The influence of deliberations on learning in new product development teams
Article Abstract:
The management and design of deliberations affect the learning process in new product development teams. This learning process is crucial because it allows organizational members to establish a knowledge base that can be used in problem solving and decision making. Analysis of survey data reveals four factors which obstruct knowledge development. These are knowledge sharing and planning barriers, knowledge frame of reference barriers, knowledge retention and procedural barriers and knowledge acquisition barriers. Better management and design of communication patterns among new product development teams can encourage the learning process.

Successful competitive and technology strategies in dynamic and stable product technology environments
Article Abstract:
Different competitive and technology strategies in environments with different levels of product technology dynamism have an impact on the success of business units. It is indicated that competitive and technology strategies employed by successful business units in dynamic product technology environments differ from strategies used by either less successful business units in similar environments or successful business units in stable product technology environments. This implication emphasizes that matching strategy with environment is necessary for success.

Acquiring technological competencies through inter-organizational collaboration: an organizational learning perspective
Article Abstract:
A general model is proposed for evaluating the relationship between organizational learning, inter-organizational collaboration and technological competency in the industrial sector. The model is based on the 'learning gap' theory and capable of addressing several managerial issues. Application of the proposed model shows that a strong relationship exists between attributes of the technology, the method of collaboration and organizational learning.
