SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Introduction:
With the growing business in the international market, team working skill identified as
one of the most demanding skills Australian employers demand from their employees. As
observed from the mountain of literature, while the teaching of team work is integrated part of
the many disciplines, very little discipline of business focuses on the skill in Australia. As
discussed by Mladenovic et al. (2019), team working is now identified as one of the prime skills
and selection requirement. Any researchers highlighted that team working and open
communication are two important skills required for the higher education. While countries such
as United States and united Kingdome select this criteria as benchmark of higher education and
success of business, in Australia the skills mainly observed in health care sectors to provide
patient centric care.
Aim:
The aim of the paper is to understand the role of the team working skills in enhancing efficacy
of students in Australian University Business Disciplines and to identify the issues observed in
teaching and educational process.
Objective:
The objectives of the study are following

 To suggest the probable means by which Australian business schools can mitigate the
problems
Research question:
What are the effectiveness of teaching team working in the Australian business schools?
Description of search process:
As discussed by Barnham, (2015), In order to gain the answer of the research question,
the most appropriate nature of the study is systematic review, which provides possible unbiased
authority and research. For conducting systematic reviews, this research used Pickering and
Byrne’s method where inclusion and exclusion criteria was used to obtain accurate articles for
the themes. The research was conducted using electronic database such as ProQuest. The key
term used for the study include “team working”, “role of team working” ,” teaching of team
working business school of Australia”. The inclusion and exclusion criteria for the research were
following:
Inclusion criteria Exclusion criteria
 All journals published within 2016 to
2019 was included in the study.
 All peer review journals were
included
 All journals published in English
language were included
 All relevant papers undertaking the
management of pressure ulcer were
 All journals published other than

included in the study.
 All journal of management, nursing,
medical, engineering course were
included.
 All journals which fit into check list of
CRAAP were included in the study
 All papers that are based on online or
virtual learning were included.
medical, engineering course were
excluded.
 All journal which fit into other than
check list of CRAAP were excluded
in the study
 All papers that are based on other than
online or virtual learning were
excluded.
Once search terms were given the databases, a total of 98 journals were located and for
eliminating duplication these articles further filtered (appendix 1). After elimination of all
irrelevant articles, only 6 journals found which met the criteria of CRAAP.
Result and theme generation:
Over the three years covered in this review, only 6 articles were obtained that met the
criteria of CRAAP and inclusion. Research on the application of teamwork teaching and team-
based learning in the business schools of Australia is very limited in the literature. Despite the
fact that many of the business school in Australia stated team working is one of the effective
quality of the graduate students, minimal appropriate team-based learning observed in the
Australian business schools. This lack of attention to the team working in the business field
compared to other fields in Australia further made it difficult to obtain educational issues. The
summary table will provide the evidence the research for this systematic review.
