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 …

Very powerful simulation softwares are available today. They should allow rational choices from early design stages …

Judging from the vast number of articles in the field of queuing simulation, that assumes i.i.d. in one or more of the … processes for some simulation study a thorough preliminary analysis has to be undertaken in order to uncover the basic time … system performance measures as for instance average waiting time or average time in system are significantly influenced by …

introduction of the «3+2» reform on student time allocation and performance. We use data from an Economics Faculty and propensity … comparison, to investigate changes in student time allocation and performance in the first-year exams. Our analysis provides … lower bound estimates of the change in lecture attendance, self-study time and student performance after the reform, showing …

one clinical unit. We use the model to analyze how resource allocation affects both process performance and utilization of … resources. This approach emphasizes how allocation of resources to tasks affects process performance. We illustrate how the … model can be used to analyze how variations in resources affect process performance and for example how ICT affects process …

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. The differences in performance are explained by differences in …

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 …

may leverage their efforts in providing green services to achieve performance improvement through their existing … cost and environmental performance. The model considers the moderating role of the existing EMS that may affect the … performance results of green service practices. This differs from previous studies that focus on the direct performance impact of …
