Motivated by the availability of continuous event sequences that trace the social behavior in a population e.g. email, we believe that mutually exciting Hawkes processes provide a realistic and informative model for these sequences. For complex mutually exciting processes, the numerical...

This paper addresses the issue of agent style—proactive and reactive—from a theoretical perspective. The results show that agent style, though often considered key in decision making, only affects the organization's performance when the organization is under moderate time pressure. Further,...

The globalization of the economy, increasing number of transnational organizations, and rapid changes in robotics, information, and telecommunication technologies are just a few of the factors significantly altering organizational time scales, forms, complexity, and environments. Time scales...

Certain types of data, for example, texts and free-form interviews, tend to lend themselves to being analyzed in a qualitative fashion because they are hard to interpret and hence code. The ability to analyze and code such data often requires one to have an in-depth knowledge of the...

Opinions and beliefs are essential ingredients in the diffusion of innovation. We present a framework to model and simulate diffusion processes of opinions and beliefs in interpersonal communication networks. We introduce an algorithm to create stylized networks with attributes of real-world...

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...

Previous studies have provided evidence of the positive impact of transactive memory (TM) on group performance, such as the efficient storage and recall of knowledge and better product quality. This paper aims to unify the experimental research on TM and to extend it to more dynamic and diverse...
