Abstract
Team management on flat organization has been studied and has increasingly reconfirmed the importance of teamwork recently. A quantification of teamwork has already been devised and a relationship between teamwork scores and productivity has been shown. Those surveys were based on Group Dynamics and introduced activity in the manufacturing plants to bottom line workers and staff members. This paper analyzes the relationship between teamwork scores and team achievement in a management simulation before real activity will be tested in the industrial world. Moreover, achievement of all team was decided and arranged in order for every term according to various financial indices (Return on Investments : ROI, Turnover Rate of Assets : TOA, Ratio of Profit to Net Sales : ROS). Cumulative scores decided the final order of each team in the total management activity throughout approximately ten years. This research used and considered five years' data for management simulation from 1994 to 1998. The total number of teams was 100, and the number of student answers was 493. To confirm a clearer difference, this paper extracted and evaluated some teams from all with Good-Poor Analysis. They are the four most significant groups and the four lowest ranking groups each year. The high achievement groups numbered 20 teams and student answers, 102. Moreover, there were 20 teams and 96 answers in the low achievement groups are over the five years. In conclusion, the following hypotheses were adopted and became the indicator of real management activity. Hypothesis : High achievement group's awareness of teamwork is higher than that of the low achievement group (average value). Hypothesis : High achievement groups have divergence-stratified type and low achievement groups have factional type of organization among team members (cluster analysis).
