摘要：Teams do not always provide the diversity of knowledge, attitudes, skills and experience required to generate an innovative
response to challenges or perform according to expectations. This paper summarizes the key results of research on work
teams carried out over the decade from 1999 to 2009. To this end, we set out a brief explanatory framework for the
effectiveness of work teams based on a differentiated analysis of inputs, mediators and outcomes. Our approach uses the
SWOT technique, which identifies strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in relation to teamwork research for the
new decade. Finally, we integrate and discuss the key challenges facing the field if it is to turn threats into opportunities
