Working in team : A study about team and teamwork

Abstract This is the paper you should read if you want to know more about working in team. Teamwork is a way of working and it increases more and more among societies and companies today, but it is not quite clear what the diffrences is from working in groups. We have in this paper tried to clear out the differences between groups and team, and we have also tried to give an oversight of how to work in team in organizations. Cultures of organizations, leadership and power and also development of qualifications are big parts of an organization´s daily work, and we have explained these concepts from a teamperspective. We have, in this paper, done interviews with people that have been in contact with the central consepts that we use. And then we have analyzed their answers with help from litterature, which we have closely studied, thereafter we have presented our results. We have critically looked into both litterature and the respondents answers to get a versatile picture of the concepts in this paper. Our results are, that team is an exceptional way of working for companies and organizations. Many companies do not realise though, that it takes a lot of hard work to assimilate the positive effects of working in team
