The lines of authority and responsibility were established and clear. It now felt ironic that he was managing the consulting team that was going to help the organization become more group-oriented. In addition to the traditional hierarchy, with a manager and subordinates, he saw a need to introduce teams comprised of individuals from various work areas to help solve operational problems. He also felt that, for certain projects, there could be groups that function essentially independently, even taking on traditional management responsibilities such as hiring, planning, and scheduling. Plus, he
also saw real potential for special, temporary projects to be handled by groups that would disband once the task was completed.A group of permanent employees who work towards providing solutions to clients on a regular basis reports directly to David. This group can be called a ________ .
