When Critical Knowledge Is Most Critical: Centralization in Knowledge-Intensive Teams

Siyuan Huang

Jonathon N. Cummings

Knowledge-intensive teams rely on the task-relevant knowledge held by members to perform effectively. In this article, we focus on critical knowledge, defined as the most influential information, know-how, or feedback that contributes directly to task outcomes. From a social network perspective, the critical knowledge structure in a team can be defined by who shares critical knowledge with whom. In a highly centralized critical knowledge structure, everyone shares critical knowledge with a single person on the team. Alternatively, in a highly decentralized critical knowledge structure, critical knowledge is shared evenly across members of the team. Drawing from small group research and network theory, we theorize about critical knowledge structures in teams and make hypotheses regarding the consequences of centralized critical knowledge structures for executive-rated team performance. Data analyses from a field study of 177 teams in a multinational organization indicate support for our theory that centralized critical knowledge structures are negatively related to executive-rated team performance. Furthermore, the negative relationship is exacerbated when (a) business unit diversity on the team is greater, and (b) critical knowledge shared in the team is exploratory rather than exploitative.

Special Pedagogy Issue

2011-10-10T17:12:00.000-07:00

Call for Papers -- Pedagogy Special Issue

Have you developed innovative methods for teaching a course (undergraduate or graduate) on small groups? Small Group Research is planning a special issue containing articles describing such methods and discussing some of the pedagogical issues that can arise in courses of this sort. Note that this issue is not about the use of small groups in courses on other topics. Instead, its focus is on courses about small groups; the methods used to teach such courses might or might not involve group activities.

Although we welcome all submissions, we are especially eager to see empirical papers that include some assessment of how effective your methods were to teaching students about groups.

If you are interested in publishing an article in this special issue, then the first step is to send a brief summary (no more than five pages long, typewritten and double-spaced) to Dr. Richard Moreland, Department of Psychology, 3103 Sennott Square, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA. 15260. All summaries should be sent no later than December 31st, 2011. Dr. Moreland will read each summary and identify (in consultation with other members of the journal’s editorial staff) the best submissions. He will then work with the authors of those submissions to produce the articles themselves, which should be ready for publication in early 2013. The final articles may range in length from 20 to 35 pages.

If you have any questions about the special issue, then please feel free to contact Dr. Moreland at cslewis@pitt.edu.

Juries are expensive groups

2011-06-27T18:09:00.000-07:00

Public attention is turned to the Casey Anthrony jury case. By one estimate, the jury costs the State of Florida $361,000. But this figure only reflects what it costs the state to sequester the jury.

Who's on the jury. Here's a snapshot description of each juror.

If a judge asked for your advice about changes to a jury's process of decision making, what advice would you give?

June 2011 Small Group Research--hot off the press

2011-05-09T17:29:00.000-07:00

The June 2011 issue of SGR is available. There are two important reasons to read this issue. First, this issue presents articles that are developed from research presented at the 2010 INGRoup conference. Second, a new point/counterpoint is in this issue. Point/Counterpoint provides two perspectives on issues salient to group and team researchers. Joe Bonito and Bob Sanders are for the collection of behavioral data, whereas Katherine Reynolds identifies the limitations of behavioral data. What's your perspective?

Team photos

2011-05-02T17:55:00.000-07:00

Once in a while, I look for photos of teams and groups--knowing that I won't see group process, but that I'll see momentary glimpses of group process. Today, I did a search for "team" on the White House Flickr page and came up with these. How would you characterize these groups?

Team Science Resource

The National Cancer Institute has rolled out its Team Science Tookit. Be sure to take a look at this resource and consider signing up for the Expert Directory.

April 2011 Small Group Research Issue

2011-04-05T07:15:00.000-07:00

SGR's April issue is available. Topics in this issue: conflict, leadership, norms, and support group attendance. If you or your students need citations about any group process--Small Group Research is the place to look. SGR is international and interdisciplinary to ensure that we are your source for information on groups and teams.

Team and group competencies?

2011-03-28T16:29:00.000-07:00

Since teams and groups dominate our personal and professional lives--should educational institutions be teaching group and skills earlier? We don't mean at what age should children work in groups and teams--we mean at what age should formal instruction about how to work in groups and teams begin?

