....over time. Thus the dilemma. Expectations Recent work on the dynamics of single organizations suffering from the agent level social dilemma has shown that high levels of production can be sustained when groups are small or hierarchically structured into smaller groups with fluid boundaries [6 8]. The ongoing nature of the social dilemma lessens its severity if the agents take into account the future when making decisions in the present. How an agent takes into account the future is wrapped into what we call its expectations. The barest notion of expectations comes from the economic ....

.... metastable state, it may remain there for very long times (exponential in the size of the group) Because of uncertainty (modeled using the parameters p and q) the group will eventually switch over to the global equilibrium very suddenly (in time logarithmic in the size of the group) as shown in [6]. The training criterion for organizations follows by analogy. A manager trains when the observed fraction of organizations training exceeds the critical amount Hm ff m N t : 7) This criterion has the following properties. Managers are more likely to train when their horizon ....
