Abstract
In this paper a synopsis of team research is made to establish some basic concepts relative to the area of team performance. Based upon the resultant information, a model of team performance is proposed and its relationship to training indicated. One of the variables of this model task function design is discussed in detail to encourage future research associated with it. Based upon the concepts introduced some broad research directions are suggested. The interactive aspects of the team model may hold the key to team training. Team performance is an area of growing interest and concern which will require an increased research emphasis to understand the basic concepts. Although the perspective of team performance research has been curtailed in the past, we stand on the brink of new and exciting discoveries in the future.
