Item type:Publication, Composing teams to optimize the benefits of international experience diversity(2012-08-05); ; This paper contributes to a better understanding of the effects of experiential diversity in teams. Specifically, the link between diversity in team members' international experience backgrounds and team performance is examined from an information processing perspective. This paper addresses the conditions under which teams optimize the benefits of a greater pool of knowledge and perspectives at their disposal. A set of four hypotheses is developed and tested on a longitudinal dataset drawn from professional soccer teams in the German Bundesliga over a seven-year period. Findings show that a diverse international experience base is positively associated with team performance. This relationship is positively moderated by indicators of experiential team composition and managerial tenure. Specifically, performance gains of increasing international experience diversity are larger the more a team consists of members experienced in high quality settings, a team consists of members with narrow individual experience backgrounds, and a team is led by a longer tenured coach. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed together with future research directions.Type:conference paper - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The impact of experience and experiential diversity on the performance of national football teams(2009-08-10); ; This paper investigates the extent to which the performance of national football teams can be predicted by the experiential configurations of team members. We draw upon a database that contains performance data from the 64 matches at the FIFA World Cup 2006 and detailed biographical and career profiles of the 736 players who participated in the tournament. Our findings reveal little support for the notion that shared team experience is associated with higher performance of national teams, in contrast to the findings of previous research pertaining to club teams. In addition, our findings highlight the need to carefully manage experiential diversity in short-run performance settings in order to benefit from access to diverse tacit resources while at the same time avoiding that the integrative capacities of teams become overstretched.Type:conference paper
