背景资料:为了满足顾客的情感和物质需求,工业设计需要与其他专业领域如工程、市场营销等进行合作,本研究的重点是探讨可能的条件,以尽量减少冲突的影响,使更多的创造性合作,在设计师-工程师团队。研究方法:该研究应用Goldschmidts的Linkograghy和Shannon的熵理论来分析工业设计师和工程师的团队合作会议,并调查创造性合作的可能条件。共五个团队合作会议观察,记录和转录后。分析每个成绩单以绘制链接图,测量熵,并根据测量结果对每个会话进行宏观/微观观察和讨论。结果如下:对于测量结果,计算每个会话的链接指数(LI)、后向链接(BL)熵、前向链接(FL)熵、水平链接(HL)熵和总熵的值。在此基础上,找出每一环节的关键动作,并分析和讨论它们是如何联系和影响其他动作的,以及为什么。作为宏观结果之一,会话5在被认为是最具创造性的五个会话中显示出最高的熵。研究表明,领导者在团队中的存在以及领导者的中介和导向作用影响着团队的动力和创造力。结论:研究表明,当设计师和工程师试图定义和理解彼此的术语时,当他们试图为冲突的价值观找到解决方案时,当他们由具有不同工作经验长度的成员组成时,以及当有一个领导者和她/他的强有力的领导力导致团队冲突的情况得到解决时,设计师和工程师团队的创造力会增强。
Background : To satisfy the customers’ emotional as well as material desires, industrial design requires collaborative activities with other areas of profession such as engineering, marketing and so on. The focus of this study is to investigate possible conditions to minimize the conflicting impacts so as to allow more creative collaborations in designer-engineer teamwork. Methods : The study applied Goldschmidts’ Linkograghy with Shannon’s Entropy Theory to analyze the teamwork sessions of industrial designers and engineers, and to investigate possible conditions for creative collaborations. Total of five teamwork sessions were observed, recorded and transcribed afterwards. Each transcript was analyzed to draw the linkograph, to measure entropy and to carry out macro/microscopic observations and discussions of each session based on the measurements. Results : As for the result of measurement, the values of Link Index(LI), Back Link(BL) Entropy, Forward Link(FL) Entropy, Horizon Link(HL) Entropy, and Total Entropy were calculated for each session. Critical Moves of each session were found based on LI, and analyzed and discussed how they relate and influence other moves and why. As one of the macroscopic results, session 5 has shown the highest entropy among five sessions taken to be the most creative session. It is interpreted that the existence of the leader in the team and intermediate and directional role of the leader influenced the team dynamics and creativity. Conclusion : The study has shown that the creativity of designer and engineer teamwork enhances when they try to define and understand each others’ terminology, when they try to find solutions for colliding values, when they are composed of members with diverse lengths of work experience, and when there is a leader and her/his strong leadership which leads the team’s conflicting situation to be settled.
