Texto completoSpelutveckling idag är en komplex process, som skiljer sig från traditionell programutveckling genom att den presenterar unika utmaningar som härstammar från en multidisciplinär strukturerad process. Som inkluderar teams från många olika fält, såsom konst, ljud, programmering, design, mänskliga faktorer och många fler. Detta tillsammans med utvidgning av industrin de senaste åren har det skett ett behov av mer effektivt tvärfunktionellt samarbete och förståelse mellan dessa team. Denna studie fokuserar på samarbete och förståelsen mellan två specifika team, User Research (UR) och Development för att försöka belysa den uppkomna utmaningen av en klyfta i förståelsen som existerar mellan de två fälten. En fallstudie gjordes på ett etablerat spelföretag i Sverige, där ett UR team noggrant observerades and analyserades. Resultaten från studien visar att problem och praxis kunde grupperas i tre olika områden, Process, Kommunikation och Förståelse där var och en påverkade varandra olika, där majoriteten av de identifierade problemen ofta relaterade till Kommunikation och Förståelse problem. Upptäckterna gav en skymt av klyftan i förståelse som finns i en spelutvecklingsprocess och vilka problem den kan medföra samt vilka möjliga lösningar som skulle kunna effektivisera denna process. Dock, för att få full förståelse över denna klyfta och hur man kan skulle kunna fylla den så behövs en mer noggrannare studie över en längre tid.

Texto completoThe aim of this study is to find out if teambuilding is a good tool to mobilize a project group to increase cooperation and work performance in the team. The master report is a descriptive study of how I planned, prepared and launched a teambuilding program for a project group in a South-Swedish municipality. The team members were hasty put together to launch a public polyclinic treatment program for drug addicts. The project team had less than one year to show good result of its work to get the project granted permanent founding from the municipality. But good cooperation among team members does not occur by itself. After a short time the project manager felt that the project group did not function like it should. I then started my work collected data from the group through interviews, meetings, observations, and questionnaires. My theoretical framework is among others the FIRO-theory, Team Role Inventory and theory X and Y. To be able to measure the effectiveness of the teambuilding I took the use of an individually written questionnaire to measure the situation in the team at one of my early meetings with the team and then again after the teambuilding. The result of my studies did not give a clear answer to the question; if team building is a good tool for mobilizing a project group to increased cooperation and work performance. The survey response on the follow up questionnaire after the teambuilding had too many non-response questions. That makes this study reliability weakened. On the other hand I will state that the development of the group through the teambuilding have shown some positive effects when it comes to cooperation between team members and between team members and team leader. On the other side the collected data also show that some of the project group’s positive advantages were weaken after the teambuilding. I have therefore not been able to verify my hypotheses that team building is a good tool to mobilize a project group to increase cooperation and work performance.

Texto completoI en snabbväxande digital ekonomi är möjligheterna för nyetablerade bolag enorma. Efterfrågan efter innovativa och disruptiva produkter har vuxit exponentiellt. I denna miljö existerar det både små start-ups och miljardbolag med tusentals anställda. Någonstans i mitten mellan start-ups och miljardbolag finns det ett bolagsstadie som benämns scale-up. Scale-up kan ses som framgångsrika start-ups som handskas med de utmaningar som kommer med att snabbt växa och samtidigt konkurrera i en tuff marknad. Snabbväxande scale-ups behöver balansera kundernas efterfrågan för innovativa produkter/tjänster samtidigt som eventuella investerare kräver bevis på att företaget har en lönsam affärsmodell. För att uppfylla allt detta krävs det en snabb, innovativ och adaptiv utvecklingsmiljö för företagets produkter och tjänster. Crossfunctional teams är en intressant modell för att hantera några av de utmaningar som scale-ups står inför. Denna studie är en explorativ fall-studie som följer ett cross-functional team på en svensk scale-up i baserad i Stockholmsregionen. Företaget är en leverantör till gamingindustrin och erbjuder B2C produkter och tjänster till tusentals kunder. Dennastudie följer ett cross-functional team från initierandet av teamet och under flera veckors tid. Studien bidrar med slutsatser gällande vilka förutsättningar och framgångsfaktorer som bidrar till att ett cross-functional team kan uppnå sin fulla potential. Denna fall-studie bidrar också med insikter kring hur olika kontextuella faktorer påverkar arbetet för crossfunctional team. Slutligen, presenterar studien olika framgångsfaktorer, både generella och kontextuella för cross-functional teams. Studien bidrar även med insikter gällande de olika fördelarna och utmaningarna som uppkommer om man arbetar med crossfunctional teams.

