Which term best describes a group of people who work together toward a shared objective?

• A. Strategy
• B. Team
• C. Supplier relationship management
• D. Staff management

Answer: (B)

A team is a group of people who work together toward a shared objective. This means they coordinate their efforts, rely on each other’s contributions, and align on a common goal, with roles and responsibilities that support the collective outcome. The other terms describe things rather than the group itself: a strategy is the plan for how to reach goals, not the people collaborating; supplier relationship management is a function focused on managing external suppliers; staff management covers overseeing employees and HR processes, not forming a group with a single objective. A practical example is a cross-functional team collaborating to design, build, and launch a new product feature, all pulling toward that common goal.
