Abstract: Cross-functional teams represent a characteristic of the new organization form of the enterprises, imposed by the complexity of the present environment. Regardless their kind, the new organization forms are based on the cross-functional teams as an innovation source and reunion of competences. Only by the medium of the cross-functional teams, the new organizational partnerships obtain flexibility in their actions and fastness in their reactions. By their features, the cross-functional teams should be differentiated from any kind of workgroup. What makes them different is the common effort carried to reach the common objective of the team. The present paper presents two research models for the efficiency of the cross-functional teams, respectively inputprocess- output and input--mediator-outcome models. These show the factors on which cross-functional teams’ managers should action to obtain superior economic performances.
