Résumé
Teams do not always provide the diversity of knowledge, attitudes, skills and experience required to generate an innovative response to challenges or perform according to expectations. This paper summarizes the key results of research on work teams carried out over the decade from 1999 to 2009. To this end, we set out a brief explanatory framework for the effectiveness of work teams based on a differentiated analysis of inputs, mediators and outcomes. Our approach uses the SWOT technique, which identifies strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in relation to teamwork research for the new decade. Finally, we integrate and discuss the key challenges facing the field if it is to turn threats into opportunities.
