Engineer meets sociologist. Interdisciplinary team in academic and business practice

This article pertains to a research project carried out by an interdisciplinary team. What distinguished this project from others performed in market or academic conditions was voluntary participation of the members of the research team. This is a situation which requires constant review of the teaching habits as well as creativity and skilful use of soft competences in order to keep the team in its initial composition and give it an incentive to work. The aim of this article is to present practical aspects related to the management of interdisciplinary teams by two main researchers with different scientific background.
