CISE Research Instrumentation: Use of Groupware to Enhance Team Decisions and Achieve Organizational Learning

9729843 Wright, William F.加州大学欧文分校CISE研究仪器：使用群件来增强团队决策和实现组织学习这项研究仪器补助金有助于实现以下项目：-使用群件更好地协作信息用户：使用大量信息和使用多媒体信息，-团队成员何时有效协作？团队领导和团队凝聚力对协同使用群件的影响，以及-使用群件获得组织记忆：案例描述的框架和团队贡献的激励。专业组织最重要的资产是它的员工：更具体地说，是他们积累的知识和潜在的洞察力。当这些知识工作者协作时，他们为自己和他们的组织实现了学习。群件（包括内部网）用于促进他们的协作工作。建议的研究首先讨论了群件的使用将如何提高地理上分布的专业人员协作的决策有效性和效率；其次，在什么条件下，团队将提供他们的决策和决策过程，以允许组织获取、管理和分发他们的知识。知识工作者团队的成员将在需要联网、工作站和视频会议仪器的待建立的群件实验室中进行通信、交换信息和做出决策。该仪器将安装在隔音隔间中，可以模拟和研究专业人员在地理分布时如何仅使用数字（和语音）交互。这种“数字通信”实验室的使用允许控制无关变量（例如，访问未知的方和信息），并集中于发现新的因果关系。

9729843 Wright, William F. University of California - Irvine CISE Research Instrumentation :Use of Groupware to Enhance Team Decisions and Achieve Organizational Learning This research instrumentation grant contributes to enable the following projects:- Better Collaborative User of Information Using Groupware: Use of Considerable Information and Use of Multimedia Information,- When will Team Members Collaborate Effectively?: The Impact of Team Leadership and Team Cohesion on Collaborative Use of Groupware, and- Use of Groupware to Acquire Organizational Memory: Framing of Case Descriptions and Incentives for Teams to Contribute. The most important asset of a professional organization is its people: more specifically, their accumulated knowledge and potential insights. When these knowledge workers collaborate, they are achieving learning for themselves and their organization. Groupware (including Intranets) is used to facilitate their collaborative work. The proposed research addresses first how use of groupware will improve both the decision effectiveness and efficiency of collaboration by geographically distributed professionals and second under what conditions will teams make available their decisions and decision processes to permit an organization to acquire, manage and distribute their knowledge. Members of teams of knowledge workers will communicate, exchange information, and make decisions, in the to-be-established Groupware Laboratory for which the networking, workstation and videoconferencing instrumentation is needed. The instrumentation, to be installed in soundproof cubicles, will permit simulation and study of how professionals "interact" using only digital (and voice) interaction when they are geographically distributed. This use of a "digital communication" laboratory permits control of extraneous variables (e.g., access to unknown parties and information) and concentrates on discovery of new causal effects.
