Team Swot Case

Individual Project Teams

Introduction

Before getting involved in a real cross culture team, I have never thought about I will be under the situation that several problems would have come up. Communication exerts significant impact on team efficiency. After three semesters in US classes, I realize that team activity is really emphasized, since the power of a team could create, in general, would be larger than any individual, which may be the primary cause of team forming. The most impressive team I have experienced is the working team formed randomly by the instructor of economics and demographic of labor market, in order to figure out the effectiveness of a specific HR policy under the assumption of a specific economic theory. What we choose is the day care policy because some research shows that talent women tend to take care of their children when they have to make decision between whether to take family responsibility and whether to chase for career achievement. In addition, we use indifferent curves and substitution effect to explain how the HR policy will work for organizations to retain their talent women employees. I have two other team members, one is a girl S from Germany and the other is from Taiwan, who named H. Our assignment is to make our ideas and analysis into a professional paper, which is rational and logical enough to present the audiences with deep impression that the combination is a perfect match.

Basic Information for team

We have formed a work team that performs the work that constitutes the core transformation processes of the class, which has a legitimacy that stems from their mission. Although it is not a formal work team in an organization, it represents the core spirit of a work team.

Our mission is to finish a paper in a combination of economic theory and labor market analysis. Randomly made by the instructor, our team would be a temporary team mainly focuses on our assignment.

As we all agree with, our tone of the team is fair and share, therefore, we tend to make the task interdependence. Before starting the whole task, we have to discuss our target labor groups and available economic theory, with a strong agreement on deciding which direction to go is rather significant. In addition, the type of interdependence in our team is a mixture of sequential and pooled interdependence. For some part of our paper, it is sequential, for instance, the participation rate of women labor should be identify first before we can choose the meaningful theory and HR policy. On the other hand, the pooled interdependence part appears when we have equipped with sufficient research resource related to the labor market data, economic theory knowledge and HR policies. Then we
