Group Behaviour and Team Development in Organizations

\
In an organisation the people work either in groups
or individually so that the company goals and
objectives can be efficiently achieved. Their
behaviour and performance in the organisation
affects the company profits and also the ability of
the company to serve its customers the goods and
services which they need and want which will help
it in building the brand image of the company. The
coordination, cooperation and collaboration of all
the group members is important so that they can
work together in order to achieve the company
goals on time. This can be achieved by managing
the actions of the people in the group and directing
them appropriately so that they can all work
together and the conflicts among them can be
significantly reduced. The topic taken for the poster
is group behaviour and team development within
organisations and the company taken is Tesco plc
which is a British multinational retailer of groceries
