Zusammenfassung

Die Art und Weise, wie sich die Mitglieder in Innovationsteams begegnen, austauschen und zusammenarbeiten, wird in hohem Maß durch das Teamdesign und Rahmenbedingungen bestimmt. Die Vorteile altersdiverser Teams liegen in einer höheren Verfügbarkeit von unterschiedlichem Wissen. Durch die Kombination und Integration verschiedener Ansichten, Interpretationen, Entscheidungsregeln und mentaler Modelle kann der Erfolg von Teamarbeit gesteigert werden. Weil Altersunterschiede aber auch dazu beitragen können, die sozialen Prozesse innerhalb der Teams zu verschlechtern, zeigen wir kritische Bedingungen für die Zusammenarbeit in solchen Teams auf. Die Ergebnisse basieren auf einer Befragung von Innovationsprojekten aus 290 Unternehmen des Verarbeitenden Gewerbes.
