Question: Meeting # 4 ( three weeks later ) : Everyone brings a sample of their prototype to the meeting and everyone samples what has been

Meeting #4(three weeks later): Everyone brings a sample of their prototype to the meeting and everyone samples what has been created. Additionally, they invite the marketing director and the packaging specialist to come in and sample the prototypes as well. They all agree that the prototypes are very tasty and should be successful. They decide that they will package the meal with the six-pack of limeade, using the new marketing labels that Ferris and Dennis worked on. The marketing department, with help from Ferris, will submit it to the New Product Development Director for approval along with a breakdown of the costs, which Ferris and May will work on.
Two weeks later, they submit the products with the costs breakdown along with the projected profits from the marketing department, to the Director in the conference room as a team. The prototype is a success and everyone is praised by the Director for doing a stellar job.
The company decides to make these four employees a permanent new product team. The team members become disheartened as they like their current jobs, and they feel that they do not have the power to make some of the decisions that will need to be made. They feel their reward for doing a good job has been to give them a different job that they did not choose.
Analyze where each stage of team development in the scenario meetings begins for forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. Explain your reasoning.
Provide the role that each team member played (see Chapter 11, Positive versus Negative Group Member Roles, p.248).
