Résumé
L’objectif de cet article est d’approfondir l’analyse du lien entre expérience professionnelle et performance du groupe. Pour ce faire, nous étudions de manière conjointe les effets de l’accumulation et de la diversité en expérience professionnelle sur la performance du groupe à travers la proposition d’une typologie. Cette typologie est ensuite testée auprès des équipes de football du Brésil ayant participé à quinze coupes du monde (1954-2010). Les résultats montrent que l’accumulation d’expérience, c’est-à-dire la sélection des joueurs les plus expérimentés possibles, ne garantit pas une performance élevée du groupe. En revanche, les équipes faiblement expérimentées mais dotées d’un petit nombre d’individus « experts », correspondent à la configuration la plus performante.

Abstract
This paper consists in a deep analysis of both the professional experience of individuals and the performance of the group. This research focuses simultaneously on the effects of the accumulation and the diversity of professional experience on team performance by proposing a typology. This typology has been tested on Brazil football team, who played the fifteen FIFA world cups (1954-2010). Results show that the accumulation of experience due to the selection of the most experienced does not ensure the highest performance of the group. On the reverse, the less experienced teams who count a few “experts” represent the most efficient configuration.

Resumen
Este artículo propone una tipología establecida à través del estudio simultáneo de los efectos de la acumulación y de la diversidad en términos de experiencia profesional sobre el rendimiento del grupo. Esta tipología esta puesto en practica a través el estudio de la selección nacional de fútbol de Brasil durante las ultimas quince copas del mundo (1954-2010). Los resultados muestran que la acumulación de experiencia, es decir, la selección de los jugadores más experimentados, no garantiza un rendimiento más elevado. Sin embargo, los equipos poco experimentados pero que cuentan con algunos “expertos”, representan la configuración más eficaz.
