Sinossi

The book looks at how supervisors, peers, and outsiders influence innovation in scientific groups and what this means for practical teamwork.


Using a study conducted at a NASA research division, it compares high- and low-innovation groups to show how different colleague roles appear across problem‑solving stages. It highlights seven roles performed by the supervisor, group members, and outsiders, and explains how these roles relate to the group’s ability to generate and evaluate ideas.




  • How the supervisor’s orientation toward group members and outsiders affects problem solving.

  • Which roles are most useful for providing technical information, thinking through problems, and offering critical evaluation.

  • How high-innovation groups differ in teamwork, in who helps whom, and in reliance on outsiders.

  • Practical guidance on fostering collaborative problem solving without overusing external ideas.



Ideal for readers interested in organizational behavior, leadership in R&D, and teamwork in scientific settings.
