Team interdependence:
The most intense form of interdependence results when completion of activities requires teamwork. Team interdependence exists when work is interactive or acted on jointly by members of different groups or units rather than simply being transferred back and forth. It is mainly used when an activity cannot be broken down easily into distinct tasks because there is uncertainty over what tasks have to be performed in order to accomplish the goal.
Teamwork requires plans, standardisation, mutual adjustment and most important direct contact among activity participants. Physical reparation makes co-ordination through teamwork difficult to accomplish.
The need for coordination of organizational activities is least with pooled interdependence, greater with sequential interdependence and greatest with reciprocal interdependence. As the need for coordination increases so does the difficulty of achieving it effectively. Similarly, increased specialization increases the need for coordination. But the greater the specialization, the more difficult it is for managers to coordinate the specialized activities of different units. People in specialized units tend to develop their own sense of the organizations goals and how to achieve them.
