What kind of junk statistics are these? HBR ought to be more discerning in what it publishes.

"How successful teams collaborate"... wait, I meant "the average number of users who update the same directories in Dropbox from institutions that tend to have influential research.

Sound insights. Make sure you're collaborating with no more than 2.3 people or else you'll have to move your research projects over to Yale.

Agreed, these sound like completely arbitrary measures.

I agree that senior researchers probably bring valuable experience and insight to research projects, but I don’t think you can validly arrive at that conclusion from the number of times they open a doc in Dropbox.

Yes this was curious. I wonder if these insights (2.3 v 3 collaborators over 180 vs 130 days with the top person contributing x%) was really effective or just a coincidence.

> 2.3 v 3 collaborators over 180 vs 130 days

Yeah, that caught my eye too especially the missing RMS so we could see whether the difference between 2.3 and 3 is significant.
