摘要：

Today, organisations collaborate to use more resources and reduce the risk of technological activities. The result of these collaborations is complex systems with socio-technical characteristics that, despite the many benefits, bring new and different problems and challenges for them. The current research intends to study these collaborations not as a static phenomenon but as a dynamic and heterogeneous system with various socio-technical characteristics, contrary to the prevailing practice in research in this field. Therefore, system dynamics and agent-based modelling are used to model an R&D collaboration system. Validation tests and comparison of simulation results with the actual behaviour of the system show success in recognising and representing the system under study. Findings show that using a socio-technical perspective and its methods helps to capture and structure the complexity and problems of systems and the interrelationships of these problems in a holistic view.
