Document Summary
How are teams and groups similar: both are composed of multiple members (2 or more individuals, both have members who are interdependent (connected, both have members who share collective goals & identities (social relationships) Yes---divisible task: members/subgroups can have unique task responsibilities, division must be practical and sensible. E. g not feasible to divide up solving a math problem, driving a car, etc. No-----unitary task: members work on all aspects of the team task, performance depends on team accomplishing single overall task. Produce a lot or quickly maximizing task: performance= quantity, speed, efficiency, no objective standard for best performance--- producing more (or more quickly) is always better. Meet specific criteria optimizing task: performance = quality, accuracy, effectiveness, correct or optimal standard for best performance --- meeting or getting as close to standard as possible is better. Ex: maximizing: selling products, scoring points in a game, optimizing: building a structure from blueprints, landing an airplane.
