From team learning to team effectiveness: Testing whether learning at the team level is more than just the sum of the parts

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.

Design/methodology/approach

This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Findings

The findings reported suggest that management should create a healthy organizational climate that encourages team members to voice their views, constructively disagree and then to modify their collective views to generate joint visions of how to progress the work assigned to the team. Satisfaction with teamwork would thereby be enhanced and the effectiveness of the team improved.

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
