This is a group assessment, and you will need to form a group of 4-6 students. You
will work together to complete this management report.
First select one of the following organisations:
‣Nike
‣Volkswagen
‣Starbucks
‣UWS
‣Morrisons
‣Oxfam
‣NHS Scotland

Your task is to Explain the organisational context of your chosen organisation, consider how teams/groups are currently used within the organisation;
and assess the advantages and disadvantages of the current approach in the
given context. Consider key aspects which explain the success of failure of
groups/teams in the selected context. This should be supported by relevant
literature on groups/teams. Consider the following aspects of organisational
behaviour:
✓Strategy and structures,
✓Communication and conflict,
✓Organisational culture,
✓Leadership.
You should make recommendations on how the use of those groups/teams can
be improved in that organisation and justify these.
