In this assignment I’m going to describe different types of team
and the benefits of teams for an organisation.
A team is any group of people organised to work together
interdependently and cooperatively to meet the needs of their
customers by accomplishing a purpose and goals. Teams are
created for both long term and short term interaction. There are

First I’m going to start off with a formal team. A formal team is

the parts each team member plays. For e.g. a committee, this
generally lasts a long time and deals with recurrent problems
and decisions. For instance, your university or college probably
has a committee for student affairs to deal with recurring issues
that involve students’ lives. While members of this committee
may come and go, the committee remains in place over time.
To sum up a formal team, they work to achieve the same
objects.

response to changes in the work environment, the instability of
people through its porous boundaries, and the complex social
dynamics of its members. To sum up an informal team, it’s an

rank structure as in; having a leader or someone who co-
