2 The T Aerospace company in the early stages of planning the development of latest
commercial jet, the 007. The aircraft industry is a fiercely competitive one, dominated by a few
large global players who operate at the forefront of technology. In this industry, competitors
quickly copy and advance in technology or new management technique that might provide
them with P/ID 37503/PBAC 3 competitive edge. Some of the T Aerospace Company’s
competitors have adopted team working as means of speeding up their development and
production process. The T Aerospace Company is thus considering the adoption of team
working in its operations but some of the traditionalists in the company are doubtful. They are
concerned that the benefits of work specialization will be lost. Some of the managers have had
negative experiences with team working and so have strong reservations about the proposed
changes.
1) List the four key components involved in making an effective team.
2) Identify the benefits that the T Aerospace Company can expect to gain from the adoption
of team working.
3) Describe the difficulties that the company is likely to encounter in the management of its
teams and recommend ways to turn individuals into team players.

3 If group decisions consistently achieve better quality outcomes than those achieved by
individuals, how did the phrase “a camel is a horse designed by a committee” become so

4 Working with others is not always easy. Simply working in the same group or for the same
company does not guarantee that people will be motivated to work together. Different
individuals will have different work ethics, will be looking to satisfy different needs from work,
and will have their own ways of doing things. There is no guarantee that a work group will
function smoothly or cohesively.
1) Do you think group efforts are not successful?
How will you substantiate designing jobs around group is necessary?
