The Role of Hiperspecialization in Science

Abstract

With hyperspecialization we have tasks that previously were done only by one person to be divided into smaller tasks and that can be performed by several stakeholders. This paradigm causes each part of the task to be assigned to a hyper expert who is proficient only in that specific part of the task. This approach promises to bring great gains in productivity for companies that use technological tools that support and enable this new type of work.
