Similar logic can lead to abandoning the heirarchy in favor of a more general graph
structure to allow you to have multiple parents. Here I would be more cautious. Ask
yourself whether you really have different kinds of parents that should be distinguished.
In many cases you’ll find that multiple hierarchies or Accountability (17) will
serve you better. Once you lose the single parent, you lose the ability to easily aggregate
up the hierarchy, in particualar you won’t be able to use Aggregating Attribute
(14).
Sample Implementation
The key thing about implementing this pattern is to get the right kind of interface on
the classes. This means providing the right mix of operations to navigate the structure
how you need it to be navigated.
For this sample implementation I’m using the static variable as a Registry (2) for
organizations.
Often you may find that an organization shares attributes from its parents to its children.
Thus the head company, the sales division, and the Boston sales group all use
US dollars as their accounting currency. This is not a coincidence, in fact the intent is
that a child uses the accounting currency of the parent unless there is a specific override.
Making it work
Showing this on a model can be awkward. From the specification perspective we
would say that every organization has an accounting currency, ie the multiplicity is 1.
But the implementation picture says the currency is optional. You need a field, but a
null would indicate you should look at the parent.
I model this with a stereotype to show an aggregating association as in Figure
0.8 .Again there’s no standard UML way to show this, so a little light extending
makes sense. This notion of an aggregating association or attribute can crop up whenever
you have some form of composite, so it’s a handy extension.
PCCW Directories can be considered as a company that is in the entrepreneurial stage. In the entrepreneurial stage, executive dominance is established through personal, informal management patterns and structure, flexible communication and coordination procedures both within the organization and with its environment. Personal attention and rewards are given for the mobilization of resources and attainment of legitimacy for the organizational domain from the external environments. The creation of the organization's ideology, and the paternalistic reward system does not rely only on the level of executive professionalism, but rather on his or her entrepreneurial skills. PCCW Directories was formed from the growth of its parent company – PCCW Limited. As a newly formed business, PCCW Directories can be considered as an entrepreneurial organization where all major decisions are made in the top management.
