Over the past 40 years, there has been a growing trend toward the utilization of teams for accomplishing work in organizations. Project teams, self-managed work teams and top management teams, among others have become a regular element in the corporation or military. There are now many theories, principles, tips, methodologies, tools and lessons learned to help manage and develop teams and group work in organizations. This volume is intended to provide an overview of the current state of the art research on team effectiveness. It will bridge the gaps between disciplines and offer new thinking for assessing, capturing, recording and interpreting the dynamic nature of team performance.
