| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 資訊管理研究所 === 104 === In order to respond to the impact of the global financial crisis and economic depression, government agencies in many countries have started to encourage entrepreneurial startups. Additionally, because of dynamic and competitive markets, companies need to have a unique core competency in order to profit from sustainable development. Entrepreneurs could thus work as a team to achieve this, as combining the unique perspectives and abilities from each team member could lead to more effective solutions. However, conflicts inevitably occur when we put together a group of different people. These conflicts not only impact team performance and decision quality, but also affect the entrepreneurship of each member. However, such conflict can also lead to successful outcomes for startups.
We reviewed the literature to find the plausible factors that lead to team conflict in order to investigate how this can impact the decision quality of the team and the entrepreneurship of each member. We built our preliminary research model based on theories in the existing literature. We used qualitative research methods to get detailed information and extensive data from an actual entrepreneurial team. In addition, this research used a system dynamics method to analyze the survey data and propose a set of propositions. This method helps us to know not only the relationship between team conflict and entrepreneurship, but also the related feedback mechanism.
The results of this study show that team conflict has a significant impact on the team examined this work. However, moderate levels of conflict could help the team to clarify matters and break through the bottlenecks it faces, as well as enhancing members’ entrepreneurship, which would enable the team working to work more positively, and so achieve better performance.
