Attention has been focused recently on the concept of shared cognition which encompasses the notion that effective team members hold knowledge that is overlapping and complementary with teammates. This shared cognition is expected to improve team effectiveness. In contrast to the continued efforts in developing theoretical approach of shared cognition, empirical studies are meager. Thus, we conducted an empirical study to investigate the role of shared cognition on team effectiveness. This study classifies shared cognition into two types, team mental model and transactive memory system, by shared meaning. A total of 121 new product development teams in the IT industry were surveyed for the data collection. The results of analysis can be summarized as follows: first, team mental model has a positive influence on team performance, team innovative behavior and team learning effect. And the relation with team mental model and team performance is moderated by the similarity of knowledge structure among the expert. Second, transactive memory system has a positive influence on team performance, team innovative behavior and team learning effect.

Recently, Fives Stein has developed a non-oxidizing wet cooling process dedicated to high strength steel quenching in continuous galvanizing lines to freeze desired bainite and martensite phases, triggering Tata Steel R&D to collaborate in an innovative project together with Fives Stein. They have demonstrated that this promising technology could improve metallurgy and coatability. This technology can be implemented for galvanizing 3rd generation Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS) / Ultra High Strength Steel (UHSS) grades of Tata Steel. The pickling effect of wet cooling agent (water containing an acid) on steel surface after annealing prior to dipping into the Zn bath according to the wet cooling concept developed by Fives Stein was assessed by a metallurgy driven set of experiments on a Non-Oxidizing-Water-Quench (NOWQ) cooling test bench simulation. Selected samples were further preheated to required temperature in 5%H₂/N₂ and subsequently dipped in liquid zinc by a hot dip zinc simulator HDAS (Heat to Coat heated, i.e., without annealing). Results of experiments along with X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS)/Glow Discharge Optical Emission Spectroscopy (GDOES) analyses demonstrated that the NOWQ technology significantly improved pickling efficiency of Mn, Si, and Al selective oxides to secure good Zn wetting of exposed metallic strip surface.

This research identifies specific user experience factors that have positive impact on user's behavior intention to use so that a new technology called stretchable display(SD) can be accepted and spread in the market. To show how these factors can be applied to SD home appliances, a few concrete designs have been suggested. In the first stage of the research, the initial concept of innovative product design with stretchable display was derived by developing a scenario that solves the expected experience by home product users through the attributes of the SD technology. In the second stage, a scenario of the product to which a stretchable display was applied was suggested to investigate the expected experience factors that influence the behavior intention to use. As a result of the analysis, users showed a positive intention to use for the factors of Functionality of Space and Life Support, Presentation of Preferences, and Customization of Emotions, provided by the product with SD technology applied. In the next stage, based on the verified user experience factors, multifunctional kitchen appliances design, smart furniture design with flexible surfaces, and smart interior wall tile design have been derived. After all, the differentiated transformable interface designs shown through this process have been suggested as three-dimensional soft-physical button design and attachable design for multi-curved soft furniture. This study is significant as it emphasizes a user-centered design process over a technology-centered approach, enhancing market acceptability and focusing on design features aligned with the user's expected experience.
