Document Summary

Teams differ from groups in two primary respects: the interactions within teams revolve around a deeper dependence on one another than the interactions within groups, the interactions within teams occur with a specific task-related purpose in mind. Work teams: permanent teams where members work together to produce g/s. Members have autonomy in figuring out their roles in the team (traditional and self managed) Management teams: they are designed to be permanent. They are responsible for coordinating the activities of org. departments to help the org. achieve its long term goals. Parallel teams: composed of members from various jobs who provide recommendations to managers about important issues that run parallel to the orgs. Project teams: formed to take on a one time task that is complex and requires a lot of input from members with different types of training and expertise. Action teams: perform tasks that are limited in timing.
