    CHAPTER 2 No.1 :
    Question :
    List seven reason that explain why organizations are forming groups and teams!

    Answer :
    1.better decisions. Decisions are generally more accurate and effective because group and team members contribute different expertise and perspectives.
    2. Faster response. When action is necessary to respond to competition or to solve a problem, small group and teams can act rapidly.
    3.Increase productivity. Because they are often closer to the action and to the customer, team members can see opportunities for improving efficiencies.
    4.Greater “buy-in”. decisions derived jointly are usually better received because members are committed to the solution and are willing to support it.
    5.Less resistance to change. People who have input into making decisions are less hostile, aggressive, and resistance to change.
    6.Improved employee morale. Personal satisfaction and job morale increase when teams are successful.
    7.Reduced risks. Responsibility for a decision is diffused, thus carrying less risk for any individual.
