National Research University Higher School of Economics
Experts from the Higher School of Economics have determined that cultural diversity is beneficial for team performance in eSports, while language and experience diversity negatively affect performance. These results might be of interest to companies of similar industries aiming to maximize profits. The study, entitled 'Is Diversity Good or Bad? Evidence from eSports Teams Analysis,' was published in the journal Applied Economics.
Researchers at the HSE International Laboratory of Intangible-driven Economy analysed the results of a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) game for 2013-2015 for the top 100 teams, made up of representatives from 23 countries.
