Managing cycles in teams and networks: Diagnose, intervention and evaluation (A08)

• Subject Area: Production Systems, Operations Management, Quality Management and Factory Planning ; Communication Sciences
• Term: from 2012 to 2019
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 33237764

Innovations of PSS require the collaboration of agents in teams and complex networks, which need to effectively manage cyclic events in their work environment (e.g., technological innovations) as well as cyclic processes during the teamwork itself (e.g., reoccurring coordination activities). The goal of the funding period 3 is to develop approaches for organizational development (OD) based on the results of funding period 2, which are aimed at enhancing the capacity of teams and networks to manage these cycles. The OD-approaches will be grounded in scientific results on the one hand and applicable in practice on the other hand. The psychological approaches of subproject A08 will be linked to technical and sociotechnical aspects through collaborations within the SFB 768.
