Compare team development in an organization to sports such as baseball, football, and basketball. ...

Answer to #1

Sports, such as baseball, football, and basketball, provide some useful parallels for understanding the workings of teams in other types of organizations. Organizations can use sport teams as a model for their organization. Baseball is a game where team member contributions are somewhat independent of each other. Players are separated geographically and each player comes to bat one at a time. Football involves sequential interdependence where there is a flow of plays. The players are closer geographically than baseball and there is a greater degree of interdependence. Players are normally grouped together functionally (i.e., offense and defense) and do not contact one another. All players on the field are involved in every play. Basketball exhibits the highest degree of interdependence. The players are closely grouped together and the team moves together on the court. Each player is likely to contact any other player. All players are involved in offense, defense, and trying to score.

The reason for following the motto friends should not do business is defined by the fact that we should take care
of people we love, respond to their needs, and not keep track of who has contributed to what, but in negotiation
we are trying to maximize our own interests. Advantages: Friends are less competitive, exchange more information,
make more concessions, make fewer demands, and are more generous with one another. Disadvantages: Friends
are too willing to compromise or to engage in the firm flexibility maxim that is often required. When friends
compromise quickly because they want to avoid conflict and minimize threat of impasse, they are likely to leave
value on the table. The need for friends to maintain the illusion of agreement means that important differences in
preferences, interests, and beliefs are often downplayed or buried.
