RESEARCH REPORT WRITING
Emergence of team as key feature of modern workplace
The team work is being defined as the collaborative efforts of people within a group who
are working in direction of attaining the objective of team. The working in team is a process
through which people work in collaboration to attain the same objective. The team is important
as when the work is being taken place in team then this involves much good efforts (Hildebrandt
and Marr, 2020). In the modern work culture, the emphasis is being laid over the team work and
this result in attaining the objectives of the business in better and effective manner. The modern
working culture focuses on working in effective manner to that the objectives can be attained in
better way and growth can be attained.
The feature of team work involves the fact that when a team is formed then there is a
clear direction that how the work need to done in better and effective manner. When the team is
formed then this will result in one aim and in attaining that aim each and every team member
will be working (Black and et.al., 2019). In addition to this another feature of using team
working is that there are pre- defined roles of each and every member and this makes is clear that
how the work need to be managed and objective to be attained. When each and every member
within the team knows their responsibility then this motivate them to work in better manner.
Hence, as a result of this the objective of the team will be attained and resultantly will be
developing the business.
Moreover, in addition to this another feature of working in team for the modern
workplace is that this increases the communication within the team. This in turn improves the
overall organisational communication and this will improve the attainment of business
objectives. Moreover, when there will be proper team work and work allocation then as a result
of this the communication will also be improved. Along with this, another feature of working in
team is that this also provides flexibility (Super, 2020). This is because of the reason that when
the people work in team then there is collaboration then there is more coordination between the
team members. For example, in case one team member is not able to work in better manner then
the other member can help the other person.

Outlining Tuckman stages of team development
For the team development it is very necessary for the reason that when the team will not
be developed in proper manner then this will negatively affect the working. Hence, for this
reason it is very essential for the company that they must develop the team in proper and
effective manner. In case the team is not maintained or created in proper manner then this will
affect the working of the company in negative manner. Hence, for this the use of Tuckman team
development theory is helpful in order to improve the working of the company to a great extent.
The leader plays a crucial role in the effective team development as they are the one who make
the team and shares the information with the team members so that it can be improved.
Element Description
Forming This is the stage in which the team is formed at
the initial level. This is the most important
stage wherein the team members are being
decided that is who will perform the task. The
leader in this plays a crucial role because in
case the team members will not be selected in
proper manner then this will be affecting the
working of the overall business (Sa'adah and
et.al., 2021). Hence, as a result of this the
working of team will be affected. Thus, leader
of the company has to thoroughly decide for
the people who will be present in the team. In
case leader will not decide for the appropriate
members then objectives will not be attained.
For example, the leader of Morrison will be
analysing each and every individual and then
the most capable will be selected to come
within the team.
Storming This is the stage wherein the company or the
leader provides time to the team members to
communicate with one another and get to know

each other. In case the working will not be
good then this will be affecting the
coordination between the team members. With
the help of the storming each and every team
member will be knowing one another and this
will improve the rapport between them. In case
there will be any conflict then this will be
affecting the attainment of the objectives of the
business. In this stage, the leader of the
Morrison tries to create some informal meeting
and events so that people can communicate
with one another and know each other. Hence,
the leader will be providing space to the team
members to get to know one another. For
instance, every last Saturday an informal
meeting is organized so that team members can
get acquainted and comfortable with one
another. This bonding will also increase the
level of understanding between them and
coordination will be improved.
Norming This is the stage wherein the leader makes
some of the rules and regulations for the
effective working of the team. The rules and
regulations are very important because this
guides the company to work in a specified
manner only. In case the norms are not being
followed then this will be negatively affecting
the working of the team (Fink-Samnick, 2020).
Hence, it is the responsibility of the leader of
Morrison that the proper rules and regulation
are being made and implemented in the

company. in case this will not be there then
team members will not be working in better
and effective manner. Hence, there is
requirement of proper rules and regulation so
that there is not any mistake during the team
work and objectives are being attained in
proper and effective manner. For example, all
the deadline of the work is being decided by
the leader of the team only. Also the leader of
Morrison decide that which work will be
conducted by whom.
Performing This is the stage wherein the actual work of the
team is being undertaken. in case the
performing will not be good then this will not
result in fulfilling the objectives of the
business. hence, in this stage the employees
perform the task which is being assigned to
them. Thus, the work is being implemented in
the manner as specified by the leader (Giudici
and Filimonau, 2019). Here the leader plays
the role of managing and monitoring the work.
This is because it is the duty of the leader to
ensure that whether the standards have been
followed by the team members or not. For
example, in case one of the team member is not
working in better manner, then it is the duty of
leader to motivate them and ensure that they
are working in better and coordinated manner.
Adjourning This is the last stage of the Tuckman team
development theory and in this stage the team
comes to an end. This is because of the reason

that objective of the team has been fulfilled and
as a result of this, they have adjourned the
team. In this stage, the leader plays the role of
communicator that the objective has been
attained and now all the people can work as
individual.
Applying insight of managerial decision making to decision making in team
For the team to work in better manner it is very important that the managerial decision is
taken in better manner. Decision making in team plays a crucial role because in case the decision
will not be taken in proper manner then this will be affecting the working efficiency of the
business. the study of managerial decision is necessary for the effective working so that the team
work is being done in better and effective manner. In case the leader does not take proper
decision for the team then this will be affecting the working efficiency of the business (Lohmann
and et.al., 2019). This is because of the reason that in case the team will not be working in better
manner then ultimately the objective of the business will be affected. Hence, for making the team
work in better manner it is necessary that there is proper managerial decision making. In case the
decision making of the leader will not be good then this will negatively affect the working
efficiency of the overall business.
Within the team it is also very essential for the business that they must include their team
as well within the decision making. This is very necessary because in case the team members
will also be included then this will motivate them to be active and attentive. When views of team
members will be included in the decision making then this will motivate all the employees to
work in better and effective way. This is because each and every team member will try to give
better ideas for the effective decision making. Hence, more good and innovative ideas will be
provided and this will improve the working efficiency of team. Ultimately this will result in
attainment of the objectives of the business and grow and develop (Kumar, Morad and Sonsati,
2019). Along with this, another benefit of engaging employees in decision making is that this
will improve communication and collaboration within the team members. The reason pertaining
to the fact is that when the team members will be attentive then this will motivate them to work
in collaboration and hence communication will be improved. Ultimately it can be stated that