Texto completoStuprörsstrukturen visar sig i många olika organisationer och branscher, där den orsakar problem då medarbetare och chefer tenderar att se mer till sina egna, eller den enskilda avdelningens, målsättningar än organisationens övergripande. Studien syftar till att identifiera vilka kommunikativa faktorer som bidrar till stuprörsstrukturen, för att vidare urskilja den mest kritiska faktorn. För att uppnå studiens syfte har en fallstudie genomförts på ett utvalt företag med stuprörsstruktur. Vidare har intervjuer och observationer skett för att kunna urskilja olika problemområden, där de problemområden som identifierats sedan har ställts mot tre kommunikativa faktorer som framkommit som bidragande till stuprörsstrukturer i flertalet tidigare studier. Den faktor som har flest samband med de olika problemområdena har ansetts som den mest kritiska faktorn i studien. Resultatet av studien anger ”Bristande förståelse för varandras arbete” som den mest kritiska faktorn i en stuprörsstruktur och att denna kan motverkas genom att följa fem rekommendationer: lyft positiva samarbeten kontinuerligt, ta upp problematik med varandra direkt när den uppstår, kartlägg hur kommunikationen går i verksamheten, implementera en långsiktig modell samt ha löpande workshops med inblandade avdelningar. Slutsatsen är att stuprörsstrukturen kan skapa flera oönskade effekter i en verksamhet men att insatserna för att motverka dessa inte måste vara invecklade eller vidare resurskrävande. Att följa fem enkla steg mot bättre samverkan och kommunikation kan vara en bra bit påväg mot en bättre struktur.

Texto completoThis research deals with the understanding and characterization of the role of design in a digital product development company and through the point of view of members of the project teams and their managers. One of the main motivation for conducting this study is due to the fact that little research has been conducted at the regional level and oriented for digital products, in order to explore the topic, and also with the aim of providing subsidies to better exploit the benefits of the use of design and designers skills. The investigation was conducted from a case study in the company where the researcher works as a designer too and based on a temporal perspective of the roles of design and understanding of the functioning of multidisciplinary teams in the digital product development process. Two instruments were selected from the theoretical background in order to analyze the results: the Design Ladder and the Taxonomy of Roles Design. Lastly, a discussion is presented on the perception of design and was concluded that the ripeness level of design are in the second level of Design Ladder: design as esthetics, although it is perceived by the team speech a desire for reach the third level who treats design as a process.

Texto completoBegreppet värdeskapande har historiskt sett studerats utifrån olika perspektiv. Tidigare studier har visat på att finansavdelningen kan, utöver de traditionella uppgifterna, bidra till att skapa värde inom företaget. Med bakgrund i detta är syftet med studien att undersöka huruvida det nuvarande dilemmat med immateriella tillgångar (kunddata) spelar en viktig roll i finansiella aktiviteter för att leda till skapande av affärsvärde. En litteraturöversikt i studien belyser följande värden som kunddata eventuellt leder till: kundlojalitet, beslutsfattande och förutsägelser. Variablerna testas i denna studie för att se om det, ur ett finansiellt perspektiv, har en effekt på värdeskapande. Tidigare studier visar även att data kan användas effektivt i tvärfunktionella miljöer. En modererande variabel tvärfunktionella team undersöks därmed för att se om den har en interaktionseffekt. Ett frågeformulär sändes till 56 företag som var intresserade av att delta, varav 42 företag svarade. Givet bristen på antal respondenter, visar resultatet att beslutfattande är en värdefull faktor för värdeskapande. Resultatet av moderatorn visar att den styrker relationen mellan förutsägelser och värdeskapande för finansavdelningen.

