The work of small non-manufacturing employee teams is becoming more and more crucial for achieving organization goals. Since the teams function as complex social groups, it is necessary to understand the complexities of teamwork dynamics and their impact on the effectiveness of teams and the organization as a whole. The management of organization plays a vital role in successful implementation of the principles of teamwork dynamics into the organization processes and their effective management. Management dictates the most important and strategic aspects of teamwork such as the team management style, the degree of team autonomy, team composition methods, the coordination strategy of different teams and the most important rules of team behaviour.Depending on circumstances and the type of organization, the logistic teams can represent some of the most important teams inside the organization. While many principles, rules and methods used during teamwork processes are universal and can improve teamwork in all the types of non-manufacturing teams, the unique nature of logistic teams requires certain modifications and specialization of team management processes. The main goal of this paper is to present the most common and widely used theoretical frameworks of teamwork and teamwork dynamics, confront them with the unique nature of logistic teams and suggest how to modify it to these special conditions.
