Superman or the Fantastic Four? knowledge combination And experience in Innovative Teams
研究了知识和经验如何影响个人与团队创新的平均绩效和绩效波动,发现多知识领域增加产品绩效的波动性,而丰富经验提高平均绩效;多成员团队和合作经验丰富的团队产出价值波动更大,但个人比团队更有效地整合知识多样性。
This study focuses on effects of knowledge and experience on both mean and variance measures of individual and team innovations. We propose that multiple knowledge domains produce novel combinations that increase the variance of product performance and that extensive experience produces outputs with high average performance. We analyzed innovations in the comic book industry, finding that innovations with extreme success and failure were affected by factors similar to those affecting high-performing innovations. Multimember teams and teams with experience working together produced innovations with greater variation in value, but individuals were able to combine knowledge diversity more effectively than teams.
