      abstract = {The effects of team heterogeneity on a team’s win  percentage are measured using panel data from the 2002-2008  National Basketball Association (NBA). Technology increases  have allowed global firms the options of hiring  international workers. This thesis shows the benefits and  problems associated with employing a geographical diverse  workforce in the NBA. The Herfindahl-Hirshman Index was  used to measure team diversity for the 30 NBA teams, which  is regressed against regular season win percentage. The  original results were not significant, but further  regressions showed that increases in HHI and diversity, led  to higher win percentages.},
