Be it in the field of business, politics, education or sports, it is teamwork that builds camaraderie and trust among the members.

The burgeoning size of business has led to the change—from proprietary firms to the rise of large corporations. The corporate sector, by its very nature, functions on team work. "While the organization is hub of all activities, the teams are the spokes which generate output. Teamwork can yield much more than a sum of individual efforts simply due to organized efforts and streamlined work processes. Work efficiency is enhanced and needless multiplication of processes is eliminated."

A team is comprised of individuals who come together to accomplish a common goal. The individuals in a team are found to be interdependent, and can be seen by themselves and observers as a team. Teams existing within the organization interact with other teams of the organization to exchange views about a bigger team, i.e., the organization itself. Teams keep their members updated about the latest developments occurring within the organization, so that they feel involved and accountable in achieving the organizational goals. In addition, the team members are provided immense opportunities to work with varied groups and promote cross-cultural harmony within the organization.
