MNO 3370 Final Exam 2023 with complete solution
Team
consists of two or more people who work interdependently over some time period to
accomplish common goals related to some task-oriented purpose
Skill differentiation
Team Type in which everyone is skilled differently and performs various tasks.
Authority differentiation
Team Type in which it is very clear who the leader is and they have the authority to
make various decisions when there is disagreements.
Temporal Stability of team membership
Team Type in which the structural linkages may be short term of long-lasting.
Ex. Student teams that usually disband
Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing, Adjourning
What are the Team Development Stages?
Forming
During what stage of team development do members try to understand their boundaries
in their team? Thinking about how they will fit into the team?
Storming
During what stage of team development are members committed to their own ideas and
bring them to their team?
- What contribution can you bring to your team?
- (You can actually skip this stage if your boss is telling you what to do)
Storming and Norming
In between what stages of team development is the "Team Charter" or "Team Contract"
or "Team Mission Statement"
Team (Charter/Contract/Mission Statement)
In between Storming and Norming what takes place?
HINT:
This is the longest stage change but you can speed it up by having a preconceived
contract.
Norming
In this team development stage members realize that they need to work together to
accomplish team goals - COOPERATION!!
(Things can be done to speed this stage up)
Performing
In this stage of team development members are comfortable working within their roles
and make progress towards their goals. (Everyone starts doing working to contribute to
the conlcusion)
Adjourning
In this team development stage members experience emotions as they ultimately have
to separate from the team (the break up)
Punctuated Equilibrium
The turning point at which your group realizes there is a deadline and you start working
towards the goal... In order to prevent this USE MILESTONES (deadlines)
, - Can help creativity
- Is not procrastination
Task Interdependence
Refers the degree to which team members interact with and rely on
other team members for the information, materials, and resources needed to
accomplish work for the team.
- The greater amount of this, the more knowledge, skills and ability
- Cons: more of this means less coordination, less efficient
Pooled Interdependence
- Lowest type of Team Interdependence
- requires the lowest level of coordination
- Good for low skill differentiation
- Bad for high skill differentiation (would look weird)
Sequential Interdependence
- More interdependent but you still aren't working fully
- Ex. Manufacturing
- Main Problem with this is that if anyone screws up the entire project is screwed up.
Reciprocal Interdependence
-
- Requires a little more interaction but not a-lot
- Issue is that it is two sub-teams and if you don't bridge them at the end your project is
screwed. The bridge has to be REALLY good
Comprehensive Interdependence
- Most interdependent team, everyone does work with everybody
- Requires the highest level of interaction and coordination
- ISSUES: higher chance of conflict, takes forever to do, not efficient
- PROS: more exchange of knowledge skills and abilities, better with complex
moderate positive
Task Interdependence has a ... effect on Team Performance. However, the correlation
is higher in teams involved in more complex knowledge work rather than less complex
work.
weak
Task Interdependence has a ... relationship with Team Commitment. However, the
correlation is stronger for teams involved in more complex knowledge work than in
teams involved in less complex work.
Goal Interdependence
A high degree of this exists when team members have a shared vision of the team's
goal and align their individual goals with that vision as a result.
(Develop a formalized mission statement that members buy into)
Outcome (Reward) Interdependence
A high degree of this exists when team embers share in the rewards that the team
earns.
Ex.
- Pay, bonuses, formal feedback and recognition, pats on the back, extra time off, and
continued team survival
Team Composition
Team
consists of two or more people who work interdependently over some time period to
accomplish common goals related to some task-oriented purpose
