Abstract
The author overviews an emerging prescriptive theory of team design. The objective of this theory is to define procedures whereby one can design a team that performs predictably well. This theory prescribes a procedure for converting descriptions of the decision situations that a team will face into a well-defined team architecture and set of decision procedures for each team member. In addition, the prescriptive theory makes precise predictions of team performance and the conditions under which team performance will degrade
