建筑、工程和施工（AEC）行业的固有特性要求来自不同组织和学科的专家为实现共同的项目目标而进行协作。然而，很难将来自不同学科、背景和组织的个人联系起来，并有效地整合他们的知识。社会网络的方法解决一体化和知识流动的动态。然而，存在关于网络拓扑（即， 与节点、纽带、边界及其在网络中的位置有关的参数）有助于改善知识转移和优化项目成果。因此，本研究比较了两个类似的AEC项目团队的网络拓扑结构。我们收集了电子邮件交换，观察和档案数据，并进行了调查，从两个项目在施工阶段，并进行混合方法的分析。研究结果显示，两个项目之间的网络拓扑结构不同，其中一个项目网络根据项目需求发展，产生了更好的性能。结果表明，网络参数是没有意义的单独和参与和网络拓扑关系在衡量AEC项目团队的表现。研究结果揭示了复杂项目团队中知识转移网络的动态和多维特征，并通过提供一种研究项目团队的方法，为知识体系做出了贡献。
The inherent characteristics of the Architectural, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry require experts from various organizations and disciplines to collaborate toward shared project goals. However, it is significantly difficult to connect individuals from diverse disciplines, backgrounds, organizations, and effectively integrate their knowledge. Social network approach addresses integration and know-how flow dynamics. However, there is a knowledge gap regarding how network topologies (i.e., parameters relating to nodes, ties, boundaries, and their placements across network) help improve knowledge transfers and optimize project outcomes. Thus, this study compares the network topologies of two similar AEC project teams. We collected e-mail exchange, observational, and archival data and conducted surveys from two projects during the construction phase and performed mixed methods of analysis. The study findings showed different network topologies between the two projects and one of the project networks evolved based on the project needs which yielded better performance. The results suggest that network parameters are not meaningful alone and engagement and network topology matter in measuring AEC project team performance. The results shed light on dynamic and multidimensional characteristics of knowledge transfer networks in complex project teams and contribute to the body of knowledge by providing a methodology in studying project teams in this light.
