Presentation Script: Teamwork and Teams at IU
[Slide 1 – Introduction]
Good morning/afternoon everyone,
Today, I will talk about teamwork and the different types of groups and teams at Interna
tional University, or IU. Teamwork is very common in modern organizations, and IU is
xception. Most jobs today require collaboration, coordination, and shared responsibility a
mong members to achieve common goals.
The main objectives of this presentation are:
To understand the types of groups in organizations.
To learn why people join groups.
To identify the characteristics of effective teams.
To understand the sources of conflict and how to manage them to improve team pe ormance.
In short, teamwork not only helps achieve better results but also encourages creativity, lear
ning, and stronger connections within an organization.
[Slide 2 – Types of Groups]
Let’s start with groups. At IU, there are several types of groups:
Functional groups – These are permanent and formal, such as the Office of Studen
Affairs, the Center for International Education Exchange, or academic faculties. They
handle core university functions like teaching, research, and student services.
Informal groups – These are spontaneous and form naturally, like student clubs, dor
mitory friends, or faculty circles. They are not part of the official structure but p
important role in social support and motivation.
Task groups – These are temporary groups created for specific purposes, like comm
tees organizing events such as the IU Innovation Camp or international conferences.
Once the task is completed, the group disbands.
Teams – These are autonomous work groups, such as research project teams or curr
iculum development teams across departments. They have high autonomy and collabo
rate closely to innovate and achieve shared goals.
[Slide 3 – Types of Teams]
Now let’s look at teams. Teams are more specialized and often focused on particular ob es:

Problem-solving teams – Committees addressing short-term issues, like student satis
faction or curriculum feedback. These teams are temporary and focus on quick, effe ive solutions.
Management teams – This includes the Board of Rectors and department heads. The
y coordinate strategic planning and decision-making at the university level.
Work teams – These are stable teams handling daily operations, such as lecturers an
d administrative staff. Members share responsibilities and work together to maintain onsistency.
Virtual teams – Online collaborations with international partners or remote teaching.
They work across time zones and rely heavily on digital technology.
Quality circles – Faculty and management teams focused on continuous improveme
nt, curriculum design, and teaching quality. Though less common, they promote inno vation and feedback.
[Slide 4 – IU Approach to Teamwork]
At IU, the combination of these groups and teams ensures both stability and flexibility:
Functional and work teams maintain day-to-day operations.
Task and problem-solving teams add flexibility for specific projects.
Virtual teams and quality circles promote innovation and improvement.
By organizing work this way, IU ensures that academic, administrative, and international
activities are handled efficiently while encouraging collaboration and learning.
[Slide 5 – Conclusion]
In conclusion, teamwork at IU is not just about completing tasks—it is about collaboratio
reativity, learning, and building strong connections.
Understanding the types of groups and teams, their roles, and how to manage conflicts effec
tively can help any organization or university achieve better results and foster a positive,
ductive work environment.
Thank you for your attention. I’m happy to answer any questions you may have.
