How To Create Onion Diagram

This onion diagram example was designed on the base of figure in the article "Public Sector Agencies" on the website "New Zealand Government Procurement"
[business.govt.nz/ procurement/ for-agencies/ key-guidance-for-agencies/ public-sector-agencies]
"Public sector organisations in New Zealand include the State sector plus the organisations of local government.
Within the State sector lies the State services, and within this, lies the core Public service." [Public sector organisations in New Zealand. Wikipedia]

This onion diagram example was designed on the base of figure "Research onion" in the article "The research methodology for the development of a kaizen costing framework suitable for indigenous construction firms in Lagos, Nigeria." by T. Omotayo and U. Kulatunga from the Association of Researchers in Construction Management (ARCOM) website.
"The need for a cost management paradigm shift in the construction industry is imperative because of the prevailing challenges of managing construction cost during construction. Small and medium scale construction firms in Nigeria are faced with the challenges of competition from foreign firm, cost overrun, project delays and unsatisfied clients. This challenge may be handled with kaizen principles and kaizen costing. This paper utilized literatures related to research methodology in the built environment to create a research framework for the study. This focused on the research philosophical stands, approaches and strategy related to the built environment. The research onion model was adopted for the framework development and the sample size of two hundred and fifty (250) respondents was selected based on theoretical sampling for quantitative data collection using questionnaires."

This onion diagram example was designed on the base of figure "Stakeholders for a System" in the slide presentation "A103: Introduction to ITS Standards Requirements Development" from the U.S. Department of Transportation (US DOT) website.
"“Stakeholders for a System.” A graphic of four concentric circles arranged like an archery target. The innermost circle is a reddish tan. The three bands of colors that are further from the center are in lighter shades of tan. This is called an “onion diagram” as onions are made up of multiple layers. The inner circle is labeled “Physical System.” The next layer outward is labeled “Operational System.” The next layer outward is labeled “Containing System.” The outermost layer is labeled “Wider Environment.” There are smaller black graphics of person positioned in the different layers of the diagram. Each person has a project role next to it as follows: 1) Inner Circle has no people – It represents the system; 2) Next Layer Outward has three people labeled TMC Operator, Field Maintenance, and Operational Support respectively; 3) Next Layer Outward has two people labeled Interfacing System Owner and Purchaser respectively; and 4) Outermost Layer has four people labeled Sponsor of the Project, Regulatory Agency, Public, and Politician respectively. The picture demonstrates while they are all stakeholders, different stakeholders have different levels of influence on the physical system to be defined. The most influence coming from those closest to the center."

"A target market is a group of customers that the business has decided to aim its marketing efforts and ultimately its merchandise towards. A well-defined target market is the first element to a marketing strategy. The marketing mix variables of product, place (distribution), promotion and price are the four elements of a marketing mix strategy that determine the success of a product in the marketplace."

"An onion diagram is a kind of chart that shows the dependencies among parts of an organization or process. The chart displays items in concentric circles, where the items in each ring depend on the items in the smaller rings. ...
The Onion Diagram is able to show layers of a complete system in a few circles. Each of the circles is able to represent a component that is dependent upon the component on the inside of it shown by the circle inside of it. The main concept of the diagram is shown by the center circle of the diagram. This chart is used due to the fact that it has a clear visual representation that is easy to read, and it has a strong visual impact." [Onion diagram. Wikipedia]

This onion diagram example was designed on the base of figure "Academic advising stakeholder framework" in the article "Defining Advising Stakeholder Groups" by Julianne Messia from the website of NACADA Executive Office,
Kansas State University.
"A complete stakeholder analysis, therefore, not only names the stakeholders but accurately characterizes each stakeholder’s power and influence.
Harney (2008) identified advising stakeholders as being either internal or external constituents. Stakeholders belong in one of three distinct classifications: (1) internal core stakeholders, (2) internal but indirect stakeholders, and (3) external and indirect stakeholders. The chart below (Figure 1) depicts these groups in a diagram representing their various levels of input, influence, and involvement; the closer a group is to the “core” the more investment and weight that group has in advising. The groups utilized in this specific example assume a shared model of advising (both faculty and advising professionals have advising responsibilities). As each institution has its own unique culture and advising model, the chart should be adapted for any program or institution. For instance, an institution with a centralized advising model may list faculty as Internal but Indirect Stakeholders as they do not provide or administer advising directly."
