As organizations tackle increasingly complex challenges, multiteam systems (MTSs) have become critical for coordinating specialized teams. Despite growing recognition of the importance of MTSs, empirical research remains limited, stemming from difficulties concerning adequate data collection. This symposium demonstrates high- powered experimental and computational modeling MTS studies enabled through an innovative approach of establishing a national infrastructure facilitating large-scale collaboration. The case for the advantage of establishing such an infrastructure is best made by showcasing previously unexamined topics that are made possible to study through this collaborative capability. Each of the four papers in this symposium empirically examines important yet understudied questions in the MTS literature. Collectively, the papers exhibit multifaceted questions approachable through pooled access to participants, with insights spanning levels and methods. This symposium, therefore, illustrates the potential that architecting dedicated infrastructures can play in advancing empirical frontiers. The discussant, John Mathieu – a prominent scholar in this topic area – will highlight the key theoretical and practical implications of this innovation in MTS research.
