Abstract When individuals in a group have incentives to hoard information, the group may be less effective in achieving its goals.

The results of a series of computer simulations are described in which it is shown that there is a curvilinear relationship between the centralization of a network and its vulnerability to this type of conflict; highly centralized and highly decentralized networks are the least vulnerable.
