Artificially intelligent (AI) applications make data-driven predictions that enable personalization on a large scale. As such, recent advances in AI's predictive power might have the potential to create more productive work environments. Using a principal-agent model and understanding AI as...

We investigate how improvements in organizations’ internal communication technology affect their voluntary disclosure, a form of external communication. By developing a model with a headquarters manager and several divisional managers, we formalize two competing economic forces—information...

I examine a cheap talk game with two decisions, two payoff-relevant states, and two senders. The model features interdependence because information about each state affects both decisions. Senders are imperfectly informed and communication depends on the nature of their information. I first...

We study communication in a static Cournot duopoly model under the assumption that the firms have unverifiable private information about their costs. We show that cheap talk between the firms cannot transmit any information. However, if the firms can communicate through a third party,...

This paper examines the phenomenon of management-initiated, court-supervised reorganization of companies in U.S. bankruptcy court. The proposed in-court persuasion mechanism reconciles excessive reorganizations of non-viable companies (and subsequent repeat failures) with management-initiated...

This paper studies communication in a static Cournot duopoly model under the assumption that the firms have unverifiable private information about their costs. We investigate the conditions under which the firms cannot transmit any information through cheap talk, and show that when these...

We model organizational decision making as costless pre-play communication. Decision making is called authoritarian if only one player is allowed to speak and consensual if all players are allowed to speak. Players are assumed to have limited cognitive capacity and we characterize their behavior...

Using a matched employer-employee data-set, we analyze how workforce diversity in terms of cultural background, education and demographic characteristics affects the productivity of firms in Denmark. Implementing a structural estimation of the firms' production function (Ackerberg et al. 2006),...

This paper presents an action research conducted in function of proving the connection between effective communication and organizational culture. Bearing in mind that we communicate daily wherever we are, including our work places, we can conclude that communication is a part of our daily...
