What are IAD “rules” all about? For each action situation, embedded within its contextual environment, decision must be made. There are a set of Seven Rules that must be dealt with effectively. They include:
* Boundary Rules (Who is in and who is outside? Specify how participants enter or leave these positions.);
* Position Rules (What roles must be played and by whom with what resources, opportunities, preferences and responsibilities?);
* Authority/Choice Rules (What set of actions is Prohibited, Permitted, and Required of a position?);
* Information Rules (What is known and what must be known and what cannot be known?);
* Aggregation Rules (How are we to organize ourselves to achieve the desired outputs and results? Specify the transformation function from actions to intermediate or final outcomes.);
* Scope Rules (What is to be accomplished, where, by when, for whom?); and
* Payoff Rules (How benefits and costs are required, permitted, or forbidden to players? What results will make it worth the effort and risk as well as making the enterprise sustainable?)