At what age do you believe a team/group curriculum should be introduced? Pre-school? Elementary school? Middle school? High school? Why is it that, generally, the first formal instruction students have about groups and teams is in college?

Emergency teams

2011-03-14T16:17:00.000-07:00

The tsunami in Japan has the world focused on teams that must react to crises (i.e., emergency relief teams). Group and team research is generally silent on teams in this context. Emergency teams scale from the neighborhood to widespread institutionalized relief efforts. While the nature of their response efforts makes it likely impossible to observe these teams in action, group and team scholars could investigate how these teams train and prepare themselves.

Groupthink alive!

2011-02-27T15:36:00.000-08:00

When others ask why you study or are interested in group dynamics--share this story from the New York Times. Really smart people do need help in managing and facilitating groups and teams.

Small Group Research publishes articles online first

2011-02-21T17:18:00.000-08:00

It's become customary in academic publishing to post articles on the journal's website before they are assigned to volumes and issues. SAGE calls this OnlineFirst, and Small Group Research's website regularly lists these. In essence, articles become part of the scholarly conversation quicker; thus, scholars can cite these articles earlier. Using APA reference style, these articles are still in press, but they have been assigned doi numbers.

Wonder what a doi number is? It's a method used to identify digital content--in many ways the same as a social security or permanent identification number . . . but in this case, for an article rather than people. doi numbers (notice that I didn't capitalize it) also make finding content online so much easier. Just Google the doi.

In using APA 6th, if an article has a doi number, it should be included as the last part of the reference entry--like this:

Cleveland, C., Blascovich, J., Gangi, C., & Finez, L. (2010). When good teammates are bad: Physiological threat on recently formed teams. Small Group Research, 42, 3-31. doi:10.1177/1046496410386245

Notice (a) doi is lowercase, (b) a colon follows doi, and (c) there is no space after the colon. Finally, do not place a period after the doi.

Creative teams

2011-02-14T16:28:00.000-08:00

It's award show season--and obviously vocal groups like Lady Antebellum who took home honors at the Grammys and production teams that win honors at the Golden Globes are goal directed groups of interdependent members. But we know little about how these creative groups work. Small Group Research has published articles on string quartets. What keeps group scholars away from these investigations? Interest? Access? Or relevance to task teams? What do you think?

Team Science

2011-02-07T16:43:00.000-08:00

Team Science has now made the Wall Street Journal. Do group/team scholars have adequate theories to address innovation in teams?

February 2011 issue now available!

2011-01-31T18:07:00.000-08:00

The lead article in the February 2011 issue of Small Group Research, "When Good Teammates Are Bad: Physiological Threat on Recently Formed Teams," by Christena Cleveland, Jim Blascovich, Cynthia Gangi, and Lucie Finez asks and answers questions about the influence of superior performers in groups. Are you a superior performer? What influence do you believe you have in a group or team?

Group and Team Research Agenda for 2011

2011-01-17T16:44:00.000-08:00

It's a new year. If you had the opportunity to set the research agenda for group and team research what would you include?

More research on group process?
Include some temporal aspect into research designs?
More focus on diversity?
More research on groups and teams in the field?

A stressful time of year for groups and teams?

2010-12-06T16:38:00.000-08:00

The time period between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day seem to have more than their fair share of social commitments. Many people report that these holiday and end-of-year functions are stressful. Is that stress also visible in the groups and teams of which you are a member? If so, how does your group or team deal with the stress? If not, what does your group or team do to minimize these external stressors?

Is group/team research ready for TED?

2010-11-29T08:16:00.000-08:00

The TED conferences are devoted to "ideas worth spreading" in technology, engineering, and design. But some social scientists have been included as its scope has broadened. TED presenters give very short presentations to live and simulcast audiences. Who would you nominate to talk about what group/team topic? Is our research community ready to be on TED?

Families as groups

2010-11-22T16:09:00.000-08:00

Are families groups? What characteristics make them groups (or not)? I often wonder if adult group behavior is formed (at least partially) by how their family (or other primary group) includes or excludes them.