Texto completoIn recent years digitalization of physical products has increased, and many companies has therefore started to implement digital components in their products. To add software to an analog product creates new challenges for the product development teams, which up until then mainly have been developing analog products. Many companies have, as a result of the digitalization, chosen to adapt their product development methods to manage the integration between digital and analog development processes. The purpose of this study is to investigate what the product developing process looks like today in companies that have digitalized their products. The aspects that are specifically considered are; project duration, product development method, organizational structure of the company, and implementation of big data in the product development process. Companies that develop products for home use is one example of companies that are going through a digitalization process of their previously analog products, which is why this branch of companies is targeted in this study. The study was conducted through an initial literature study, followed by interviews with four responding companies, who all develop connected home products containing IoT-technology. The study shows that the companies aim for a more agile work procedure, but that there are problems with integrating hardware and software development in product development processes. Nonetheless, the time duration of the projects does not appear to have changed significantly in comparison to pre-digitalization. It is also revealed that cross-functional teams are an advantage within the collaboration between the digital and analog parts in the development process. The study finally shows that big data, collected through digitalized products, is used by the companies as a tool for increasing the effectiveness of the product development.

Texto completoBackground: The increasing concern for our planet’s well-being has induced an increased focus on sustainable development. It is of importance for companies to engage in sustainable development, partly since they are the reason for many sustainability-related issues, and partly because they have the resources required to solve the issues. In order to affect sustainable development, companies need to develop sustainable innovations to change their products, processes and business models. However, the research field concerning sustainable innovations is still in its infancy stage and therefore requires more research. In particular, the research field is in need of more qualitative research which refers to how sustainable innovations are developed on a company level. Purpose: The aim of this study is to increase the understanding of how sustainability can be incorporated into the innovation process. Method: A qualitative study with eight respondents distributed across seven semi-structured interviews. Findings: The study points out three factors that are essential when creating an organizational culture which encourage learning. The three factors are sustainable framework, trust in the employees’ abilities and lastly freedom for employees to form their work processes. Together the factors create a learning culture that drives the incorporation of sustainability into the innovation process. The study also pinpoints the need of creating cross-functional groups in the initial phases of the innovation process. The cross-functional teams should be encouraged to use an exploratory search method. An exploratory search for innovation can be conducted within the corporation or through external collaborations.

Texto completoThe competition in the market is getting far more resilient, hence, the customer perspective becomes an increasingly important success factor. The purpose of this report is, therefore, to investigate and immerse the understanding of how companies in the home appliance industry implement customer involvement in the different phases of the product development process. In addition, an understanding of how customer involvement will affect the company and how they use and spread the knowledge from these implementations will be created. The research questions were answered through an in-depth literature study to create a theoretical framework and therefore gain an understanding of prevailing theories and methods used in customer involvement. This was subsequently compared with a semi-structured interview study in which customer involvement in the home appliances industry was investigated. The respondents who participated in the interview study worked at Electrolux, an international company in the home appliance industry. The study shows that there are different opinions about customer involvement regarding the phases in which the consumer should be involved in the process and to what extent the integration should take place. The results of this research indicate that the methods used to integrate users in the product development process are mainly for informational purposes, to create an understanding and knowledge of the consumer's use of the product. This knowledge could later on can be used by the product developers. Involving consumers in the process was considered to have positive effects, however there were some difficulties that were important to take into account in order to achieve a desired and useful result. The study also shows that cross-functional teams could contribute to easier communication and information management since many different functions are involved throughout the product development process.

