources according to Proposition 1. The Evolute approach follows a modular process where individuals and stakeholders are involved and their perception and understanding of organizational resources are sought and collected. This kind of knowledge input addresses Proposition 2. The Evolute system is a computing platform and a technology that computes and visualizes the meaning of the knowledge input collected from stakeholders. The Evolute system addresses Proposition 3. The computing in the Evolute system is based on soft-computing methods and algorithms in order to cope with imprecision and uncertainty embedded in natural language and human knowledge inputs. In particular, fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic (Zadeh 1965, 1973) are applied. Finally, Proposition 4 is addressed in the Evolute approach so that the management uses the computed current and future meaning of organizational resources in their real situational management context in the organization. Stakeholders can be involved in this management step according to the modular process (Table 3.1).
