Module content:
Team and project work are not new concepts in entrepreneurial organisation, but in many companies the question still arises as to how team efficiency and effectiveness can be improved. Teams per se are no guarantee for the successful completion of complex tasks, but team members and team leaders can significantly influence team performance.   Successful team management is a central management task, especially in an international context.
