| Abstract: | As a first step towards understanding the evolution of small groups in firms, this paper develops and tests a simple decision-theoretic model of research-unit evolution in which, as managers resolve their uncertainty over time, they shut down under-performing units and remove under-performing unit heads. The selection process generates several testable hypotheses about how unit and head characteristics affect the assignment of heads to units and resource allocation within the firm. |
