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

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a model of decision making in organizations that considers the roles scientists play for one another in the problem-solving process. The model breaks this process down into three stages: suggestion, proposal, and solution. Different colleague roles are highlighted at each stage. Through a series of studies, the author examines how the performance of these roles by supervisors, group members, and outsiders relates to the innovative performance of scientific groups. They find that innovative groups tend to work more as teams, with members finding one another more useful for performing technical roles. Supervisors of innovative groups are seen as behaving in a way consistent with Maierâs theory of âintegrative functionâ, where they receive information, facilitate communication, relay messages, and integrate ideas so that a single unified solution can occur. The author also cautions that a focus on group innovation should not come at the expense of other important aspects of scientific performance, such as steady, productive work or work especially useful to the organization.
