  • Idea Production and Team Structure Jeremy Pearce∗
    Idea Production and Team Structure Jeremy Pearce∗ University of Chicago Job Market Paper December 30, 2019 Please find the most recent version here Abstract In the modern world, technological and scientific innovation rely heavily on teamwork. The “lone genius” is mostly a story of the past, as innovating teams have become larger, more diverse, and more geographically dispersed. This paper builds a framework that links idea production and matching in teams to aggregate innovation. With this framework, the paper quantifies the forces behind rising team size and shifts in team composition and produces a method for evaluating the relative importance of specific expertise for aggregate innovation. To do so, I build a matching-in-teams model which I combine with novel empirical measures of inventor expertise from the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). In the model, in- ventors with heterogeneous expertise decide to form teams by weighing the output produced, governed by an idea production function, against the costs of communicating within the team. I use measures of inventor and team depth (expertise within the focal patent technology) and breadth (expertise outside the focal patent technology) to estimate the idea production func- tion. I use geographical dispersion to quantify the costs of communicating within teams. I find that both changes in the returns to depth and breadth in addition to falling communi- cation costs explain a large share of the increase in team size from 1980-2000, with changing returns to depth and breadth explaining over half of this increase. The higher returns to depth and breadth suggest an increasing importance for fostering skills well-suited to teams.

A new generation of solutions for organisations must give support to team management by encouraging team effectiveness and introducing automation. In this dissertation, we tackle several different problems that are connected to team management in organisations. In particular, we contribute by proposing a people management workflow that addresses the problems connected to team composition as well as problems of accurate employee evaluation and task performance evaluation. First, we review the literature on team composition and formation from both the organisational psychology and computer science perspectives and we explore the connection between individuals' attributes and team performance as well as the cross fertilization opportunities between those fields.
