The team, rather than the individual, is increasingly seen as the
building block of organizations and a key source of competitive
advantage. Despite this, not enough is understood about how to
build successful teams in modern organizations.
The Essentials of Teamworking broadens this
understanding by offering a selection of key chapters on teamwork
from the International Handbook of Organizational Teamwork and
Cooperative Working. This concise paperback edition reveals the
complexity of teamwork and offers empirically based guidance on how
teamwork can be effectively developed in modern organizations.
Bringing together leading international scholars, The
Essentials of Teamworking offers challenging perspectives
on teamwork that will inform future research and practice. It is an
invaluable resource for professionals, researchers and students
alike.
