MGT 5170: Entrepreneurial and Strategic Thinking
Team MGT 5170: Entrepreneurial and Strategic Thinking Team A Charter and Team Orientation Activity Team Number: Team A Team Members: Goal #1: Team Charter Mission Statement The mission of Team A is to work collaboratively, respectfully, and strategically to successfully complete all team assignments for MGT. Our team is committed to combining the individual knowledge, skills, experiences, and perspectives of each member to produce high-quality work that demonstrates strategic and entrepreneurial thinking. We will create an environment in which every member feels comfortable contributing ideas, asking questions, providing feedback, and participating in team decisions. Our goal is not only to achieve strong academic performance but also to strengthen our teamwork, communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills. Team Norms Team A agrees to follow these expectations throughout the course: Treat every team member with professionalism, respect, and consideration. Listen to each member’s ideas without interrupting or dismissing their perspective. Encourage open and honest communication. Provide constructive and respectful feedback. Complete assigned responsibilities accurately and by agreed-upon deadlines. Communicate as early as possible if a member anticipates difficulty completing an assignment or attending a scheduled meeting. Attend scheduled team meetings prepared to participate. Start and end meetings on time whenever possible. Review relevant materials before meetings. Remain focused on the purpose of each meeting. Support other team members when reasonable and necessary for the success of the group. Hold each member accountable while maintaining a positive and supportive team environment. Respect differences in opinions, experiences, schedules, and working styles. Ensuring Individual Contributions Are Considered Team A recognizes that effective teamwork requires participation from every member. Each team member will be given an equal opportunity to contribute ideas, recommendations, and concerns before major decisions are made. Members may share suggestions during meetings, through WhatsApp, email, or shared documents. No idea will be automatically dismissed without reasonable consideration. When reviewing suggestions, the team will evaluate the idea based on its relevance to the assignment, course requirements, supporting evidence, feasibility, and potential contribution to the quality of the team’s work rather than on which team member presented the idea. Managing Ideas and Suggestions New ideas and suggestions will first be presented to the entire team for discussion. Each team member will have an opportunity to ask questions, recommend changes, or suggest alternatives. Whenever possible, Team A will attempt to reach a consensus. If consensus cannot be reached within a reasonable amount of time, the issue will be decided through a democratic majority vote. Each team member will receive one vote. Once a final decision has been made, all members agree to support the team’s decision even if their preferred option was not selected. Communication Plan Team A will use WhatsApp, email, Canvas, and virtual meetings for communication. WhatsApp WhatsApp will serve as the team’s primary method for routine communication, scheduling, reminders, quick questions, and assignment updates. Email school email may be used when formal communication, detailed information, important documents, or information requiring a permanent record needs to be shared.
