| Tiivistelmä: | This article examines an important challenge to effective cross-functional integration: goal incongruity among marketing, research and development (R&D), and manufacturing in new product development. The authors examine the effect of this incongruity as perceived by the marketing function on three components of cross- functional integration: the harmony of cross-functional relationships, the quality of cross-functional information, and the level of cross-functional involvement. The authors also examine how two types of managerially controllable variables affect goal incongruity: factors that motivate functions to develop common goals; and factors that facilitate the formation of such goals. The authors give special attention to the effect of national culture on the formation of common goals. |
