Identifies characteristics distinguishing formal teams from informal work groups.

A formal team differs from informal work groups. Which of the following does NOT describe a formal team?

B   It has a clear set of work tasks, with specific objectives.

C   It is not organised by management and has no specific objective or tasks.

D   It has a formal existence – members have formal roles and job titles.

C

Explanation:
A formal team is organized by management with specific objectives, tasks, and roles, as described in options A, B, and D.
