A hot topic in organizations is the development and use of teams within the organization, principally self-managed work teams. A reason habitually cited for support of these self-managed teams is that they reduce the number of managers required by an organization. Research the topic of teams, including compensation programs for teams. Describe the pros and cons of work teams using additional sources other than your textbook. Discuss the validation of the belief that they reduce the number of managers required by an organization. Include examples and points not in the textbook, and fully explain your reasons. Discourse the best compensation programs for a team environment using specific examples to support your answer.

Your paper must be between two to four pages. Use APA format, and cite references.
