Abstract
The attached draft is a report on a research project for the Project Organization Task Force. The Task Force has been interested in the problems of teamwork and organization. This research project examines how corporate manuals direct the organization of projects and support the development of teams. The research project began with the plan to see how owners and contractors built project teams. The Project Organization Task Force defined a team as "a group of people who could get more done working together than working alone". The definition includes groups within the boundaries of one corporation and those which span corporate boundaries.
