Award for paper DeGeest, De Vries and Van der Vegt on collaboration between teams

18 April 2016
Collaboration between teams

dr. David DeGeest , dr. Thom de Vries and prof. dr. Gerben van der Vegt of the department of HRM&OB of our Faculty won the ‘Outstanding Practical Implications Paper Award’ of the Organizational Behavior Division of the Academy of Management for their paper on collaboration between teams.

The researchers discovered that in order for collaboration between teams to be effective, managers of teams should make the team aware of the skills and abilities within the team and their relationship with other teams. In their paper titled “The Promise and Peril of Boundary Spanning for Team Outcomes: A Resource Allocation Perspective” the researchers monitored the performance of 72 cross-functional teams in a healthcare organization.

The Organizational Behavior Division of the Academy of Management choose the paper as having the best practical implications for management. The outstanding practical implications award recognizes papers with the most significant managerial implications for teams, leaders or organizations.
