Much of the NCW related work done by the military has been in technological and operational
domains. The literature review in this report focuses on the human and organisational factors that
need to be considered to make the most of the future NCW context and enable future warfighters
to deal with war, peace, terrorism and overall uncertainty. Particular focus is placed on the
transformation of warfighting and the issues that individuals and groups face in the NC
environment. Such issues include: organisational culture, cognitive demands, the nature of
information, C2 processes, knowledge mobilisation and learning, and transformational pathways
organisations may follow while changing from a traditional hierarchical way of operating to more
flexible and decentralised structures. The report concludes with suggestions for future research in
the human dimension of effective NCW
