Communication and collaboration are both essential elements in an organization’s strategic objectives, daily functionalities, and their ability to gain a competitive advantage. Kudler Fine Foods’ ability to communicate closely together as well as collaborate in their operative functions are impressive; however, an action plan that focuses on improving communication, along with lateral and vertical collaboration within Kudler’s employees would prove to be beneficial to the success of the company. Benefits that Kudler could obtain are the elimination of errors or mistakes that occur because of the lack of communication between Kudler’s Administrative departments, store managers, department managers, and hourly employees; an increase in response time; more effective inventory control; a greater satisfaction among Kudler’s employees and customers.…
When it comes to teamwork, most people will consider teamwork in terms of being part of a baseball, basketball, or football team. In contrast, a team is “really just a group of people who use their skills, experience, and knowledge to work toward a common goal” (Beverly K. Bachel, 2007).

A team is a collection of individuals who have gathered to achieve the same…

David R. Seibold and Paul Kang’s “Using Critical Praxis To Understand and Teach Teamwork” is driven by a logical appeal by using various articles and readings in order to point out the gaps between the academic teaching and theories of teamwork and the actual practice of teamwork. This can be seen as they used supporting research to indicate the discrepancies between the different teambuilding concepts as they explain both the predominant and less obvious approaches in understanding the concept of teamwork.…

Writing a collaborated paper could also be considered a learning experience, members can learn from others, members from different backgrounds and culture can be really helpful to have a mix of ideas to be included in the paper. To others, a collaborated paper could be a huge headache and very difficult to do due the disagreement by the members and all the ideas by each one of them. Every person is different, and so are the ideas. Each member has a different opinion, thoughts, and different way to see things. We might not agree in some things with others during the process, arguments, yelling, and discussions are more likely to happen, so a plan and a team leader is recommended to ensure things run smoothly before they can get out of hand. Numerous amount of ideas are brought up to the table and each member explain his or her point of view to the rest of the members, some might have suggestions and some might agree, not 100 %, but at least some of the members are on the same page.

Obstacles may cause a collaboration to terminate at any stage of the collaboration continuum. The rate of at which the termination happens varies according to the original time that was invested into the collaboration. At the philanthropic stage, failure may prevent the coalition from beginning at all, or indicate that it was not started with all the right elements in place to ensure its continuation. Coalitions that fail at the Implementation phase may have misjudged what was needed to address the goals they selected, or failed to develop the internal processes to manage the actual work that was to begin. At the transitional phase, failure may result from the loss of momentum toward goals, loss of commitment by members or resources to sustain their collaborative effort. In the integrative stage, the demise may occur because the work is no longer compelling or the participants are no longer as involved and there are no replacements…
Collaboration is multidimensional. It can occur in both face-to-face encounters and electronically via fast paced interactions such as voice mail and email. In whatever place or form, collaboration involves an exchange of views and ideas that considers the perspectives of all the collaborators, whether or not agreement is reached in the interaction (Coeling & Cukr, 1997). It is necessary to define what is not implied by the term collaboration '. It does not imply supervision nor is it simply a one-way or two-way information exchange. Effective professional collaborative relationships require mutual respect (Kramer & Schmalenberg, 2003). Collaboration may seem idealistic and perhaps even…
