Smith "Reduced number of people with complementary skills who are committed to a purpose, a job objective and a common planning and shared mutual responsibility." For his part, Luis Riquelme Fritz defines it as: "Teamwork is a group of people together to achieve a single overall outcome" interested in topical note, to take into account that teamwork has become in recent years, one of the workhorses of the "gurus" of the administration, along with process reengineering, strategic planning, etc..
