Abstract The mathematical model for CoPS is proposed and quantitative study on such coordination is conducted with the agentbased simulation. Firstly the development of CoPS is modeled from two dimensions, complexity and the time pressure of development. Secondly the common organizational design elements of different type of organizational design are identified and modeled, the further quantitative study on the consistency or fit between the development of CoPS and organizational design is conducted based on the detailed simulation experiments and how the both are matched is given in details. The results indicate that the organization should configure the common organizational design elements according to the different product development identified by the combination of complexity and time pressure, which assures the organization high performance. Meanwhile how the development of CoPS is matched with design of PBO is given from the microlevel perspective.
