Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dom will be working on a temporary, part-time team that is studying a specific issue (compensation policy) and is separate from his regular job duties, which is characteristic of a parallel team. A work team is a group of individuals who work together on a regular basis to achieve common goals, while a management team consists of high-level executives who are responsible for making strategic decisions. A focus group is a research tool used to gather feedback on a specific product or service, while an interest group is a collection of individuals who share a common goal or interest and work together to achieve it.
