- Abstract
Much existing work on new product development ( NPD) team integration takes an economically rational perspective, specifying appropriate systems, structures and interactions. Few studies however have explored the effects of politics on working relationships between technically trained managers ( TTMs; e.g., research and development managers) and marketing managers ( MMs) during NPD. Our results reveal that intra-team politics has positive and negative effects on TTM/ MM communication. This is important because communication positively influences collaboration and NPD success. Moreover, the effects of communication variables on these two outcome variables differ depending on whether one is a TTM or MM.
