Difference between team and group A group is defined as the collection of individuals coordinating their individual efforts forexecuting operational activities of organisation. On the other hand, team can be defined ascollection of individuals who serves a common goal and purpose. The members of group are mutually independent and have similar experience andinterests. Group members may have separate goals and each member can exchangesresources and information with other groups and has accountability for their work.Contrary to group behaviour, the team members are interdependent on each other andaims at common goal by sharing the responsibilities (The difference between a group anda team, 2013). In a group, each member contributes its effort individually while in a team each memberaims to work in a synergy by elevating strengths of all members and minimizing errors. The groups usually have one leader while teams may have multiple leaders. The focus ofgroup members is on individual goals while team members tends to focus at collectivegoals (Katzenbach and Smith, 2015). For instance, the marketing team of Kellogg's has aim of achieving its sales target. Eachteam member has different tasks like market research, customer interaction and advertisementstrategy. Each team member will work together to provide an ultimate goal of increasing sales.Similarly, the advertisement strategies of marketing team need to be grouped with research anddevelopment team for making advertisement strategies as per the latest innovations oforganisation. Thus, members of advertisement team require an interaction with individuals ofresearch team for information sharing. Hence, they work in group for discussions but eachmember perform its own duty. Team in organisational behaviourThe collective efforts of individuals for achieving a common goal can be accomplishedby combining individuals together into a structure called team. Kellogg's can have temporaryteams which are designed to perform some specific tasks only, as well as permanent teams suchas promotional and marketing team which performs the tasks regularly. Some individuals can bea part of more than one team. Certain tasks and operational activities of organisation are notpossible to perform individually and alone.
