Team Selection Process

Below is a HYPOTHETICAL situation. You are not ACTUALLY completing a team marketing project. Instead I am asking you to consider how you WOULD structure a team (based on the best practices outlined in the module) if you were put on such a team. You do not need to follow APA style for this assignment.

You are assigned a project for your Marketing class in the MBA Program. The project is team based. There is one deliverable, a (virtual) presentation to the professor and other members of the class. You have 15 weeks from the start of the semester until the project is due. Your team has five members who are from different educational and work backgrounds. No “leader” is assigned. How you choose to set up your team, the processes you use, and the tools/technology you use is up to you.

Based on the podcasts, readings, slides, etc. from this Module please outline how you would structure your virtual team to ensure the highest level of performance and effectiveness from your team? Make sure to consider factors such as timelines/deadlines, task assignments, communication processes, accountability, norms, etc. There is no specific requirement with respect to “length of answers”; However to fully answer this case application you must provide sufficient detail and explanations (i.e., a few sentences is most likely insufficient).
