conclusions meeting the prerequisites to incorporating tbl in the curriculum of medical universities plays a pivotal role in its success. accordingly, in the assessment of the curriculum of medical universities, these requirements should be fully identified and fulfilled so as to be able to devise appropriate plans for the success of teaching methods. context this review study, performed in 201...

In the team literature there is much discussion about free-riding as a main obstacle for teams to achieve quality performance. Given its importance to team success, however, empirical study of the free-rider problem has lagged behind the conceptual work. So far, little research has been conducted in field settings to measure the scale of free-riding and investigate how the problem may deteriora...

In this chapter we study a team dynamic problem in which a group of agents collaborate over time to complete a project. The project progresses at a rate that depends on the agents’ e↵orts, and it generates a payo↵ upon completion. First, we show that agents work harder the closer the project is to completion, and members of a larger team work harder than members of a smaller team both individua...

We model a competition between two teams as an all-pay auction with incomplete information. The teams may differ in size and individuals exert effort to increase the performance of one’s own team via an additively separable aggregation function. The team with a higher performance wins, and its members enjoy the prize as a public good. The value of the prize is identical to members of the same t...

While prior research has found that familiarity is beneficial to team performance, it is not clear whether different kinds of familiarity are more or less beneficial when the work has different types of complexity. In this paper, we theorize how task and team familiarity interact with task and team coordination complexity to influence team performance. We posit that task familiarity is more ben...

We present an approach for coordinating a team of soccer playing robots, used by Clockwork Orange in the RoboCup middle-size league. It is based on the idea of dynamically distributing roles among the team members and adds the notion of a global team strategy (attack, defend and intercept). Utility functions are used for estimating how well suited a robot is for a certain role. They are not onl...
