A relationship model for factors influencing knowledge transfer between NPD teams

Abstract

Paper aims:To define a model that describes the relationship among the main factors influencing knowledge transfer (KT) between new product development (NPD) teams. Originality:We offer a systemic vision of the relationship between the KT factors. All main KT factors are analyzed together considering the interdependence among them.Research method: KT factors from the literature were used for the model development, which was accomplished through a quantitative evaluation of scholars and practitioners. To test the model, a practical assessment was conducted in five firms using regression analysis. Main findings:The model describes the relationships of 15 main factors and it can be used for practical assessments or for future theoretical studies. Implications for theory and practice:The model can help practitioners to use knowledge of their teams for continuous innovation in NPD. It allows to perform diagnoses of the KT factors in the specific context of a given firm.

High performance teams: an investigation of the effect on self-management towards performance

“…Work design in Industry 4.0 needs to acknowledge workers have personal capabilities, psychological demands and limitations (Neumann et al, 2021). In Industry 4.0 scenario, organizations need to align their skills to internal ergonomics and provide autonomy, social support, feedbacks, problem-solving workshops for interactions and knowledge management (Bastos et al, 2019;Frank et al, 2018;Peiró et al, 2020). These key-factors highlighted by human factors research in Industry 4.0 have been incorporated by the company in the trainings for the team-building project and results have shown not only overall efficiency performance gains, but also a reduction in shop-floor accidents, increasing safety in work environment.…”

“…Knowledge management is one of the most essential elements for successful empowerment projects. In this context, Frank et al (2018) proposed a systemic vision of the relationship between knowledge transfer factors in product development teams including leadership, organizational culture, individual interests, human and technical skills for strategic team management. Bastos et al (2019) also reunited a couple of studies on the interplay of organizational and teams design, knowledge management and sharing and human values.…”
