Hi, I have 2 questions regarding Reagans and Zuckerman's work on R&D teams (Reagans R and Zuckerman E (2001) "Networks, diversity and productivity: The social capital of corporate R&D teams," Organization Science, 12(4):502-517): 1. Is the paper highly regarded? i.e., is it often cited? 2. In their metric for "team density" they normalize the strength of ties from i to j using the strength of the strongest tie from i. (See attached figure.) Why? Can people comment on the pros/cons of normalizing relative to each individual (max(tie(i,*))) versus normalizing relative to the whole team (max(tie(*,*))). thanks Doug Bryan [log in to unmask]