Texto completoThe purpose of this study is to investigate the suppliers’ view of their relation to Stora Enso. The study focuses on the relation between the central purchasing unit of Stora Enso and the suppliers but also gives indications of how the overall interface between Stora Enso and the suppliers works. The purpose is explored through a number of research objectives, which are presented below.
Areas essential for the functioning of the central purchasing unit:
- The overall organisation of Stora Enso’s purchasing activities,
- Stora Enso’s cross-functional purchasing teams,
- The internal coordination and communication,
- The relational bonds between Stora Enso and the suppliers
Important goals and visions for the central purchasing unit:
- Minimising the Total Business Cost,
- Being an attractive partner to the suppliers
Currently discussed issues within the central purchasing organisation:
- The potential for closer cooperation between Stora Enso and the suppliers,
- The professionalism of Stora Enso’s purchasers
Stora Enso is well organised for purchasing but the centrally coordinated cross-functional teams are not working as well as they could. The internal coordination has improved lately but the central purchasing unit’s mission to optimise for Stora Enso as a whole often creates tension within the organisation, as a result of the mills being profit centres. The internal communication is not efficient, and the suppliers are strengthening their bonds with the mills by taking over the responsibility for certain information flows. The central purchasing unit and the cross-functional teams have the responsibility but not the authority to carry out their task of identifying and reducing the Total Business Cost. Stora Enso is an attractive customer for their suppliers, mainly because of the big volumes they represent. The current negotiation strategies are not advantageous for the introduction of collaborative supplier relations but other factors in the relation between the suppliers and Stora Enso speak strongly in favour for such a strategic change. When it comes to professionalism and business moral the suppliers give the central purchasing unit a very positive evaluation.

Texto completoProcess industries have to strive to attain high resource utilization so as to increase their productivity and competitiveness in the market. Many indicators have been used to measure their manufacturing performance, one of them is the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). However, high OEE values per se do not ensure superior global performance. Some authors suggest that the consideration of indicators with broader magnitude such as Overall Plant Effectiveness (OPE) is more appropriate to measure and analyze the overall manufacturing performance since it also reflects the impacts of support areas on a plant\'s capacity utilization. This research reviews the application of OEE in companies that depend heavily on the ability to rationalize the utilization of their production capacity and explores the use of indicators derived from it. With this purpose, a literature review is presented to identify the limitations of OEE, to enumerate indicators derived from OEE and characterize them as management tools that may offer a more global perspective to the measurement of capacity utilization. Moreover, a case study is developed in a food processing company to identify how the diverse agents responsible for the losses in production capacity including those who perform beyond the manufacturing function, can be involved in the effort to eliminate or control this problem. The study shows that the use of OPE besides OEE can make the detection of the root cause of problems more effective and induce the integration of manufacturing strategy with other functional strategies, and thus promote the increase of overall manufacturing performance.

Texto completoIn recent years, companies have tried to design their office environments into one that calls for more communication both within and between different functions in the product development process. As the product development process transforms a product from idea to launch, it is considered a significant challenge to integrate the functions involved with each other. As a result, many companies have implemented activity-based offices. By applying this, companies expect communication to increase and, in turn, have a positive impact on the product development process. However, research is controversial as to how activity-based affects the process. The purpose of this study is to study how communication looks at activity-based offices and how collaboration is affected between functions during the product development process. The study was carried out by initially conducting a literature study to gain an increased understanding of the field. Subsequently, a qualitative semi-structured interview survey was conducted with four respondents from two different companies. Both companies have implemented activity-based offices and are working on product development processes. The study shows that in the implementation of activity-based offices, informal meetings have increased in frequency and collaboration between functions. The physical distance between team members has increased, which has led to less face-to-face interaction and more use of digital tools. When the team is not co-located, more structure is required, which has been a positive development. The product development process is worked more cross-functionally between the functions when implementing an activity-based workplace, ABW

