Working Team Typology is a term denoting the definition of basic types of working teams.
Eric Sundstrom, Kenneth de Meuse and David Futrell divide working teams as follows - while differentiation is difference of the team from the rest of the organization and integration is level of cooperation with other members of the organization:
Type of team | Differentiation | Integration | Working Cycle | Typical Outputs |
Advisory | Low | Low | Variable, short or long | Decision, choice, suggestions, recommendations |
Productive | Low | High | Repeated or continuous processes | Production, processing, wholesale, customer care, repair |
Project / development | High | Low | Variable, often single-cycle | Plans, proposals, reports, prototype, presentation |
Action / negotiating | High | High | Short repetitive task under new conditions | Races, competitions, expeditions, interests protection, surgical operations, missions |
