Document Summary
Chapter 10: teams, diversity, and communication team = consists of two or more people who work interdependently over some time period accomplish common goals related to some task oriented purpose. Pooled interdependence = members work independently and then the work is simply piled up (e. g, you work on this, i"ll work on this ), Sequential interdependence = tasks to be done in a prescribed order (e. g, factory job) Reciprocal interdependence = members interact with a subset (some) of other members to complete the team"s work. Comprehensive interdependence = requires the highest level of interaction and coordination among members (e. g, sports team) team composition = the mix of people who make up the team. Process gain = is getting more from the team than individual members. Process loss =is getting less from the team than individual members. Coordination loss = consumes time and energy that could otherwise be b. c. devoted to task activity.
