Chapter 1 - Mini Case

Chapter 1 of Reference: Thompson, L. L. (2018). Making the team: A guide for managers. Pearson

Sherman Marketing has a large client in the restaurant industry. They are opening a new location based on Vegan Cuisine and are asking for a new advertising plan. You have given this task to your best team. The team consists of 4 long standing members: Atria, Bob, Cara, and Donovan. The team has worked together for nearly a decade, is a top performing team, and has little if any direct supervision from management. As with many companies post pandemic, the team members are continuing to work from home and meet via zoom as needed. When you scheduled a meeting to go over the new assignment, only Amy and Bob were in attendance. The others replied that they now live in difference time zones and would catch up via email later with Atria and Bob. Atria and Bob seem fine with this and said that they are used to meeting as only two with the others on email almost exclusively.
