How should organizations of intelligent agents be designed so that they exhibit high performance despite information … distortion? We present a formal information-based network model of organizational performance given a distributed decision making … environment in which agents encounter a radar detection task. Using this model, we examine the performance of organizations with …

. We quantify the efficiency of such selection by the likelihood of selecting the best player, here termed the "predictive … simulations for two alternative criteria of selection efficiency: the expected ability of the winner and the expected rank of the …

We investigate whether the gender composition of teams affects their economic performance. We study a large business … across the performance distribution, we find that for undergraduates, three-women teams are outperformed throughout, but by … top, the best performing group is two men and one woman.

We analyze how entrepreneurial opportunity cost conditions performance. Departing from the common practice of using … survival as a measure of entrepreneurial performance, we model both failure and cash-out (liquidity event) as conditioned by … also more likely to fail faster. Not only is survival a poor indicator of performance, but its use as one obscures the …

Using financial measures of performance we investigate the sources of value creation in the U.S. brewing industry … and that the performance of individual leading firms is highly correlated. Our interpretation is that the success of …
