team performance. Our results offer an approach for capturing the experience held by fluid teams and highlight the need to … production volume of, or the number of projects completed by, a team. Implicit in this approach is the assumption that teams are … and structure of teams often change over time (e.g., between projects). In this paper, we use detailed data from an Indian …

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 … competitions, one involving undergraduates and the other involving MBA students. Our analysis shows that teams formed by three …

A model proposes not … only direct effects of functional role, status, and communication role on individual performance, but also indirect effects … communication role on individual performance. Interestingly, centrality was a stronger direct predictor of performance than the …

Under the assumption that the division managers share a common goal to optimize the overall performance of the supply … firm can manage the divisions as cost centers without compromising the systemwide performance. This is achieved by using an … behavior on supply chain performance and demonstrate that it is important for the upstream members of the supply chain to have …

Are lone inventors more or less likely to invent breakthroughs? Recent research has attempted to resolve this question by considering the variance of creative outcome distributions. It has implicitly assumed a symmetric thickening or thinning of both tails, i.e., that a greater probability of...

Cooperation and coordination among employees can yield significant productivity gains. In this study, we explore the design of optimal incentive systems that induce task-related effort, helping, and knowledge sharing within workgroups. We identify three distinct types of employee linkages that...

Previous studies have provided evidence of the positive impact of transactive memory (TM) on group performance, such as … computational model--ORGMEM--and apply it to explore the contingent effects of TM on group performance. The comparison between … environment, as well as the dimension along which group performance is assessed. Overall, TM seems to be more beneficial to small …
