Multidisciplinary Team Research as an Innovation Engine in Knowledge-Based Transition Economies and Implication for Asian Countries -From the Perspective of the Science of Team Science

Abstract

This work identifies the key factors influencing the success of multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and trans-disciplinary R&D projects in transition economies by integrating knowledge management, organizational, inter/intra-collaboration (open-innovation), and leadership perspectives, while also addressing the perspective of the science of team science, which is an integrative approach to R&D. This is followed by providing the major sub-constructs of team science and policy implications to better facilitate multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary R&D projects in knowledge-based transition economies.

Comparing Twitter and YouTube networks in information diffusion: The case of the “Occupy Wall Street” movement

“…This implies that the user successfully played a role not only as a key informant in the movement but also as a broker of the issue, forming bridges between other key clusters in the network. Given the profound value of a broker's characteristics in the process of information diffusion, the official OWS Twitter organization functioned as a facilitator of collaboration by translating, interpreting, and moderating protest information (Lee, 2013).…”

Five innovation energy mechanisms need strategic and operational HRM involvement—An abductive case study at Saxion University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands

“…They quoted one or more of the four stages of Dorenbosch et al [22] 113 times. The most quotes (40) involved the promotion stage. This is not surprising, as some of their colleagues must break down their work into operational teaching programs and have shown resistance against the change process, as we will discuss in the next sections.…”

Innovation energy: The stimulus converting employees' innovation properties into innovative work behaviour

“…Innovative multidisciplinary teamwork. The positive effect of multidisciplinary teamwork on innovation is well known in the literature (Lee, 2013;West et al, 2004). Lee (2013) stated in this context that trans-and multidisciplinary research programmes need small autonomous teams that must have a high degree of freedom.…”

“…The positive effect of multidisciplinary teamwork on innovation is well known in the literature (Lee, 2013;West et al, 2004). Lee (2013) stated in this context that trans-and multidisciplinary research programmes need small autonomous teams that must have a high degree of freedom. He concluded that a transformational leader has a major role to play in aligning individual and team innovation with the strategic goals of the organization to avoid disappointment and frustration.…”
