Authors : Sonia Kherbachi .

Abstract

The complexity of distributed development projects is making the communication process confused between the interactive networks of stakeholders risks. To solve this problem, the paper builds a Design Structure Matrix to model the communication frequency based on trust among stakeholders. Further, it ranks the most influencing stakeholder. An industrial example is provided to illustrate the proposed model. Results indicated that trust moderates the communication frequency among distributed stakeholders.