managerial decision making is very important for the effective working and attainment of
objectives of team. Thus, when the good decision making will be used then this will provide
more effective and better working and objectives will be attained in proper manner.
Giving example of physical structure designed to facilitate team work
The structure of team is being defined as the composition of people within the team and
the multi- team system being used. It is very important for the company that the team work in the
same direction so that work is being done in proper and effective manner. In case there will not
be any structure or pattern to be followed then this will be affecting the working of the team and
work distribution to a great extent (Piers and et.al., 2019). This is particularly because of the
reason that in case the proper structure will not be followed then there might not be any proper
manner. Also, there might also be confusion relating to the work as there is not any specified
way in which team will be working. Hence, the use of structure is very important for the
company as it provides a guidance as how the work need to be done. In case the structure will
not be used then this will not guide the team members to work in better and effective manner.
The use of physical structure will be assistive to the company as it will provide a guiding
note to the employees or team members that how they have to work. In case the working will not
be in accordance to the physical structure then this will be affecting the working efficiency of the
company. hence, this physical structure will be providing proper guidance that how the working
will be undertaken within the team (Mughal and Iraqi, 2020). Thus, for the correct working it is
necessary that proper structure is being selected. In the present case, the focus is being laid over
the functional team. This team involves making the team by keeping the focus on keeping he
members from the same department with various other responsibilities. This type of team
generally follows the top to down approach. this is because of the reason that in this decision are
taken by the leader or the responsible person. Thereafter these decisions are being communicated
with the lower level and then the actual work is being done. Hence, when the team is being
prepared by following some structure then this will be providing better direction to the team
members to work in better way.
For example, when leader of Morrison makes the team on the basis of functional
structure then all the work will be done in better manner. For instance, the sales department will
be having their own team who will be working in direction of attaining those objectives.
Moreover, when there will be team for every functional area in Morrison, then this will result in

smooth working as every person is responsible for the work in which they are good (Sanyal and
Hisam, 2018). Hence, this will develop the interest of the employees as well and they will be
working in better and effective manner. Thus, this will ultimately result in the development and
attainment of the business and objectives of the team.
Outlining ways in which manager can promote effective team work
Thus, with the above analysis it is clear that the focus on team work is very important and
in case company will not focus on that then its working will be affected. Hence, as a result of
this, the working of the overall attainment of objectives will be affected (Varela and Mead,
2018). Thus, it is very important that the company focuses on improving the team work so that
business is conducting its operations smoothly. Hence, for this some of the ways the manager of
Morrison can promote the team work effectively are as follows-
 The most important strategy for the company or the manager to use of to give target to
the team members. This is necessary because of the reason that in case the proper target
is being provided then this will be motivating the team member to work hard and achieve
that target.
 Along with this, another important strategy for the manager to improve team work is that
they must conduct the frequent team working meeting. This is necessary for the reason
that when the team meeting will be conducted then this will result in effective
communication within the team (You and Robert, 2018). Hence, in this team meeting the
working will be discussed and in case the team members will not be working in better
manner then in this meeting they will be answerable. Hence, this team meeting will
motivate the members of the team so that they are motivated to work in hard manner such
that objective of team is being attained.
 In addition to this, another strategy which manager can undertake in order to improve the
team work is to have open communication. This is necessary because of the reason that in
case the communication will be clear than this will result in effective working and
attainment of business objectives. In case communication will be clear than each and
every team member will be clearly knowing what they need to do (Aaberg and et.al.,
2019). Hence, as a result of this, there will be smooth working and all objectives of the
business will be attained.

 Moreover, for improving the team work, the manager of company must conduct frequent
recognition program. This is necessary because of the reason that in case the recognition
will be provided to the team members then this will motivate them to work in better and
effective manner (Walliser and et.al., 2019). The reason behind this fact that in case
working will not be good then they will not be provided with the recognition. Hence, this
strategy of recognition program will motivate the team members to work hard in order to
get reward and recognition. Another strategy for improving the team work in Morrison will include the taking of
frequent feedback. This is a good strategy because in case the feedback is taken
frequently then this will be attracting the team members to work in better manner. The
reason pertaining to the fact is that in case the feedback will be taken then team members
will share their actual views relating to the team work. Hence, this will result in
development of team working and will improve the working to a great extent.
Hence, with the above strategies, Morrison can effectively improve the way in which team
works. With the use of the above strategies the company can improve the team working
capability and ultimately this will result in successful attainment of objectives of business
(O’Leary and et.al., 2019). without the effective team the working and objectives of the business
cannot be attained in proper and effective manner.
CONCLUSION
In the end the above report concluded that the use of team work is very important for the
success of the business. The reason behind this fact is that in case the team will not be working in
coordinating manner then this will result in ineffective working. The above report inferred that
the use of Tuckman team development theory is very important for the making of good team. In
case leader undertakes the use of this model then proper and good team is being created which
result in successful completion of objectives of business. also, it was seen that there are different
strategies through which the working in team can be improved by the managers. This various
strategy involves providing recognition, taking frequent feedback, frequent team working
meeting and follow up and many other strategies.
