Assessing Group Performance from Collective Behavior

چکیده
The Human Dynamics research group at the MIT Media Laboratory has demonstrated that wearable technology can be used to characterize face-to-face interactions, measure individual and collective patterns of human behavior, and automatically map out a company's de facto organizational chart (Choudhury & Pentland, 2003; Pentland, 2006; Olguin-Olguin et al., 2009a, 2009b). This capability can be an extraordinary resource for studying group behavior, group performance and team formation processes.
