Abstract

This symposium is designed to present research that address the fundamental issues facing team researchers with specific attention to levels of analysis issues. Among the presenters are researchers known for the insightful work on teams and their call for a fundamental change in the way teams are studied. The papers included in the symposium attempt to improve our knowledge of teams through innovative theories and multi-method approaches that include both qualitative and quantitative data. Another important objective of the symposium is the advancement of team research through interdisciplinary efforts. This is accomplished by having a leading sport scientist serve as discussant. Sport science and management each have an extensive history of team research, however, the two fields have remained largely independent in their theories and discoveries. Bringing together individuals from each field to examine the state of team research is an important step in the evolution of both areas.
