Unit 9, Assignment 1 .
In this assignment, I will explain the different between a group and a team, and then giving
the various types of and purposes of teams in business, and the importance of having them.
I will also be including the characteristics of teams, followed with the benefits of having an
effective team in operation. I shall then discuss the dynamics of teams.
Subsequently, I will provide an analysis including justifications on the many ways my team
benefits my selected business. After this, I am going to go in extreme depth in analysing my
team’s dynamics and their roles, supplying recommendations as to improve their
cohesiveness. Ending my essay will be an evaluation on the effectiveness of my team both
individually and collectively, including leadership.
The business I shall choose is a Lidl, a supermarket chain which has operations in countries
all over the globe, including UK, EU nations, US, Switzerland, Bosnia and Herzegovina and
Serbia. They made €57B in 2022 and have 315,000 employees. They have 13,000 shops in
these countries stated. They were established 91 years ago as of current in 1932, Germany.
Their headquarters are based in Neckarsulm, Germany.
P1
Types and Purposes of Teams in Business .
Groups and teams may be similar, but ultimately, they have their differences.
Groups are a collection of individuals who work together all in related roles however, they all
work independently with their own separate targets in kind which they work towards.
Teams are the same (a collection of people), but they have many of the same goals, aims
and targets in common which therefore causes them to depend on each other. Because of
this, they must come together and support one another.
The mains differences are that groups don’t involve as much teamwork as teams do, they
have shared goals and teams are generally more formal.
