A research group of the Faculty of Business at the Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT) has conducted a study showing that basketball teams concentrate their forces on a few players "star", are more likely to win the game if the role distributed among all team members.
This conclusion contradicts the latest theories about basketball that said despite having outstanding players, the best strategy is to play as a team and we all do a lot.
Researchers Manuel Ruiz, José A. Martínez, Fernando A. Lopez and Almudena Castilian, used over 30 NBA seasons and found that teams focus their offensive productivity in three or four players "star" get more wins.
This research could serve as a basis to say whether more effective working groups globally really are concentrating on higher productivity but, says the research team, it would take more studies on the subject, explains the lead researcher Jose Antonio Martinez.
The article UPCT researchers has been published in the American Journal of Auantitative Analysis in Sports, the most prestigious in its field internationally.
