Small groups and teams are unique in that they involve direct interaction among a limited number of participants who work interdependently to achieve common goals. The theoretical perspectives on small groups - functional, symbolic interaction, and systems theory - focus on how groups form and operate, but differ in their levels of analysis from micro to macro. APA formatting should be applied.
