Team Structure and Task Performance

Team Structure and Task Performance (1.0.5)

This model was designed to study resilience in organizations. Inspired by ethnographic work, it follows the simple goal to understand whether team structure affects the way in which tasks are performed. In so doing, it compares the ‘hybrid’ data-inspired structure with three more traditional structures (i.e. hierarchy, flexible/relaxed hierarchy, and anarchy/disorganization).

Release Notes

This is the basic version of the model that is dedicated to explore how(if) team structure affects task performance. Since this is the first version we present on this platform, there is nothing that changes.
