New product development (NPD) speed has become increasingly important for managing innovation in fast-changing business environments. In this work, we question the implicit assumption that speed has a linear relationship with success from the perspectives of time-compression diseconomies and...

We examined the affect of leader personality on new product development (NPD) project performance under differing conditions of uncertainty. Our model posits teamwork as a mediating variable between leader personality and NPD performance.We hypothesized that the personality variable of openness...

The paper centers on the optimal team member personal style for new product development success. Although the role of personality in team performance is not well understood, research suggests that personality plays a critical role in the effective performance of teams. Personality variables...

With its high degree of autonomy, dedication, and co-location, an autonomous team as an emerging tool for new product development (NPD) has more freedom and stronger capabilities to be innovative and entrepreneurial. However, such teams are not a panacea, and implementing them can be costly and...

An autonomous team is an emerging tool for new product development (NPD). With its high degree of autonomy, independence, leadership, dedication, and co-location, the team has more freedom and stronger capabilities to be innovative and entrepreneurial. Several anecdotal cases suggest that...

Operations management researchers have frequently suggested that autonomy can motivate teams to actively and flexibly adapt to fast-changing environments, fostering innovation and creative problem solving. However, empirical studies have not consistently supported the benefits of team autonomy....

Learning in new‐product development teams is cited as being vital in today's competitive, uncertain, and turbulent environments. However, studies on accelerated learning in product‐development teams are, surprisingly, lacking. This study proposes a model for accelerated team learning in...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the nomological relations among market‐orientation, learning‐orientation and innovativeness in medium‐sized business (SMEs) of developing countries. Design/methodology/approach – The study involves a questionnaire‐based survey of...
