Silo mentality in teams: emergence, repercussions and recommended options for change by Debora Jeske, Deborah Olson

“…Findings – The emergence and persistence of silos was mostly attributed to company characteristics (size, growth and stakeholder management) as well as communication inefficiencies (lack of role clarity and ownership within teams), which in turn were impacted by situational variables (pandemic and turnover). The authors noted the effect of team composition effects, team competition and organizational changes (rapid growth and restructuring) as potential contributors to the formation and persistence of silos. …”

Creep constitutive model of logarithmic fractal structure derivative of deep hard brittle rock by LIU Yipin, LIU Wenbo, ZHANG Shuguang, HUANG Xiang, LI Yingbo, ZHAO Shutian

“…The model is further optimized, and the nonlinear dashpot is deeply improved by using the logarithmic fractal structure derivative dashpot with variable time fractal dimension. This optimization method fully considers the dynamic influence of time factor on fractal dimension, so that the dashpot can be more suitable for the actual deformation behavior of surrounding rock under complex time history. …”
