All Possible and Most Probable Activity Schedules in Organisations

In previous studies of adaptability in buildings (Fawcett, 1979a) it has been proposed that the number of possible activity schedules for a given population may in part be used to derive a measure of adaptability. This paper examines the concept of all possible schedules and shows how the most probable schedule for a given organisation may be determined both for small and for large populations. Fawcett (1979b) should be read in conjunction with this paper.
