NETWORK STRUCTURE,STRUCTURAL EQUIVALENCE AND GROUP PERFORMANCE: A SIMULATION RESEARCH ON kNOWLEDGE PROCESS

摘要：

According to the trade-off between information diffusion and diversity in an efficient network,we extend Lazers simulation model on parallel problem solving by adding partoer selection strategy: structurally equivalent imitation.In this way we can examine how the interaction of network structure with agent behavior affects the knowledge process and finally influence group performance. Our simulation experiment suggests that when agents adopt structure equivalence imitation the whole organization implicitly would be divided into independent sub-groups which converge on the different performance level and lead the whole group to a lower performance level.
