Particularly important to team effectiveness is decision making. In this paper, we report on an inductive qualitative analysis of 360 decision episodes of six FLOSS development teams. Our analysis revealed diversity in decision-making practices that seem to be related to differences in overall team characteristics and effectiveness. }, issn = {978-0-387-72485-0}, doi = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-72486-7_6}, attachments = {https://flosshub.org/sites/flosshub.org/files/Emergent\%20Decision-Making.pdf}, author = {Robert Heckman and Kevin Crowston and Eseryel, U. and Howison, James and Eileen Allen and Li, Qing} }
