Scenario Information An American Internet Technology company has merged with a Canadian Social Media company.

Make sure you address the following in your presentation as you will be giving it to the management team: Introduce the characteristics of a high performing team. Discuss best practices for managing conflict and fostering collaboration. How does effective goal-setting drive productivity?