The objective of this thesis is to understand the learning processes that occur in crossfunctional groups in a perspective of Advanced Planning Product Quality (APQP) in automotive companies. The specific objectives seeks to identify and describe the constitution process of cross-functional groups and its relationship to learning; identify and describe the methodologies used inside cross-functional groups and its relationship to learning; identify, describe and discuss the factors that difficult the learning process inside cross-functional groups; identify, describe and discuss the factors that facilitate the learning process of crossfunctional groups and identify, describe and discuss the moments which there was evidence of group and collective learning. The theoretical framework proposed is designed of individual and collective learning developed by Nancy Dixon and team learning from the perspective developed especially in studies of Amy C. Edmondson and colleagues. The field research was developed in a qualitative, descriptive and interpretative way. It is also considered exploratory because the phenomenon of learning in work groups has been a topic that reveals little knowledge accumulated and systematized. Considering that research begins with a contextual-interpretive perspective, was proposed as the method qualitative case-study to observe, explore, interpret, understand and discuss issues related to learning processes. In order to achieve the proposed objectives and answer the research question, respondents were members of cross-functional groups of two distinct organizations (Alfa and Beta), three groups per company, totaling nineteen interviewees. Moreover, the non-participant observation is also a strategy to collect data. In order to structure, organize and analyze the data, was employed the templates analysis method, offered by Nigel King, that consist in the use of a priori codes derived from the theoretical framework. The results showed that, since there is psychological safety established, both team and collective learning occurs when the entire group, converging the members conflicts and discussions on consensus. Furthermore, the learning process is facilitated since the group constitution, mainly due to the mobility of its members, the manager's role as a catalyst of information, working methodologies employed in the two organizations, the Transitive Memory Systems, the "corridors", the practice of consulting the functional areas by its members, the existence of international forums, the actual physical arrangement of the companies surveyed, the moral support practiced in the core community, the investment of financial resources for the development of ideas members, the recognition of the expertise of the members, learning through practice of collective work, the willingness of participants to learning, among others. The indications for future studies encompass elements as macro-organizational culture and meso-organizational diversity and its influence on group learning, which are also limiting aspects of this research.

Os objetivos específicos buscam identificar e descrever o processo de formação de grupos multifuncionais e sua relação com a aprendizagem; identificar e descrever as metodologias utilizadas no funcionamento dos grupos multifuncionais e sua relação com a aprendizagem; identificar, descrever e discutir os fatores que prejudicam a aprendizagem dos grupos multifuncionais; identificar, descrever e discutir os fatores que facilitam a aprendizagem dos grupos multifuncionais e identificar, descrever e discutir momentos nos quais houve evidências de aprendizagem (grupal e coletiva) nos grupos multifuncionais pesquisados. O arcabouço teórico proposto está assentado na concepção de aprendizagem individual e coletiva desenvolvida por Nancy Dixon e na perspectiva da aprendizagem em nível grupal especialmente tratada nos estudos de Amy C. Edmondson e colaboradores. A pesquisa de campo foi desenvolvida em uma perspectiva qualitativa, de natureza descritiva e interpretativa. Considera-se também exploratória, pois o fenômeno da aprendizagem em grupos de trabalho tem sido um tema que revela pouco conhecimento acumulado e sistematizado. Considerando-se que a pesquisa parte de uma perspectiva contextual-interpretativa, foi proposto como método o estudo de caso qualitativo a fim de observar, explorar, interpretar, compreender e discutir aspectos relacionados aos processos de aprendizagem. Com a finalidade de se atingir os objetivos propostos e responder à pergunta de pesquisa, foram entrevistados integrantes de grupos multifuncionais de duas organizações distintas (Alfa e Beta), sendo três grupos por empresa, totalizando dezenove entrevistados. Além disso, a observação não participante também se constituiu em uma estratégia de investigação. Como forma de estruturar, organizar e analisar os dados utilizou-se os templates propostos por Nigel King - uso a priori de códigos obtidos a partir do referencial teórico. Os resultados mostraram que a segurança psicológica instaurada no âmbito grupal e coletivo, a aprendizagem ocorre quando o grupo inteiro consegue convergir seus conflitos e discussões internas em consensos. Além disso, o processo de aprendizagem é facilitado desde o momento em que o grupo é formado, principalmente devido à mobilidade dos seus membros, ao papel do gestor enquanto agente catalisador de informações, às metodologias de trabalho empregadas nas duas organizações, ao sistema artificial de Memória Transitiva, aos corredores , à prática de consultas às áreas funcionais pelos seus membros, à existência de fóruns internacionais, ao próprio arranjo físico das empresas pesquisadas, ao apoio moral praticado no ceio da coletividade, ao aporte dos recursos financeiros para o desenvolvimento das ideias, ao reconhecimento do conhecimento dos membros, à aprendizagem por meio da prática do trabalho coletivo, à predisposição para a aprendizagem dos participantes, entre outras. As indicações resultantes para estudos futuros abarcam elementos como cultura macro-organizacional e diversidade meso-organizacional e sua influência na aprendizagem do grupo, sendo estes também os aspectos limitadores desta pesquisa.

