A situational example of team putting knowledge to practice through knowledge adaptation is:
a. a manager discovers, by lots of personal research, that his department has created a new type of adhesive that is not sticky when wet but very sticky when dry. The manager challenges himself and his employees to improvise fixes to an employee's broken bicycle with this product.
b. a manager challenges the use of a newly, developed fixture at her departmental status meeting. This manager pushes the fixture design department to keep refining the design with new parameters in mind.
c. in order to shorten his team's R&D phase, a manager visits the company archives and researches past formulas that led to unsuccessful results.
d. a manager finds out that their newest product is not doing well in the market. He pushes the team to take a new look at their product research, and make changes to the product based on the team expanding their knowledge of marketplace trends.
