Abstract

Today, the product innovation team is used widely, but the performance is not satisfying. This study makes the four dimensions of enterprise organizational structure characteristics as explanatory variables, the team level of knowledge integration capabilities as mediated variable, builds a cross-level conceptual model about performance of the product innovation team, and uses hierarchical linear model to analyze cross-level survey data on 326 product innovation team of 83 manufacturing enterprises. We find that every dimension of organizational structure characteristics has cross-level effect on performance of the product innovation team; knowledge integration capabilities of team level have part mediated effect between centralized or flexible organizational structure and performance of the product innovation team. In the flat degree and product innovation team performance has full mediated effect, the mediated effect between the degree of standardization and product innovation team performance is not significant.
