The five stages are A1B forming$ A!B storming$ A"B norming$ A#B performing$ and A%B adjourning. A1B Critical events$ A!B primac'$ A"B carr'over behaviors$ and A#B e*plicit statements. The si* factors are A1B scarce resources$ A!B communication breakdown$ and A"B goal differences. The three ke' components are A1B two or more people are re3uired$ A!B the people in the team must have regular interaction$ and A"B people in the team share a specific performance objective. A team is a t'pe of group$ but the terms are not interchangeable. The use of the word team implies a sense of shared mission and responsibilit'. There are other differences as well. 9n a team situation$ leadership is usuall' shared or rotated and there is both individual and mutual accountabilit'. 9n a group situation$ leadership is concentrated in a single person and there is onl' individual accountabilit'. inall'$ groups tend to focus on individual work products$ teams on collective products. ;ertical teams$ also called functional teams and command teams$ are composed of a manager and his>her subordinates in the organi+ation(s formal chain of command. -ori+ontal teams are composed of emplo'ees from about the same hierarchical level but from different areas of e*pertise. Task forces and committees are the two most common t'pes. &pecial-purpose teams$ also called project teams$ are created from outside the formal organi+ation to undertake a project of special importance or creativit'. &elf-directed teams$ normall' evolving from problem solving teams in mature companies$ are teams of five to twent' multiskilled workers who can rotate jobs and produce an entire product or service. There is a high level of cross training so the members can perform one another(s jobs. The team eliminates barriers between departments$ enabling e*cellent coordination. The team is given access to resources including information$ e3uipment$ machiner'$ and supplies needed to complete the entire task. inall'$ the team is empowered with the decision making authorit' to select new members$ solve problems$ spend mone'$ monitor results$ and plan for the future. The first stage$ forming$ is a period of orientation and getting ac3uainted. Fncertaint' is high in this stage. The second stage is storming. 9t is when individual personalities emerge and conflict and disagreements occur. 8uring the third stage$ norming$ conflict is resolved$ and team harmon' and unit' emerge. This is when leader and member roles are developed. The fourth stage$ performing$ has a major emphasis on problem solving and accomplishing the assigned task. The last stage is adjourning. This stage occurs in committees$ task forces$ and teams that have a limited task to perform and are disbanded afterward. 2mphasis is placed on wrapping up and gearing down$ instead of task performance$ like in the other stages. 8eterminants of team cohesiveness go in two categories@ 1. Team structure which includes team interaction$ shared goals$ and personal attraction to the team. !. Team conte*t which include the presence of competition$ and team success and the favorable evaluation of the team b' outsiders.

Conse3uences of team cohesiveness also fall into two categories@ 1. :orale@ 9n general$ morale is higher in cohesive teams because of increased communication among members$ a friendl' team climate$ maintenance of membership because of commitment to the team$ lo'alt'$ and member participation in team decisions and activities. -igh cohesiveness has almost uniforml' good effects on the satisfaction and morale of team members.

Team productivit'@ 6esearch findings are mi*ed. irst$ in a cohesive team$ members( productivit' tends to be more uniform. Cohesive teams have the potential to be productive$ but the degree of productivit' depends on the relationship between management and the working team.

There are five st'les for dealing with conflict. These st'les are based on two dimensions@ the individual(s desire to satisf' his or her own concern AassertivenessB versus the other part'(s concern AcooperativenessB. A competing st'le is based on a high degree of assertiveness and a low degree of cooperativeness. 9t should be used when 3uick$ decisive action is needed. An avoiding st'le reflects a low concern with both assertiveness and cooperativeness. 9t is appropriate in a number of situations$ including when the issue in conflict is minor. A compromising st'le is based on a moderate amount of both dimensions and is appropriate when both sides have e3ual power and want to split the difference. An accommodating st'le reflects a high degree of cooperativeness and a low degree of assertivenessG it is appropriate$ for e*ample$ when people think the' are wrong. The collaborating st'le is based on a high degree of both dimensions and enables both parties to win$ although it ma' re3uire hard work to reach an agreement. 8istributive negotiation is a competitive and adversarial negotiation approach in which each part' strives to get as much as it can$ usuall' at the e*pense of the other part'. 9ntegrative negotiation is a collaborative approach to negotiation that is based on a win-win assumption$ whereb' the parties want to come up with a creative solution that benefits both sides of the conflict. The steps for achieving a win-win solution with integrative negotiation include@ 1. separate the people from the problem !. focus on interests$ not current demands ". generate man' alternatives for mutual gain #. insist that results be based on objective standards
