Mints International $($MI$)$ has recently implemented the team approach to accomplishing the tasks and goals at all of its divisions. The company has developed a color code for different teams. Members of Gold Teams work together on an ongoing basis to produce the mints. Silver Teams are responsible for coordinating the activities of its marketing, production, finance, and human resources functions. In the production department, MI has created a special team that consists of individirals who normally perform core production tasks, but also meet regularly to identify production$-$related problems and opportunities for improvement. This team is called the Red Team. Finally, MI has created the Blue Teams. These teams take on "one$-$time" tasks that are generally complex and require a lot of input from members with different types of training and expertise. A good example of a Blue Team at MI is a product design team that it created for entering a new foreign market.
