Abstract

Most high-technology firms expect cross-functional new product teams to accelerate product innovation, increase creativity, and cut costs. However, the mere formation of teams seldom produces such results. This article reports findings from a recent study of new product development processes in 10 high-technology firms and highlights the actions of senior management and team leaders that are associated with highly collaborative new product teamwork.
