Zusammenfassung

Teams sind integraler Bestandteil von Forschungs- und Entwicklungsaufgaben (F&E) geworden (Griffin, 1997; McDonough, 2000; Sarin & Mahajan, 2001; Sarin & McDermott, 2003; Leenders et al., 2007; Sarin & O’Connor, 2009; Edmondson & Nembhard, 2009; Henttonen, 2010), so dass deren kreative Performance unzweifelhaft eines der Hauptbestandteile ist, die über das Überleben einer Firma in einer wettbewerbsorientierten Geschäftswelt entscheiden. Kreative F&E-Teams bilden oft das Fundament der individuellen Wettbewerbsposition, nicht zuletzt deshalb, da Design, Entwicklung, Marketing und der Vertrieb von Produkten und Dienstleistungen genau wie deren Herstellung den Kern einer jeden Geschäftstätigkeit bildet (Davis & Scase, 2000). Ein halbes Jahrhundert der Teamwork-Forschung hat ergeben, dass gut funktionierende Teams ein entscheidender Baustein für den Erfolg von Unternehmen sind (Edmondson & Nembhard, 2009) und nicht automatisch gegeben sind (z.B., Hoegl & Gemünden, 2001).
