Discussion: View Thread

This thread is rich in terms of topic for discussion, and I have a few
that I am storing away for a later date (when the list is again quiet ;]).

The question raised was "How do we teach team concepts to students?"

I will stack on an additional question. "How do you teach teams
differently than groups?"

the case method is a perfect analogy for teams

study groups are teams

I disagree. A study group may become a team. There is a big difference
between a group and a team. Putting people in a group and calling them a
team does not necessarily make them a team. Recent work (last two to three
years) by Don Hambrick at Columbia's School of Business on Top management
Teams supports this thought.
