“…Besides, stock price fluctuations and financial distress for listed companies directly affect innovation activities and may lead the failure of innovation activities [19]. Enterprise should adopt a dual-channel perspective concerning improving capacity of innovation [20]. Furthermore, it is difficult for a company that acquires all the technologies it needs through independent innovation.…”

“…Prior studies confirm that cognitive diversity could have a positive impact on organizational performance, especially in strategic planning and technology [27,28]. Cognitive diversity is defined as the difference in skills, thinking styles, knowledge, and preferences held by the TMT members [20], and reflects on the ability and level of information exchange and knowledge integration [29]. According to the upper-echelons theory, past experiences from TMT members may have impacts on cognition and understanding, which finally reflect on strategic decisions and technological choice by TMT members [4,30].…”

Environmental technology is the core power for environmental protection enterprise. Top management team (TMT) has an important impact on developing direction of environmental technology. In this paper, environmental protection enterprises in China are selected as samples to examine that how does cognitive diversity of TMT affect the directions of environmental technology. Environmental technology is divided into acquisition of environmental patent and independent environmental innovation. It finds that cognitive diversity has positive impacts on acquisition of environmental patent and independent environmental innovation. It also shows that environmental protection enterprise develops new environmental technology through acquisition of environmental patent. We further explore the role of ability of information identification on environmental technology. The results demonstrate that there is a promotional effect of cognitive diversity on acquisition of environmental patent and independent environmental innovation by promoting ability of information identification. Finally, the results of heterogeneity analysis show that cognitive diversity in those environmental protection enterprises with high-level technology has a significant effect on independent environmental innovation. However, for those enterprises who has no high-level technology, cognitive diversity of TMT plays a positive role on acquisition of environmental patent through ability of information identification.

“…Research has also suggested that the heterogeneity of TMTs in the service process has an impact on the choice of strategy. TMT’s cognitive diversity can better manage contradiction in business operations ( Kanchanabha and Badir, 2021 ), formulate more reasonable strategies, and maintain consistent growth in business performance ( Naranjo-Gil et al, 2008 ).…”

Traditionally, enterprises have subscribed to the belief that top management team (TMT) human capital is of great influence to a specific entity. While long being a question of interest in the field of management, the extant literature rarely discusses the impact of TMT human capital on sustainable business growth. By examining data obtained from 535 TMT members of private enterprises in Zhejiang Province PRC, and investigate the mediating effect of decision-making quality as well as the moderating effect of founder characteristics, we analyze the positive operating mechanisms of TMT human capital on sustainable business growth. Interestingly, the single most striking observation to emerge from the empirical investigation was: (1) TMT human capital has a significant positive impact on sustainable business growth; (2) decision-making quality fully mediates the relationship between TMT human capital and sustainable business growth; and (3) the more open-minded the founders, the stronger the mediating effect of decision-making quality in the relationship between TMT human capital and sustainable business growth. This research has expanded the perspective and scope of the research on TMT human capital, and its practical usage is discussed.

“…Cognitive diversity provides the academic research team with a pool of knowledge resources that may help to deal with scientific problems, which requires a more creative view. Therefore, cognitive diversity influences the resources of creativity, all of which have a positive effect on the team’s creativity ( Kanchanabha and Badir, 2021 ). It shows that team deep-level diversity is associated with fewer positive emergent states and positive team processes and more team conflict.…”

The Development and Validation of a Cognitive Diversity Scale for Chinese Academic Research Teams

et al. 2021

Cognitive diversity is an important concept stemming from western management research in the 1990s. With the rapid development of science and technology, there is a growing interest in the composition of an academic research team, such as team diversity. However, there is no tool available for measuring team cognitive diversity (TCD) for academic research teams. Based on Van der Vegt’s theoretical model of TCD, an Academic Research Team Cognitive Diversity Scale (ATCDS) is developed and validated for an academic research team in our research with two studies (N=737). In Study One, in-depth interviews and panel discussions were conducted to generate a preliminary questionnaire. In Study Two, the questionnaire was administered among academic research teams. Exploratory factor analysis revealed four factors regarding cognitive diversity: (1) the way of thinking, (2) knowledge and skills, (3) the view of the world, and (4) beliefs about what is right and wrong. The factor structure was further validated by confirmatory factor analysis. Moreover, correlation and regression analyses showed that academic research TCD was positively related to team creativity (r =0.306, p <0.01) and performance (r =0.204, p <0.10). To sum up, our newly developed 15-item ATCDS is sufficiently reliable and valid to be used for understanding cognitive diversity among academic research teams.
