Ideas
Why multiteam systems fail. With Campbell and colleagues, found in a historiometric analysis of failed multiteam systems that component teams concentrated on alignment within their own team rather than coordination between teams. Caveat: A coded comparison of 40 failed multiteam systems from archival reports: failed cases only, seen through the reports' detail and perspective, and multiteam systems in general rather than the team of teams model.
Multiteam systems. With Mathieu and Marks, defined multiteam systems as two or more teams that interface directly and interdependently in response to environmental contingencies toward the accomplishment of collective goals; the component teams pursue different proximal goals but share at least one common distal goal, so the system's goals form a hierarchy. Caveat: A conceptual chapter. Only short passages of it were read.
In this section, “read” means read by the Organizational Structures series: where a line says a work, or part of one, was not read, the series did not read it.
