Abstract:This paper is the second part of a three-paper series on organizational work. It introduces a new measure of organizational work called the M-curve distribution. An M-curve shows the fraction of task processes by each type of process law. Tasks are classified by whether they are 1) planning, 2) directing, controlling and coordinating, or 3) execution tasks. They are also classified by their level of aggregation. M-curves exhibit regularities with different shapes for different types of process laws.
