9. STAGESOF GROUPDEVELOPEMENT

13. • Formal group
• Command group
• Committees
• Informal group

14. Formal group is a group which is defined by the
organizational structure. After planning, the
organization group the activities and put those under a
formal structure, deciding their goals and objectives
and strategies to achieve the same. Formal group
members report to their superiors and interact with
each other to achieve the common goals.
Usually a formal group comprises those whose nature
of job is more or less homogeneous.

15. This group is also known as task group. A task is
defined as cross-functional activities, carried out by
group members to accomplish a common goal. A team
represents the nature of a command group. A
command group can be formed by drawing members
from various formal groups. For example, to achieve
success in new product launches, organizations may
form a command group. Once the task is achieved,
group members may be sent back to their specific
formal groups.

16. To achieve results, organizations often form
permanent or temporary committees, drawing
members from various formal groups.
Committees also represent the presence of
cross-functional members. While for a
command group, goals may be specific, for
committees, it is varied. Such committees may
be permanent in nature.

17. Informal groups are the groups which are formed
within a formal organizational structure. Informal
group members primarily meet the social or affiliation
needs sharing their commons interests. It is developed
somewhat naturally among people. They are not as
rigid or as structured as other types of groups and are
not formed due to any type of organizational structure
or need. For example a group of individuals at work
that all like playing chess, they might get together at
lunch to do so from time to time.