Some families have family meetings. Lisa Sparks, Chapman University, is well known for her research on family decision making. How is what she describes similar to or different from decision making in other group contexts?

Is interdisciplinary research team research?

2010-11-08T15:38:00.000-08:00

Just back from a NSF workshop on interdisciplinary research. While I understand that a few very talented individuals have sufficient interdisciplinary expertise to create and produce interdisciplinary research, it would seem to me that--almost by default--interdisciplinary research is team research. Here's what NIH describes and NSF describes as interdisciplinary research. What do you think?

What would it take?

2010-11-01T07:16:00.000-07:00

The discoveries of physical and medical scientists regularly make the news. What type of discovery would it take from group and team scholars to make the headlines?

World Series Baseball--

2010-10-25T18:00:00.000-07:00

--got me to wondering, have group or team scholars compared the groupiness or interdependence of sports teams across, for example, baseball, football, and soccer? Small Group Research has published articles about athletes' group-level satisfaction and interdependence . . . but it seems to me that sports teams would be appropriate contexts to really explicate different types of interdepencies among group members. Moreover, interdependencies would be contextually bound (as they are often rule based) and not part of idiosyncratic simulated tasks. How might such a research project be designed? What could it contribute to understanding group behavior?

Chilean miners

2010-10-18T17:17:00.000-07:00

From the beginning to the end, the trapped Chilean miners were a field study of group cohesion. Few groups achieve the degree of cohesion evidenced by these miners. Congratulations to the miners and all of those who helped this group escape from the collapsed mine.

Team Awards

2010-09-27T17:17:00.000-07:00

The American Association for Cancer Research gives an annual Team Science Award. So does the US Air Force, and the American Chemical Society. Do you know of other organizations or associations that give awards for working in teams? Should group and team scholars be studying these teams that have been recognized for their excellence? How might such a study be designed?

Children in groups

2010-09-20T16:23:00.000-07:00

In searching the literature recently for research on children in groups, I was frustrated that children are rarely studied for their group experiences. Why is that? Difficulty in getting IRB approval? Would seem like kids in groups are abundant (e.g,. sports teams, girl/boy scouts, classroom groups, friendship groups, church camps). Or do group scholars believe that groups of children are different than groups of adults? I think it would be fascinating to study children's development of group skills as they move from childhood into adolescence into adulthood.

Your thoughts?

What advice do you give?

2010-09-14T16:40:00.000-07:00

As a group researcher, I'm often asked for advice. Here's what I often suggest--what about you?

Problem: Our meetings are terrible.
Advice: Have a clear agenda with action items. Items for discussion-only come next. Share informational items via email not at the meeting.

Problem: One person talks all of the time, not letting others have the floor.
Advice: Consider your behavior--what are you doing that allows this person to control everything?

What would group scholars recommend?

2010-08-25T15:58:00.000-07:00

Thirty-three miners are trapped in a collapsed mine in Chile. That government has turned to NASA for advice about how to keep the miners physically and mentally fit. What would group scholars recommend?

doi numbers

2010-08-19T16:02:00.000-07:00

As we move into APA 6th and the use of doi numbers, several authors have asked questions about their utility. Here's the bes source: http://www.doi.org/

While it will take some getting used to doi numbers--the near future benefits are significant. In the not too far future, reference sections of journal articles will be be linked to references by doi numbers.

Also, try this if you have a doi number and want to find the original source: http://dx.doi.org/

SGR August 2010 -- special issue on jury interaction

2010-08-09T18:44:00.000-07:00

The five articles in this special issue, "Investigating Jury Deliberations," along with the introduction and final synthesis, paint a provocative picture of the communicative practices of a death penalty jury. Each set of authors use a different method to investigate the paths of the jury's two decisions (guilt or innocence; penalty). As pointed out by these authors, the final decision in both deliberations is complicated and thorny.

Military Teams

2010-07-05T16:54:00.000-07:00

The change in command in Afghanistan to General Petreus made me think about leadership changes in groups and teams. Often, group and team scholars study leadership as being constant in a group. What happens when leadership is passed to someone else--especially by external stakeholders? This is common in military groups as well as traditional organizational teams. How does this change in leadership role influence what happens in the group?

