Abstract:  The evidence on whether diverse teams are more productive is mixed. We provide experimental evidence to demonstrate that different types of diverseness lead to performance benefits for different tasks. A conceptual framework to make specific what is productive diverseness and to clarify the conditions under which diverse teams overperforms is proposed.
