Abstract

This chapter describes a multi-level adaptive network modelAdaptive network models for mental processesMental process making use of shared mental modelsShared mental model in the contextContext of organisational learningOrganisational learning in teamTeam-related performances. The chapter describes the value of using shared mental modelsShared mental model to illustrate the concept of organisational learningOrganisational learning, and factors that influence teamTeam performances by using the analogy of a teamTeam of match officialsMatch officials during a game of football and show their behavior in a simulation of the shared mental modelShared mental model. The chapter discusses potential elaborations of the different studied concepts, as well as implications of the research in the domain of teamworkTeamwork and teamTeam performance, and in terms of organisational learningOrganisational learning.
