Contemporary corporations are global, associative e-business infrastructures involving employee, supplier, partner and customer networks. These dynamic, distributed organizations must have a flexible structure designed to move quickly in the face of global competitive pressures. Highly structured, vertically integrated, hierarchical organizations cannot respond to increasingly shorter periods of opportunity. Thus, we develop in this paper a method that allows considering the architecture of any kind of networked systems, which could be described by the formalized graphs and its adjacency matrix. This approach encompasses a categorization and utilization of the networked system topological properties. Namely, it involves an a-priory approximate determination of the basic network design performance features, e.g., information transfer capacity and the reliability assessment including configuration changes in running systems.
