A process in which two or more people adopt a single course of action. Typically, each individual involved in a political process maintains an agenda that is different from the group's collectiveagenda, or from any other individual's personal agenda. It is through the political process that an individual's agenda becomes publicized (if a free press is at work), negotiated and voted on (if a democracy), or implemented without further discussion (if the individual is king). In every case, the individual engaged in a political process wants the group to adopt his or her agenda. [D05869]
The extent to which a Portfolio, or one of its components, involves a large number of parts, and/or a large number of people, to be coordinated and/or interfaced. In Portfolio Management, portfoliocomplexity is typically a reflection of the number of programs and projects involved and the number of different people required to carry them all out. Editor's Note: The degree of complexity may well have a bearing on the most appropriate style of management to be applied in the conduct of the portfolio. [D06689]
