The Relationship Of Knowledge Heterogeneity,shared Mental Model And The Knowledge Innovation Performance Of R & D Team

Knowledge economy in the 21st century will be gradually occupy the international economic dominance, as the basic unit of knowledge innovation system, R&D team of the enterprises play an important role. The team members of all the enterprise R&D team are different, so it is necessary to understand the knowledge structure of team members, to make sure that we have all the right people and elements in the right place to effectively improve knowledge innovation performance of R&D team.

As follows:(1) Knowledge heterogeneity and shared mental model have a significant correlation.(2)Shared mental model and knowledge innovation performance of R&D team have a significant Positive correlation.(3)Shared mental model between knowledge heterogeneity and knowledge innovation performance of R&D team play an intermediary role.Finally, according to the above conclusions, this paper put forward practical recommendations on improving knowledge innovation performance of R&D team, and point out the limitations of the study and the research direction in the future.
