Learning, inquiry, and problem-solving in/and resulting from interdisciplinary management teams

"Interdisciplinary management teams (IMTs) are a collection of managers and professionals representing different disciplines/functions within an organization who work together on a semipermanent basis. Future work, as well as related learning, inquiry, and problem solving, is likely to exist in an environment characterized by such interdisciplinary efforts. The phenomenon this dissertation explores is the learning, inquiry, and problem solving of managers and other professionals in IMTs. The purpose of this study is to contribute to the understanding of continuing educators, human resources managers, and IMT participant's regarding this phenomenon. The general research question addressed in this study is: ""What is the nature and extent of the learning, inquiry, and problem solving that occurs in, and as a result of, IMTs?"""
