Please let me know where and when can we all meet to do the H.W.. I do not have you emails.

H.W.:
Team Contract Assignment
BUS 1.0


Objective:

To prepare you for the teamwork required in business school and later in the business world, you have been assigned to work on an industry team for the semester. Together, your team will work to complete the collaborative projects in BUS 1.0 including a team blog, a team paper (draft and final), and a team presentation.

To set your team up for success, you are now tasked with developing a team contract. To complete such a contract requires team members to discuss and negotiate the terms upon which they will work together. This process will help you to clearly establish your mutual expectations, assign roles and responsibilities, and establish the necessary procedures to meet your team goals.

Team Contract Assignment

Your team contract is divided into three major sections:

1. team procedures
2. expectations
3. accountability


By outlining your expectations in your contract, you will be more likely to prevent misunderstandings as you go about your work together. Therefore, in each of the following sections be sure to specify each task, the person(s) responsible, and any negotiated timeframes.

Use the Team Contract template to discuss and finalize your team roles, procedures, and standards. Each question requires a concise 1-2 sentence answer. Complete, sign, and submit one copy of your finalized contract to your section TA by class time on September 30, 2010.

Once you have completed your team contract, you should refer to the document when conflicts arise. Call a team meeting immediately to discuss and resolve the challenges your team is facing; do not delay. Seek guidance from your Professor or TA to resolve any conflicts so that you will have the most positive team experience possible. If some aspect of your team contract needs to be renegotiated, you are welcome to do that. Please submit any changes to your team contract that are made over the course of the semester to your TA. When you evaluate your team at the end of the semester, one of the questions you will respond to will be how well the contract was followed by the team members.
