A group that is like a work group but also pools knowledge, skills, and resources to achieve a common goal describes which term?

• A. Work Teams
• B. Work Groups
• C. Staff Positions
• D. Virtual Corporation

Answer: (A)

This item focuses on how a group becomes more than just a collection of individuals by combining their knowledge, skills, and resources to pursue a single objective. A work team is defined by interdependence and a shared goal, with members pooling expertise and coordinating activities so their combined effort yields a result they all own. That makes it the best fit for the description.

A work group may coordinate tasks but members typically work more independently and don’t rely on sharing resources in a tightly integrated way. Staff positions refer to specific roles within an organization, not a collaborative unit. A virtual corporation describes an organizational form that uses networks and outsourcing to operate, which isn’t the same as a single cohesive group working toward a common outcome.
