Abstract

The purpose of the article was to increase understanding of the features of the activity of cross-functional teams of concurrent engineering and their role in the formation of the absorption ability of the company. In the course of this study, organizational, activity and functional approaches were used, as well as basic scientific methods—analysis, deduction and generalization. The article is devoted to concurrent engineering in cross-functional teams as an alternative to the traditional approach to the development of innovative products. The article analyses the essence and features of concurrent engineering in the context of cross-functional teams. The necessity of considering cross-functional teams from the point of view of the community determining identity, common interests in a team, its relative integrity is established. The importance of cross-functional teams in the development and development of the absorption ability of the company is shown. The article discusses the various coordination mechanisms operating in CFT. An analysis of the features of cross-functional teams allows us to determine that cross-functional teams are built on the principles of adhocracy. They have a significant impact on the develop the absorption ability of companies. However, they require a special management approach. The article presents directions for the further development of research, involving an empirical analysis of the influence of various coordination mechanisms on the knowledge sharing in an cross-functional team and the development of the company’s absorption ability. The results of the study will contribute to further studies of cross-functional teams and effective knowledge sharing.
