Understanding team-based creativity is essential for the Information Systems Community. Based on the extensive studies into Collaborative Information Technologies (CITs), researchers have identified that there is a "real-world" need for CIT-based support. Specifically, they found that there is a lack of understanding of collaborative teamwork which contributes to a lack of diffusion of research outcomes into practice. This paper aims to enhance our understanding through an observational study of a team working on a "follow-up" problem. We analyse the communication record within the team, collect perception data through post hoc interviews and use this data to explain the directly modelled evolution path of the focal artefact. Finally, we demonstrate that expert teams work in a non-linear fashion: heuristically guided but rather unpredictable at a detailed level.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
