The following is a summary of the findings in a research study that examined networks of teams and their integration efforts to reach a common goal collectively. The experimenters used a multiteam system simulation to assess how both cross-team and within-team processes relate to multiteam performance over multiple performance periods that differed in terms of required interdependence levels. The authors found that cross-team processes were better predictors of multiteam performance beyond that accounted for by within-team processes. In other words, when both networks worked together, they were better off at reaching their goal. They also found that cross-team processes were more important for multiteam effectiveness when there were high cross-team interdependence demands as compared with situations in which teams could work more interdependently.
It is important to understand the concept of multiteam systems (MTS) because the study revolves heavily upon them. A multiteam system......
