The performance advantages of teams over individuals are most evident in three situations: 1) when there is no clear "expert" for a particular task, 2) when the problems are complex and require a division of labor, and 3) when a riskier decision need be made.

Performance Advantages

The superior outcomes or benefits that an individual, team, or organization achieves relative to competitors due to effective strategies, skills, or processes.

Division Of Labor

The allocation of different parts of a manufacturing process or task to different individuals in order to improve efficiency and productivity.

Riskier Decision

A choice made under conditions of uncertainty with the potential for significant loss or gain, often involving a trade-off between potential outcomes.
