1. Task Force - a temporary team assembled to investigate a specific issue or problem.

2. Problem Solving Team - a temporary team assembled to solve a specific problem.

3. Product Design Team - a temporary team assembled to design a new product or service.

4. Committee - a temporary or permanent group of people assembled to act upon some matter.

5. Work Group - a permanent group of workers who receive direction from a designated leader.

6. Work Team (also called Self-Directed Work Team or Self-Managed Work Team) - an ongoing group of workers who share a common mission who collectively manage their own affairs within predetermined boundaries.

7. Quality Circle (today also under various other names) - a group of workers from the same functional area who meet regularly to uncover and solve work-related problems and seek work improvement opportunities.

The name of the group or team type is less important than the purpose for which it exists. These names simply give us a common language to help us define team types.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Primary groups
• Groups consisting of intimate, face-to-face interaction and relatively long-lasting relationships.
• Expressive needs intimacy, companionship and emotional support, provided by primary groups.
Secondary groups
• Groups with large membership, less intimate and less long lasting.
Reference groups
• Serve as a standard evaluating values, attitudes, and behaviors.
In-group
• An in-group is a social group towards which an individual feels loyalty and respect, usually due to membership in the group. This loyalty often manifests itself as an ingroup bias. Commonly encountered ingroups include family members, people of the same race or religion.

Out- group
• An out-group is a social group towards which an individual feels contempt, opposition, or a desire to compete. Members of out-groups may be subject to out-group homogeneity biases, and generally people tend to privilege ingroup members over out-group members in many situations.

Social Groups
• While all groups will have both social and task dimensions, some groups are predominantly social in their orientation. Examples of these groups would be families and social clubs. These groups provide for our safety and solidarity needs and they help us to develop self- esteem.
