| Abstract: | A key element of the authors' methodology is the ability to successfully conduct longitudinal studies. The authors illustrate the methodology in an example study of groups of size three and groups of size five. Experiments are carefully monitored and controlled as a means to begin development of a set of consistent and comparable investigations, of groups of differing sizes and differing levels of membership continuity and change. The initial experiments yielded results formally verifying that membership continuity produces better meeting outcomes (increased performance and productivity, and decreased solution time) while membership change produced the exact opposite (decreased performance and productivity, and increased solution time). |
