When members of an organization share communication codes, coordination across subunits is easier. But if groups interact separately, they will each develop a specialized code. This paper asks: Can organizations shape how people interact in order to create shared communication codes? What kinds...

We study a modified version of the coordination game presented in [J. van Huyck, J. Cook, R. Battalio, Selection dynamics, asymptotic stability, and adaptive behavior, J. Polit. Econ. 102 (1994) 975–1005], where a representative selection dynamics was proposed to explain experimental data....
