Final assignment

Our team name is H2O international. It represents the combine of two different kinds of element, H and O. Two male members in this team study high-tech engineering, while the girl studies organization management. The two boys have a better sense of logic and the girl is proficient in literature, which can highly improve the group work by building a well organizing construct with a professional point of view. During our collaboration, the boys deal with obstacles by solving three questions—“what is the obstacle, what is the reason, which is the best solution”. And the girl make great contribute to the assignments with her comprehends understand of the course.

With the difference in the background, we hope to generate unique and comprehends ideas. Unfortunately, this is it that caused most of our conflicts within the team.

The diversity of education background brings us the benefits as well as the risks. Due to the diversity, we have some conflicts (Friction or opposition resulting from actual or perceived differences or incompatibilities.) which can be classified into three dimensions as bellow

1. Schedule conflicts

Different schedules lead to different priority of ranking the tasks and meeting organization.

2. Different understanding about the case at discussion

When discussion which case to choose and how to describe and analysis a case, we tend to focus on different aspects. 

3. Task choosing preference

Everyone has the preference of what to do. Most of the time, the distribution among team was good. But some time there was a situation that one task was chosen by 2 members so that one task had been left without owner.

When individual had different ideas, our team members were encouraged to share them. We believe that effective communication and teamwork is essential for the delivery of high quality. Of course communication is not only communication. We used valid skills and some principles. The way we used most is brain storm which is a very effective resolution when we have objections.

The more details will be shown on our individual blogs.
