The right to determine the sequence of moves in a dynamic team tournament improves the chances of winning the contest, as shown in this paper. Teams whose captains can decide about the shooting sequence are more likely to win soccer penalty shootouts, highlighting the importance of managerial decisions in dynamic tournaments.
In this paper, we show that the right to determine the sequence of moves in a dynamic team tournament improves the chances of winning the contest. Because studying dynamic team tournaments - like R&D races - with interim feedback is difficult with company data, we examine decisions of highly paid professionals in soccer penalty shootouts and show that teams whose captains can decide about the shooting sequence are more likely to win the shootout. So, managerial decisions matter for outcomes of dynamic tournaments and we discuss potential reasons for this finding. (C) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
