The Internal and External Networks of Knowledge-Intensive Teams (2013, background): “Because routine tasks generally involve activities that are predetermined and predictable, they generally are less knowledge- and information-intensive (Brown & Miller, 2000) and they require less coordination (Van de Ven, Delbecq, & Koenig, 1976).”
Interagency Communication Networks During Emergencies (2006, methodology): “The research uses a theoretical framework primarily drawn from the emergency communication and coordination literature (Brown & Miller, 2000; Comfort, 1999; Dynes & Quarantelli, 1977; Kettl, 2004; Knuth, 1999; Quarantelli, 1997) and from social capital theory (Agranoff & McGuire, 1998; Axelrod &…”
Transactive Memory Systems in Organizations: Matching Tasks, Expertise, and People (2004, background): “Centrality in the group communication network may reflect group or organizational structure, possession of task-relevant knowledge, or nontask factors such as social status (e.g., Brown and Miller 2000, Kameda et al. 1997).”
Gender and leadership emergence: A meta‐analysis and explanatory model (2018, background): “Likewise, in a study examining the emergence of communication networks, dominance (a classic agentic trait; Wiggins, 1991) was associated with a greater amount of participation, including both sending and receiving more messages (Brown & Miller, 2000; see Schmid-Mast, 2002).”
Group performance and decision making. (2004, background): “Within certain limits, groups seem able to adapt to higher levels of stress (Brown & Miller 2000, Hollenbeck et al. 1997, Volpe et al. 1996); however, if such stress grows sufficiently high, group performance will eventually be degraded (Adelman et al. 2003, Entin & Serfaty 1999, Urban et al. 1996).”
