Exploration in Teams and the Encouragement Effect : Theory and Experimental Evidence
von Essen, Emma; Huysentruyt, Marieke; Miettinen, Topi - 2019
This paper analyzes a two-person, two-stage model of sequential exploration, where both information and payoff externalities exist, and tests the derived hypotheses in the laboratory. We theoretically show that even when agents are self-interested and perfectly rational, the information...

Interruptive Events and Team Knowledge Acquisition
Zellmer-Bruhn, Mary E. - In: Management Science 49 (2003) 4, pp. 514-528
Interruptions have commonly been viewed as negative and as something for managers to control or limit. In this paper, I explore the relationship between interruptions and acquisition of routines---a form of knowledge---by teams. Recent research suggests that interruptions may play an important...
