Abstract: Groups and teams within the organizations represent a widespread subject of research nowadays. But there are aspects that still need to be considered, especially in a global economy which brings along new opportunities and challenges. In this context, in the present paper we aim to clarify the differences between formal group, informal group and team, but mostly between group work and team work, as different work styles in organization. We also point out the consequences of using the wrong type of work style in a specific task situation which is particularly important in actual global work environment.
