Learning in New Technology Development Teams
研究新技术开发团队如何有效学习,分析学习模式、阻碍学习的条件及团队间学习转移,为管理者提升团队学习效果提供建议。
One factor that may distinguish effective new product development teams from ineffective ones is the ability to learn in purposeful and cumulative ways. History can sometimes teach important lessons, yet history is not always transmitted efficiently within organizations. Patricia Meyers and David Wilemon present a study of new product development teams' learning in technology‐based organizations. They note especially the learning modes employed by teams, the conditions blocking team learning which create errors and the learning transfer among teams. Using findings from previous and current research, the authors establish the importance of effective team learning whenever teams are asked to deal with complex new product development challenges. Further, they suggest ways to create a productive learning climate for new product teams and close with a discussion of both managerial implications and suggestions for further research.
