this study attempts to find if better performance in power play leads a team to victory in a twenty20 match. based on the methodology devised to do so, the study tries to measure the performance of both the teams during power play overs in terms of batting and bowling. the developed measure is called ‘prod’ which is a product of the difference of batting and bowling performance of the teams dur...

AbstRAct This chapter discusses the problem of agent aiding of ad-hoc, decentralized human teams so as to improve team performance on time-stressed group tasks. To see how human teams rise to the challenge, we analyze the communication patterns of teams performing a collaborative search task that recreates some of the cognitive difficulties faced by teams during search and rescue operations. Ou...

Collaborative teams are becoming increasing important for industry, both within and across companies. There is a need for communication technology to support teams because many teams are non-collocated, or "virtual". We observed two automotive supply chain teams while they were experimenting with multimedia conferencing in order to determine what support non-collocated teams need and the potent...

Teams dominate the production of high-impact science and technology. Analyzing teamwork from more than 50 million papers, patents, and software products, 1954-2014, we demonstrate across this period that larger teams developed recent, popular ideas, while small teams disrupted the system by drawing on older and less prevalent ideas. Attention to work from large teams came immediately, while adv...

We tested the effects of team strategic orientation on teammember perceptions, work strategy and information search. In Experiment 1, 80 teams worked on a hidden profile decision-making task. A defensive team strategic orientation increased members’ perceptions of the problem’s scope, leading to a more process-focused work strategy and broader information search compared to an offensive team st...

Student project teams are an important and integral part of many engineering classrooms. This paper examines the socialand task-related dimensions of such co-located and distributed teams.Studies of distributed teams in the workplace observe that members often face social issues of building trust and cohesion that co-located teams do not. It is posited that distributed teams in the classroom mu...

The high performance organisation is a community of hundreds of disparate groups of people working in teams, throughout its structures and across its geography. For an interesting biological imagery, imagine looking through a microscope at an organisms cell structure and observing the countless amoebic movements, energy and growth formations which then split away and dissolve within the mass, j...