Texto completoFordonssektorn kännetecknas av höga utvecklingskostnader och en konkurrenskraftig marknad där aktörerna strävar mot vinst till aktieägare. För att ge en hög avkastning till aktieägarna så arbetar man i tvärfunktionella team för att minska produktion och utvecklingskostnader samt för att anlita de bästa leverantörerna. Att arbeta i en konkurrenskraftig miljö med externa aktörer gör att immateriella rättigheter blir allt viktigare och företag satsar därför stora resurser för att detta ska hanteras på rätt sätt. Patentportföljanalys är ett välkänt verktyg för att extrahera information från omgivande aktörers patent, vilket traditionellt främst har använts i produktutveckling, men även har potential att öka bruttoresultat genom ett effektivare samarbete över avdelningar i tvärfunktionella inköpsteam. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur man implementerar och använder patentportföljanalys som ett tvärfunktionellt verktyg inom fordonssektorn. För att uppfylla syftet har en kvalitativ fallstudie genomförts genom kvalitativa intervjuer och workshops vid det undersökta företaget. Resultatet analyserades med hjälp av ett skräddarsytt ramverk som forskarna för denna undersökning benämnt som ”the system integration model”. Det här ramverket sammansvetsar den välkända modellen ”technology acceptance model” som syftar till att undersöka acceptans av ny teknik och den välkända modellen ”Managing four processes” som handlar om hur man skapar ett strategiskt management verktyg. ”The system integration model” utvecklades och validerades av forskarna i flera steg under studien. Resultatet visar att patentportföljanalys har en hög uppfattad nytta trots att det är låg systemanvändning i det undersökta företaget i dagsläget, särskilt i inköpsavdelningen. Den största barriären för användandet av patentportföljanalysen verkar vara att företagsstrategin för immateriella rättigheter ännu inte har kommunicerats och kopplats till de olika avdelningarna fullt ut. Det noterades även barriärer i kommunikationen mellan- och förståelsen för- de olika avdelningarna, vilken kan minskas genom utbildning och tydliga kontaktpunkter och riktlinjer. Den här undersökningen indikerar ytterligare på att patentportföljanalys är användbart i tvärfunktionella team då det ger möjligheten att kartlägga konkurrenslandskapet, säkra produkt- och eftermarknadsexklusivitet och förbättra leverantörsavtal, vilket i sin tur kan öka bruttovinsten.

