The Impact of Team Heterogeneity on Team Performance of Knowledge-Based Multinationals Under the Belt & Road Initiative

Abstract

Under the background of the Belt & Road, companies are turning their attention to overseas markets, and the strategic goals of multinational corporations are gradually turning into knowledge competition. The knowledge-based enterprise team has the characteristics of high degree of knowledge integration and ability aggregation, which is of great significance to improve team performance and bring differentiated competitive advantages. The members of the knowledge-based team have different personalities, rich skills, and different social attributes, thus forming functional departments with distinctive characteristics and clear division of labor. How to effectively integrate these people and create a united, complementary and efficient knowledge-based team is the basis for the company to achieve performance. Therefore, this paper focuses on the impact of knowledge team heterogeneity on team performance.
