Two-path model of information sharing in new product development activities

Abstract

To explore the mechanism of information sharing in new product development activities, 180 participants from 60 teams were invited to attend a simulation experiment. The results showed that unique information and common information are indispensable in new product development activities, and both of them have significant impact on team decision-making, but unique information is more significant than common information. At the same time, they were found to function in team decision-making through team cognition. That is, transactive memory systems played a mediating role in the relationship between unique information sharing and team decision-making, and shared mental models played a mediating role in the relationship between common information sharing and team decision-making. The experiment also showed that the relationship between unique information sharing and transactive memory systems was strengthened, while the relationship between common information sharing and shared mental models did not change significantly in the context of team psychological safety. By revealing the mechanism of information sharing, this experiment provided a useful reference for improving the efficiency and quality of team decision-making in new product development activities.

The Influence Mechanism of Strategic Partnership on Enterprise Performance: Exploring the Chain Mediating Role of Information Sharing and Supply Chain Flexibility

“…In addition, high-level information sharing reduces the costs of acquiring external knowledge and improves the quality of acquired knowledge [74]. It also promotes the spread, transformation, absorption, and utilization of important information, such as heterogeneous knowledge, advanced technology, successful experience, and ideas [75], thereby accelerating enterprise knowledge updating, promoting knowledge spillover [76], and improving innovation ability. All of these factors help enterprises achieve good performance.…”

Does status stability benefit or hurt team creativity? the roles of status legitimacy and team conflict

“…The information processing process in which they engage is more comprehensive, and the flows of knowledge from top to bottom and from bottom to top are greater (Sligte, De Dreu, & Nijstad, 2011). The improvement of information flow and sharing inevitably lead to an improvement in task conflict (Luo et al, 2020). Due to this improvement in task conflict, team members obtain a deeper understanding of each other's abilities and personality characteristics, exhibit a higher degree of trust within the team, and have a deeper understanding of the task background and goals.…”

A method to construct key success factors in the cell therapy industry

“…Supervisors' support (EIR2). Sheng-Wei Luo (2010) proposed that the success and failure of an enterprise's product development lay not in whether the supporting resources were sufficient, but in whether the full support of senior managerial personnel had been won; full support of senior managerial personnel, together with good synergy, would ensure new product R&D success. 10 Thus, supervisors' support is a crucial factor in the development direction of a company's R&D.…”
