摘要
Knowledge integration is important in collaborative new product development (Co-NPD). The research literature shows that the way actors create a shared understanding about the new to create products is a quality indicator of Co-NPD. This study investigates what factors influence the creation of a shared understanding in Co-NPD The results show factors at three different levels, the actor, project and company level. Additionally, there exist relationships across the factors. The related factors form four different types of interfaces The interfaces differ from each other since different types of collaborative mechanisms exist within them (C) 2010 Elsevier B V All rights reserved
