Optimal Group Size and Knowledge Mobility

The optimal group size for effective communication and idea generation is three, as observed through a study. Groups of four or more led to decreased participation and silenced voices, while groups of two lacked diversity and ran out of ideas quickly. This finding is based on complexity theory and demonstrates the importance of balanced group dynamics. Additionally, the concept of knowledge mobility emphasizes that the collective intelligence of a group surpasses that of any individual, highlighting the significance of information sharing and collaboration within a group setting.
