Introduction
The development of teams is an important part of the successful operations of an
organization. The teams within an organization help in the process of decision making and
the ways by which the organization operates in the environment. The structure and the culture
of the various modern organizations affect the ways by which the teams operate. The
members of the team are considered to be the most important part of the development of
teams. The decision making process is the most important function that is considered by the
teams in the modern companies (Bals, Kirchoff and Foerstl 2016).
The report will be based on the detailed analysis of the teams that are operating within
the organizations and the process that is involved behind the formation of these teams. The
company that has been taken as an example to explain the processes of team development is
Kmart. Kmart Australia Limited is a retail organization which is based in Australia. The
company mainly operates in the area of low cost products. The organization was formed as a
result of the joint venture between G.J. Coles and Coy Limited and the S.S. Kresge Company.
The Kresge Company is the owner of around 51% of the total shares. The development of the
Kmart stores in Australia had started in the year 1968. The first store of Kmart was opened in
Burwood East, Victoria.
Analysis of Tuckman’s stages in development of teams
The process pf team development is based on five major stages that have been
described by Tuckman. The stages of tea, development were proposed and explained by
Bruce Tuckman, who was a psychologist in the year 1965. The stages of team formation start
from the time when the members of the team meet up to the completion of the entire project.
Each of the stages that have been described by Tuckman plays an important role in the high
functioning teams of the organizations (Conrado et al. 2016).
