“…Several studies have focused on the details of how market information is processed in NPD. In their research, both Ottum and Moore (1997) and Akgün, Lynn and Yilmaz (2006) found strong interrelationships across gathering, sharing and using market information. Moorman (1995) investigated the same relationships at the firm level and found that market information use mediates the relationships between information acquisition and dissemination, and new product success.…”

This research explores the antecedents and consequences of market information processing during the development process of new high-tech products. To this end, we develop and test a conceptual model for market information processing in three generic stages of the new product development (NPD) process (predevelopment, development and commercialization). In addition, we explore the relationships between market information processing, its antecedents, and product advantage and success. We test our model with responses from 166 NPD-managers in Dutch high-tech firms. The findings show that the market information processing variables are related differentially to new product outcomes, even when controlling for product advantage and product newness to the market. In addition, we found that companies can enhance market information processing for new high-tech products by influencing project priority and flexibility to new products, and by reducing interdepartmental conflict.

“…Numerous learning events in academia, in entrepreneurship (new venture teams), and in organizations in general are team-based (Senge, 1990). Previous research highlighted a positive impact of team learning on individual learning (Slavin, 1996;Sweet and Michaelsen, 2007), on the effectiveness of new product development teams (Akgün et al, 2006), on new venture teams (Hill et al, 2014) and generally on organizational learning (Crossan et al, 1999). Hill et al (Hill et al, 2014) point out that team learning can be more effective than individual learning by bringing together a diversity of knowledge, experiences, and perspectives.…”

Contemporary entrepreneurship education (EE) is often based around a team-based challenge such as creating a new venture or solving a startup problem. A creative and professional solution to such a challenge requires individual and team efforts. At the level of the individual student, selfregulated learning (SRL) is proposed as an effective way to learn in entrepreneurial projects. At the level of a student team, team learning and psychological safety are hypothesized to contribute to group performance. Yet, there is little evidence to support these claims. I seek to add to the literature by demonstrating the effects of SRL, team learning, and psychological safety on various assessment types in the context of an entrepreneurship class. Data is collected from 194 students in 41 groups. Analysis is performed with hierarchical linear modeling. The results suggest that SRL is positively related to assessments at the individual level. Team learning and psychological safety are positively related to assessments at the group level. The results inform educators, students, and entrepreneurs about effective learning strategies.

“…Category C concerns the dissemination of information about the task and process knowledge to process users. Here, dissemination means the distribution and sharing of information among groups via various mediums, as defined by Akgu¨n et al (2006). Examples of information about the knowledge that might be sought include the subsequent use of knowledge generated by a task, and information about the experts for a task or sub process.…”

This paper describes the findings of an exploratory case study to investigate knowledge sharing problems in the new product development (NPD) process of a multi-national manufacturing company, and classifies the problems into three categories, i.e. (a) the lack of an explicit definition and prioritization of information about the knowledge used in the NPD process, (b) the challenges raised by, and lack of tools to support, knowledge sharing in a multilingual, multidisciplinary environment, and (c) the dissemination of information about the task and process knowledge to process users. An ontology-based methodology has been proposed, and a pilot study has been carried out to solve these problems. The pilot study includes the selection of suitable candidate tasks (or sub-processes) for the study, the elicitation of information about the selected task knowledge, the development of task knowledge ontology, and a mechanism to visualize and disseminate the ontology to process users. Early implementation and tests have shown that the proposed methodology may be used to facilitate knowledge sharing in the new product development process. The project was sponsored by a leading heating system manufacturer and further tests will be carried out with real industrial problems.
