Over the course of the next 2 years we will investigate how team collaboration and processes of information exchange influence the development of successful innovative ideas. The purpose of the research is multifold: We will identify effective strategies and patterns of collaboration for developing innovative ideas, we aim to understand how team members can enhance collaborative activities and the knowledge sharing network of the team, and we will identify beneficial patterns of information sharing that contribute positively to idea development.
We will use a qualitative multi-method approach to obtain the answers to our research questions, including interviews with team members and leaders, survey research, observational data and document analyses.
