Abstract :

Teams are defined as high performing task groups whose members are actively interdependent and share common performance objectives. This definition suggests that only those groups who perform at high levels due to their collective efforts must be considered as teams. In this paper, a model has been presented for de-termining the effects of information technology in the output of teamwork with Y structure for particular productive organizations.
