The team-based organizational model allows different departments to communicate freely. Having a representative from each department participate in the team decision-making process, allows the departments to work together for a common goal. The amount of time it takes to make a decision is much faster with a team-based approach. Employees feel like they have a voice so they are more motivated to accomplish their tasks. The need for a multi-level management tier is replaced by workers, therefore the company's administrative costs are lowered, according to cliffsnotes.com.
