摘要
This article presents an authentic field study, which used an entropy-based formula to measure team diversity of 50 teams. The data were collected in a division of a high-tech, Fortune 500 company. The results revealed that diversity (race, age, sex, and function) had no impact on quality of innovation, whereas sex and race had a negative and positive impact, respectively, on quantity of innovation. It was also found that race and sex negatively influenced perceptions of teaming consideration.
