Die zunehmende Technologie- und Produktkomplexität führen dazu, dass sich immer mehr Unternehmen für ihre F&E mit externen Organisationen vernetzen. So entstehen interorganisationale F&E-Projekte, welche temporäre Organisationen darstellen. Forschungsfragen zu diesen Projekten sind u.a. hinsichtlich der Praktiken und Verhaltensregeln offen. Über ein kulturbewusstes Projektmanagement können kooperations- und innovationsförderliche Praktiken und Verhaltensregeln aufgebaut werden, die für diese F&E-Projekte essenziell sind. So ist die Forschungsfrage dieses Beitrags, wie ein projektkulturbewusstes Management interorganisationaler F&E-Projekte erfolgen kann. Dafür wird auf Basis der theoretischen Grundlagen zum F&E-Projektmanagement, zu menschlichen Handlungssystemen und Ebenen der Zusammenarbeit, zu Kultur und Verhalten ein projektkulturbewusstes Management-Modell entwickelt. Das Modell umfasst zwei Teile. Im ersten Teil wird der Bereich aufgezeigt, in welchem sich die Projektkultur entwickelt. Im zweiten Teil wird aufgezeigt, wie die Faktoren für ein wahrscheinlich kooperatives und innovatives Verhalten innerhalb dieses Bereiches gestaltet werden sollten.
The basis for developing future products in the automotive industry is finding creative and innovative solutions. Ideas can be found by means of creativity methods that support product developers throughout the creative process. Product developers are provided with a variety of different and new methods. This leads to a “method jungle” in which it is difficult for product developers to find the most suitable path. The successful use of methods in product development goes hand in hand with the acceptance and implementation of the methods. Despite the added value, only a low use is observed in the development process. The field of Creativity Support Tools also offers a wide variety of different tools that support the creativity process. Although a chasm exists between the many CSTs that are developed and what creative practitioners actually use. Therefore, previous studies iteratively developed a user-centered tool called “IDEA” that tries to provide a tool that responds to users' needs. The question arises how the developed tool IDEA performs in “real life setting” regarding its UX and usability as well as the creativity method acceptance and level of mental workload.
Because of a high product and technology complexity, companies involve external partners in their research and development (R&D) processes. Interorganizational projects result, which represent temporary organizations. In these projects heterogenous organizations work closely together. Since project work is always teamwork, these projects face due to their characteristic’s major challenges on an organizational, relational, and content-related collaboration level. Thus, this paper raises the following research question: “How can a project team be supported on an organizational, relational, and content-related level in an interorganizational new product development setting?” To answer this research question, an explorative expert study was set up with two digital workshops using the interactive presentation tool Mentimeter. The results show that a cooperative innovation culture could support project teams on an organizational and relational level in the future in minimizing predominant problems. Moreover, it supports project teams for example in a functional communication. Furthermore, 18 values of a cooperative innovation culture result which are for example openness and transparency, risk and failure tolerance or respect. On a content-related level the results show that an adaptable tool which promotes creativity and collaboration method as well as content-related input support could be beneficial for problem-solving in an interorganizational new product development setting in the future. Because the tool can guide product developers through the process with suitable creativity and collaboration methods, can give content-related input and can enable interactive interchange on a table-top. Future research could mainly focus on the connection of the cooperative innovation culture and the tool since these potentially influence each other.
