KNOWLEDGE INTEGRATION IN INTEGRATED PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT: THE ROLE OF TEAM VISION, MUTUAL TRUST, AND MUTUAL INFLUENCE ON SHARED KNOWLEDGE IN PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT PERFORMANCE

摘要

A clear understanding of the components of knowledge integration and their outcomes in product development may provide an important missing link in integrated product development (IPD) research. The first objective of this study is the development of a conceptual model of knowledge integration. The second objective is to develop valid and reliable instruments of four determinants of knowledge integration (team vision, mutual trust, mutual influence, and shared knowledge) and product development performance outcomes (process outcomes and product outcomes).