Texto completoIn recent decades supply relationship management have become a competitive factor for companies worldwide. This master thesis will partly address the theory of supply relationship management and integrate it with value co-creation, which is an additional important aspect for companies wanting to implement a win-win thinking with their collaborative partners. The study have been conducted at the purchasing department at Valmet in Karlstad with the purpose of identifying value creation in a supplier relationship. The empirical data have been analyzed to represent activities that can be applied in an early stage of a product/project cycle. This leads to Design to Cost, which constitutes the third and last foundation for the literature study of this work. This study started with a literature review, focusing on the three main subjects; supply relationship management, value co-creation and Design to Cost. This review was then concluded by a theoretical framework and followed up with a qualitative data collection. Semi-structured interviews were used in two different parts of the study, first with employees at Valmet in Karlstad and then with their suppliers. During the analysis the data was compared to the established theoretical framework. The results show that value co-creating in the study's context is based foremost on communication and trust. It is also important to know at what phase the involvement should be accomplished. As this is a study focusing on Design to Cost it is recommended to involve the suppliers at an early stage. As a result more opportunities are given and the cooperation is less restrained by any technical design decisions etc. The identified activities from the analysis have been prioritized and a recommendation have been created partly to Valmet, but also to similar industries. As the result is based on empirical data analyzed from a theoretical perspective, it can therefore be justified that the solutions are general to a certain extent and thus applicable in other contexts. The activities have been divided into 4 themes; communication, collaboration, information sharing and categorization. For instance, the proposals for activities concern education, follow-ups and feedback, internal benchmarking, development plans, cross-functional teams, quality assurance, forecasts, cost breakdown as well as categorization of supplier/customer and products.

In these years, corporations have valued the cooperation among departments in their organizations. Team members from cross-functional teams composed of different functional areas have frequent communication due to the need for cooperation and support by each other. A well-performed team relies on effective communication and such interactive behavior between team members. These team members come from different departments or functions, which results in the variations in team members’ standpoint and ways of doing things, but these make the teams more flexible and diversified. On the other hand, each department’s sectionalism and patterns of behavior by usual practices cause the cross-functional teams’ barrier of communication. Thus, this study applies the concept about the classification of teams raised by Larson & Frank (1989), and to study the issue of teamwork effectiveness of cross-functional teams through the qualitative interview method, and further to bring up conclusion and suggestion towards cross-functional teamwork. This study considers the inter-dependence between cross-functional team members, need for innovation of team’s task, and organizational support as three dimensions to generalize the managerial implications in the respect of the performance of teamwork. In sum, under general conditions, “the autonomy of teamwork” and “the clarity of team’s task” both could be coordinated to improve the performance of teamwork, however , “the trust among team members” is both a necessary factor and basis to facilitate the communication and coordination in cross-functional teams and on which teams could work smoothly. Corporate culture and team leader would also influence communication among team members, therefore organization should build a free, open, and respectful communication environment. In addition, organization should empower team members with enough authority which helps team members exert their influence while communicating with other department. Besides, as a vital role of guiding, facilitating, and coordinating cross-department cooperation, the team leader boosts team’s morale, provides decision-making support, and motivate team members to achieve team’s goal. If necessary, team leaders should make good use of their ability of coordination to raise team members’ coherence to their team, and further to help team members to reach an agreement.

