目的-提出一个案例研究的协调机制，采用了多团队系统（MTS）负责在一个国际石油和天然气公司。设计/方法/途径-定性方法与纵向观察和interviewing.Findings -MTS，特别是其协调机制的定期协作会议，提供了多种好处，如获得不同的能力，解决跨越团队边界的问题的能力，以及在所涉及的不同团队之间发展关系的机会。还观察到一些挑战：参与者之间缺乏对MTS主要协作会议目的的共同理解，对彼此能力领域的不同洞察力，信息共享，团队成员的变化，多团队成员，时间压力，和技术为媒介的沟通。独创性/价值-说明在真实的组织环境中的多边贸易体制概念以及定期协作会议作为多边贸易体制协调机制的作用。
Purpose - To present a case study of coordination mechanisms employed by a multiteam system (MTS) charged in an international oil and gas company.Design/methodology/approach - Qualitative method with longitudinal observation and interviewing.Findings - The MTS, and particularly its coordination mechanism of a regular collaboration meeting, provided multiple benefits, such as access to diverse competences, capabilities for solving problems crossing team boundaries, and opportunities for developing relationships between the different teams involved. There were also observed challenges: a lack of shared understanding between the participants concerning the purpose of the main collaboration session of the MTS, different levels of insight into each other's areas of competence, information sharing, shifting team membership, multiteam membership, time pressure, and technology-mediated communication.Originality/value - Providing an illustration of the MTS concept in a real organizational setting and the role of a regular collaboration meeting as a coordination mechanism for the MTS.
