This activity is important because as a manager and team member, you should be aware of the types of task interdependence and how they impact team performance. Task interdependence refers to how team members interact to share task$-$related information and resources. Although there is no one right way to design teams in regard to task interdependence, there are trade$-$offs associated with each type.

The goal of this activity is to demonstrate your knowledge about types of task interdependence by matching each type to a team scenario. Consider that you were recently promoted to regional manager of College Ads, Inc. You are now responsible for teams throughout the southeast region of the United States After a brief meeting with each team, you realize that they function differently. One of the most jarring differences is the amount of interaction between group members and how they share information. You are now reviewing your notes so you can better understand how each team's tasks are organized.

Read the description of each team by rolling over its location. Then match each to the appropriate type of team interdependence.
