| Abstract: |
Teams, in both firms and in sports, jointly produce a product. While a fixed
task is assigned to each member of a team, the individual team productivity of
a worker or player is difficult to conceptualize. This is particularly true,
if this concept is aimed to be operable on observable data. In this paper we,
therefore, propose two versions of a new concept of individual team
productivity which is closely related to eigenvalue centrality; accordingly we
refer to it as eigenvalue productivity. For each version of eigenvalue
productivity we provide an example demonstrating the operability of our
concept. |
