An international team that relies heavily on large amounts of disparate information may be better positioned to capitalize on its then a team from one country would.

I would say that such an international team would rely on its diversity to give it an advantage of a team only from one nation as say in a geological international team that had members from countries with different geological environments ie say one that had major volcanoes like Ecuador or Guatemala compared to one that had major Precambrian Shields like say Brazil or Canada would have an overall much more rounded understanding of the composition of the earth not restricted to a small part of it.,,
