Document Summary
Team: two more people with a common goal who are dependent upon each other to achieve a particular task and who hold themselves accountable to each other. Group: two or more people with common interests and continuing interactions. Task interdependence: the degree of task-driven interaction among work team members. Key feature that distinguishes a team from a group is the fact that in a team, members are interdependent upon each other to accomplish their tasks. There are three types of interdependence in teams: (exhibit 7. 1 pg. 183: pooled interdependence, sequential interdependence, reciprocal interdependence. Team members work individually but either draw from a pool of common inputs or pool their outputs. Teams rely on each other for resources with the output of one member becoming the input of another such as a football team. Members have reciprocal interdependence, with work being exchanged back and forth among them, like double tennis teams.
