“…Another aspect of bridging disciplinary barriers is knowledge convergence that enables mutual agreements between participants to take place and create shared understanding (Feast, 2012). This has also been emphasised in the study of Hu et al (2017), who suggest that more frequent knowledge sharing behaviour together with the complex sharing network lead to faster mindset shifting from one discipline to another. Mcdonnell (2009) defines shared understanding to be created through conversation during the design negotiations.…”

“…buildings, backpack, car accessory for industrial or product design objective. In one study, Hu et al (2017) investigate how can the mindset of participants switch from industrial thinking to service thinking. They find that the mindset shifting process is significantly influenced by communication and interactions between the participants.…”

“…The laboratory study, albeit with simulated multidisciplinary role-playing, would still be heavily biased due to homogeneous designers' perspectives of all team members. Similarly, the sample from the study of Hu et al (2017), defined as multidisciplinary, employ graduate students from Industrial Design, Visual Communication Design, Furniture Design and Mechanical Design, Automation -the majority of which is still within the design discipline. One of the most common instances, where multidisciplinary collaboration is inevitable, occur when the end-user is involved.…”

“…Similarly, the importance of understanding the communication and design jargon issues was advocated by D'Souza and Reza (2017). Hu et al (2017) define different jargon as unique, specialised work languages together with different past experiences, work patterns, quality and success perception, organisational priorities, and technical constraints. High constructive interactions foster productive creation of good ideas, promote idea integration and cobuilding.…”

In this paper, we review empirical studies of multidisciplinary collaboration in design and innovation activities. From 200 papers, we selected 17 for a meta-synthesis review. When revisited and compared, they present common themes and dichotomy in findings. This literature review discusses such diversity, offering a methodological critique of unclear areas. Four emerged themes were identified: (1) Knowledge diversity, (2) Trust, (3) Barrier and (4) Jargon and communication, providing perspectives for further research on how online collaboration will influence multidisciplinary team processes.

“…In fact, while solving complex engineering design problems, all design team participants cross knowledge boundaries and synthesize practices from each other's disciplines [65]. It was also highlighted that the act of more frequent design knowledge interactions leads to a faster shift in mindset between the knowledge from different design disciplines [66].…”

Currently, technological advances and developments are leading to the rapid emergence of high-end technology products, accompanied by a variety of customer requirements, which will lead to engineering system design projects becoming more complex. Therefore, complex engineering design projects require designers with multidisciplinary backgrounds who can work together and approach complex problems. However, when company supervisors assign designers with interdisciplinary knowledge to complex projects, the knowledge gap of each discipline between designers will cause communication conflicts, which directly affects the efficiency of team communication and complex project execution. Therefore, it is very important for the design company to select a portfolio of designers with efficient interdisciplinary background communication. Thus, the main objective of our research is to propose a method to support company supervisors and their approach to the design team selection problem for complex engineering system design projects with consideration of the project’s required basic technical competence, personal competence, and multidisciplinary knowledge communication between the designers. The proposed method can help design firms to select the best multidisciplinary collaborative design team for complex engineering system design projects.