Small Group Manuscripts and APA 6th

2010-06-24T16:35:00.000-07:00

All manuscript submissions to Small Group Research should be in APA 6th. Of important note are two issues:

1. include doi numbers for all journal articles when the doi is available.
2. do not place 2 spaces after sentence ending punctuation.

Some helpful APA 6th websites:

We would be very interested in reviewing essays that explore the intersection of groups and teams with this important societal and environmental event.

Special Issue Call for Proposals

2010-05-29T14:46:00.000-07:00

Call for Paper Proposals

Special Issue of Small Group Research
Where is the Team in Team Science?

Special Issue Editors
Joann Keyton, North Carolina State University
Holly Falk-Krzesinski, Northwestern University
Stephen Fiore, University of Central Florida

Small Group Research invites manuscripts for a special issue titled Where is the Team in Team Science to be published in February 2012. In addition to publishing work currently under way or recently completed, our goal is to stimulate research on team science. As such, this special issue features an extended editorial timeline that will allow authors to submit proposals for research that will be completed during the timeline associated with the special issue.

By asking authors to consider the question, “Where is the team in team science?” the special issue editors seek empirical papers that offer answers to the following issues:

• At what level of analysis can the process and behaviors of team science be investigated?
• What approaches/strategies can be used to assess processes and outcomes of team science, considering the perspective of multiple stakeholders?
• What multi-level approaches are effective for the study of team science?
• How does a particular methodology help accelerate our understanding of how to improve team science?
• What social and behavioral disciplinary knowledge can inform the study of team science?
• What point/counterpoint issues are natural tensions in studying the teams for which innovation in science is their outcome?

We encourage the submission of work from a range of theoretical, methodological, and disciplinary perspectives and both qualitative and quantitative approaches are welcome. Although it is not a requirement, the editors are particularly interested in publishing manuscripts authored by cross-disciplinary teams or those that reflect multi-, inter-, or transdisciplinary perspectives.

Given the importance of disseminating ideas and findings relevant to understanding and improving team science, we welcome manuscripts presented at brief research reports (5 to 10 pages) as well as more traditional length (30 pages).

Timeline:
• Interested authors should submit proposals no longer than 750 words by August 1, 2010.
• Notification to authors by November 1, 2010
• Authors must submit complete manuscripts for consideration no later than June 1, 2011.
• Review by editors and publication revisions completed by September 1, 2011
• Publication of manuscripts February 1, 2012

Proposals should be submitted to Joann Keyton, jkeyton@ncsu.edu. Authors submitting manuscripts to the journal should not simultaneously submit them to another journal, nor should they submit manuscripts that have been published elsewhere in substantially similar form or with substantially similar content. Authors in doubt about what constitutes prior publication should consult one of the co-editors. Submission of a manuscript implies commitment to publish in the journal. SGR uses APA (6th edition) style and formatting.

We strongly encourage potential authors to contact us as at any time to discuss an idea or concept prior to any deadline. E-mails: Joann Keyton, jkeyton@ncsu.edu; Holly Falk-Krzesinski, h-falk@northwestern.edu; Steve Fiore, sfiore@ist.ucf.edu

Do you have an interest in Team Science?

2010-05-17T17:59:00.000-07:00

Despite the likelihood to remember the names of scientists that are attributed to innovations (for example, Einstein, Ben Franklin), science is often conducted by a team. SGR welcomes submissions that address team science. We'll have a special issue call for proposals on this topic very soon. Check back here.

Are you APA ready?

2010-05-11T16:56:00.000-07:00

Like many other journals, SGR is changing to APA 6th style. Beginning with the February 2011 issue, this style will be used. A couple of things to remember:

1. doi numbers will be required for journal articles. If you retrieve your articles online, a doi is required. (Why? It helps readers quickly and accurately find the article you're citing). The doi number is typically found on the first page of a journal article (top or bottom). Here's an example:

Moreland, R. L. (2010). Are dyads really groups? Small Group Research, 41, 251-267. doi:10.1177/1046496409358618

2. the first printing of the APA 6th manual had errors. Be sure to get a 2nd printing copy or look online for websites that explain the printing errors in the 1st printing.

3. headings and subheadings have changed.
