interdependent

Examples of interdependent in the following topics:

• Modular Structure

  • Interdependence among the units is limited because the focus of many SBUs is more inward than outward and because loyalty within SBUs tends to be very strong.
  • Although modules are not generally interdependent, the modular organization is extremely flexible.
  • An organization can also fill its own corporate needs internally by creating a new modular department, which can operate interdependently with the whole.

• Differences Between Groups and Teams

  • Degree of interdependence: Team members are interdependent since they bring to bear a set of resources to produce a common outcome.

• Building a Culture of High Performance

  • There is a strong sense of both results-orientation and employee interdependence.
  • A high-performing team is best defined as a group of interdependent employees whose skills and personalities complement one another and lead to above-average operational results.

• Defining Teamwork

  • Teamwork involves a set of interdependent activities performed by individuals who collaborate toward a common goal.

• Common Causes of Team Conflict

  • While these can affect coordination of interdependent tasks, they can especially inhibit direct collaboration.

• Team Cohesiveness

  • Some suggest that cohesiveness among group members develops from a heightened sense of belonging, as well as from collaboration and interdependence.

• Accountability in Teams

  • Since team tasks are interdependent, the quality of one person's work affects that of the others.

• CPM and PERT Charts

  • It is particularly useful for projects that have interdependent steps and/or processes.
  • The cumulative process of transforming various independent efforts into an interdependent value-added proposition is often complex; CPM/PERT charts allow project managers to visualize tasks chronologically.

• The Impact of Interpersonal Conflict on Team Performance

  • Communication can suffer when people withdraw their attention or participation, leading to poor coordination of interdependent tasks.

• How Values Influence Behavior

  • Culture is also largely relevant to how values shape behavior, as a given organizational culture can create camaraderie and social interdependence.
