This study examines Adizes's management model implemented in student enterprise teams among undergraduate students at the University of Agder, Norway, exploring factors that affect the collaborative process. As Adizes's model claims four team roles (integrator, administrator, producer, entrepreneur) are required for effective and targeted collaboration, the researchers hypothesized that student enterprises with four roles present would collaborate better than teams with fewer roles present. Prior to commencing the student enterprise, each student categorized themselves according to these four roles. Eleven student enterprise teams were interviewed regarding their collaborative process. The four roles were represented to different extent in each team. Students reported collaborative benefits when having all four roles represented in the group. Most students ranked collaboration and ownership to business idea high and reported fruitful team discussions with only a few teams experiencing conflicts. Due to limited variance, further research is needed to investigate the hypothesis.
