In chapter 8 they mentioned how many American work under a team- based organization. A team based organization is one that has restructured itself around independent decision making groups. Some member of a group may work in one or more groups and also have individual responsibilities outside of the group work. In an organization there could be three types of teams: project teams, work teams, and quality improvement teams. I am going to volunteer at the Olympics this summer. There is 160 volunteers from the US are in total we have 16 teams all working and doing different duties and projects. This can be considered work teams.
