Professors Youngjin Yoo, Sunil Wattal, Bin Zhang, and Temple Biology Professor Rob Kulathinal were awarded a $275,000 NSF grant to study organizational genetics. This is the third NSF grant the researchers have received, since a grant from French research foundation CIGREF. In total, the research has received about $675,000 in grant funding. The organizational genetics project is titled “The structure and dynamics of generative innovations: An organizational genetics approach.”
The project will focus on how organizational ecosystems are built and evolve over time. For example, success and failure of digital products, such as smartphones, is determined by the size and scope of various apps that are built by third-party developers in the ecosystem.