Texto completoSoftware development is a highly knowledge-intensive industry that demands collaboration on behalf of everyone who participates in the process. Moreover, the successful accomplishment of the process depends on knowledge sharing and acquisition among the stakeholders. For this reason, organizations must understand how the knowledge-sharing process unrolls among employees. Nowadays, geographical distance is unavoidable and, thence, subjective distance must be considered by researchers. This study provides an analysis of knowledge-sharing behavior within employees in software development roles in virtual teams, namely functional and technical, having subjective distance in mind. A research model based on a literature review was proposed to understand different dimensions of knowledge sharing. Afterward, the research model was empirically tested based on data collected in an organization with expertise in ERP software development through the implementation of a questionnaire. The method used to analyze the data was PLS-SEM. Results suggest that individuals share knowledge mainly to fulfill intrinsic needs; however, organizational culture also plays an important role in knowledge sharing. The results are fundamental whether for academics and practitioners to acknowledge how knowledge sharing occurs and, consequently, help in the decisionmaking processes regarding Knowledge Management within the companies.
O desenvolvimento de software é uma indústria baseada em conhecimento que requer colaboração por parte de todos aqueles que participam no processo. Além disso, o sucesso deste depende da aquisição e partilha de conhecimento entre os stakeholders. Por estas razões, as organizações devem perceber como é que o processo de partilha de conhecimento desenrola entre os seus colaboradores. Nos dias de hoje, a distância física é inevitável e, por isso, a distância subjetiva deve ser considerada pelos investigadores. Este estudo oferece uma análise do comportamento de partilha de conhecimento entre os membros de equipas virtuais em papéis de desenvolvimento de software, nomeadamente funcionais e técnicos, tendo em conta a distância subjetiva. Um modelo de pesquisa baseado na revisão de literatura foi proposto para perceber as diferentes dimensões da partilha de conhecimento. De seguida, o modelo foi testado empiricamente com base em dados recolhidos numa organização especializada em desenvolvimento de software ERP através da implementação de um questionário. O método usado para analisar os dados foi o PLS-SEM. Os resultados sugerem que os indivíduos partilham conhecimento para satisfazer necessidades intrínsecas. No entanto, a cultura organizacional também tem um papel importante na partilha de conhecimento. Os resultados são fundamentais quer para académicos quer para praticantes para reconhecer como é que a partilha de conhecimento ocorre e, consequentemente, ajudar na tomada de decisão a respeito da Gestão de Conhecimento nas empresas.

Product development nowadays require different professional background teams co-work each other to develop products to meet market requirement. Due to coordinate with different Cross-Functional Team, effective communication and interaction between Cross-Functional Team will benefit product development process. In the research I had interviewed product design department of five companies or business units, discussing communication issue between Cross-Functional Teams in product development process. The research found: 1) Cross-Functional Team use to face to face, telephone, E-Mail, conference, four communication channel to communicate each other. 2) The major bad communication happened in system level design stage, the second are detail design and concept development stage. 3) The reasons of bad communication are: Design target is not clear, different background between Cross-Functional Team, team members insist on personal opinion, team members lacked for joining project and lack of detail design review. Background difference is key factor for bad communication between Cross-Functional Team. 4) The effect for bad communication are: lose business, design change, project schedule delay, product development expanse increase, product quality issue. Lose business is most serious result due to bad communication. 5) Communication issue between Cross-Functional Team eliminated by project manager or functional department manager. 6) The factor of background difference effect bad communication that happened in each stage of product development process. 7) Communication issue of project organization eliminated by project manager but if design target is not clear also cause business lose result. Matrix organization coordination slowly between Cross-Functional Team will effect project schedule delay also. Cross-disciplinary learning and interaction to produce common knowledge may reduce communication issue of background difference between Cross-Functional Team.

The organizational structure has always been an important thing in the business, because it affects the composition of the personnel, and the enterprise''s performance. Speeding up innovation and eliminating redundancy are not only the very core practices at the organization level but also vital for adaptation and renewal of cross-functional new product teams. However, these two countervailing concepts raise a potential paradox. This research attempts to organizational redundancy and the innovativeness of Cross-Functional New Product Teams to find out the correlation and through the intra-team communications during conflict to explore the principles and organizational redundancy of the interaction overlapped configuration under the R&D results for the moderating effects. This research belongs to a quantitative examination that adopts questionnaires survey to gather the data with 269 valid respondents. (1)There are significant relationships between information overlap and strategic rotation of organizational redundancy and innovativeness of R and D results. (2)Team conflict solution for collaborative communication has the different moderating effects between organizational redundancy and new product innovativeness of R and D results. (3)Team conflict solution for controversial communication has little moderating effects between organizational redundancy and new product innovativeness of R&D results. The regulation of the conflict in the team members of the solution was found to be different from the results of previous studies. Collaborative communication yielded a significant negative correlation, such result may lead to cultural issues between Taiwan and other nations where related literature derived.
