Identify a team in which you have had many opportunities to participate, observe, and interact.This team does not necessarily need to be from industry; however, please review the concepts below that you will be required to discuss prior to selecting the team you wish to cover.The list of concepts may help you select or eliminate certain teams.The team you choose should have been in existence over a reasonable period in order for you to discuss team development and to have specific examples to support your conclusions.If you have never personally participated in a team suited for this activity, you may select a team in which you were not a member and interview two (2) or more team members.In your interviews, you should focus on each of the concepts below that will then be developed into an essay.You should not simply ask, “What type of team is this?” because many people are not familiar with the terms you have learned in this course.Rather, you should ask more general questions such as, “Are each of the team members in the same department, or are they in different departments?Are all members in one location?Do team members meet in person, or is their communication only via e-mail, voicemail, or teleconferencing?”After identifying a team, write an essay describing that team with the concepts presented in the text.The objective of your essay is to demonstrate that you understand the concepts and that you can apply them to a real-world situation; therefore, you should discuss/explain each of the following five (5) concepts and then relate your team to each concept using examples.Provide two (2) or three (3) examples for each concept.1.Type of Team:functional team, cross-functional team, self-managed team, virtual team, or global team2.Team members’ characteristics, including expertise and functional experience3.Team culture and how it affects their ability to implement employee participation 4.Team challenges: developing groupthink, presence of free-riders, negativity, and lack of trust5.Team leadership and how it affects employee participation(A 4-page response is required.)

This project offers you opportunity to interview someone coming from a different (national) culture. You will find someone coming from a different culture to conduct the interview with. During this interview, you will invite your interviewee to talk about his/her experience moving from their home culture to the US and how they’ve settled down here. When it is your turn to be the interviewee, you can adjust the following suggested questions as much as possible to share your experience travelling abroad, or some of your thoughts and ideas you had towards your interviewee’s home culture.When you interview your partner, you are encouraged to select questions from the following list:1) Do you still remember your first day here? What had been exciting and what had been unexpected?2) How long have you been in the US now? What has been the highlight and what do you enjoy most? What has been frustrating? Do you have any stories to tell?3) What would be a typical day back in your home country and how would you compare it to a typical day you have here?4) Let’s go back to the days when you made decision to move over to the US. What had been the motivations for you to move? Would you make similar decision again? Or would you rather not? How would you imagine your life back in your home country if you hadn’t come?5) What was your impression about American culture before you came? How was that impression formed? Did you found those impressions accurate or not after you got here? Is there anything here that you feel that one has to be here in order to learn or feel?6) What do people here know about your home culture? What could be one impression that is accurate? What could be one impression that is not accurate? What do you think can be the reason for either case?Not every culture values an elaborative communication style. To encourage details, skillful interviewers usually follow up with the original question to get the conversation going.Your journal is not your interview transcript, however. Instead of reading the verbatem of what you talked about, I want to know how you relate your interview back to the worldviews of yours and your interviewee's culture. I want to know how you compare and contrast between those and identify both similaries and differences.You will respond to the following:World views (5 pt)What are the eight pairs of world view continuum?Please cite their definitions from the textbook.Please identify one pair of world view continuum that you believe have been reflected through your interview.
