What is a Group?A group is defined as

TYPES OF TEAMSTYPES OF TEAMSWork team: group of individuals who cooperate in completing a set of tasks.
Integrated work team: group that accomplishes many tasks by making specific assignments to members and rotating jobs among them as the tasks require.
Autonomous (or self-managing) work team: given almost complete autonomy in determining how a task will be done.
Entrepreneurial team: group of individuals with diverse expertise and backgrounds.
Quality circles: comprise small groups of employees who work on solving specific problems related to quality and productivity, often with stated targets for improvement.
PUTTING THE TEAM TOGETHERForming a team involves a great deal more than just
throwing several people together and assigning them a goalEffectiveness of a team begins to diminish over 12
members. Ideal size is typically centered around 6 and can drift as
high as 9.When formal groups are established with large numbers,
they inevitably partition into subgroups.When considering the size of a team, a firm must also be
conscious of the necessity of assembling a diversity of skills and functional expertise
NORMS IN THE TEAM CONCEPT Teams cannot work effectively to accomplish their
goals if they do not establish norms by which they will operate.
Group norms are not designed to cover every conceivable situation in which a team might become involved they address only those situations which are significant to the team.
Not all norms apply to every team member
CONFORMITY TO NORMS Individuals conform to team norms for a variety of
reasons.People generally feel more comfortable in groups
whose members share some common personal factors.
Intelligence is also an important factor in group conformity.
Situational factors are also integral part in the team concept. Such factors include the size of the group.
