Understanding Self-Managed Teams Using Biomimicking, Mohammad Nozari
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
AbstractThe potential high performance of self-managed teams can only materialize with implementing such teams properly and differently from traditional manager-led teams. This qualitative descriptive multiple case study presents biomimicking as a unique and untapped resource to achieve that potential by applying a biomimicking lens to help understand successful decision-making patterns for self-managed teams. The study population included team members of self-managed teams working in information technology companies in Toronto, Ontario, as the technology hub of Canada with a tendency to apply the latest approaches for teamwork performance and output. The conceptual framework of the study included teamwork, self-management, social choice, …

We are living within the age of information. The ever increasing flow of data and publications poses a monumental bottleneck to scientific progress as despite the amazing abilities of the human mind, it is woefully inadequate in processing such a vast quantity of multidimensional information. The small bits of flotsam and jetsam that we leverage belies the amount of useful information beneath the surface. It is imperative that automated tools exist to better search, retrieve, and summarize this content. Combinations of document indexing and search engines can quickly find you a document whose content best matches your query - if …

Current research paradigms such as traditional randomized control trials mostly rely on relatively narrow efficacy data which results in high internal validity and low external validity. Given this fact and the need to address many complex real-world healthcare questions in short periods of time, alternative research designs and approaches should be considered in translational research. In silico modeling studies, along with longitudinal observational studies, are considered as appropriate feasible means to address the slow pace of translational research. Taking into consideration this fact, there is a need for an approach that tests newly discovered genetic tests, via an in silico …
