Abstract

The problem of optimal team size has important theoretical and applied significance for modern management. The article presents historical generalizations linking the size of the team with the results of its activities. The authors proposed and analyzed the principle of the target command function, which allows to estimate the optimal size of the team. The model is constructed; and the optimal size of teams for commercial and non-profit organizations in Russia is calculated. The theoretical principle of optimal team size is applied to team building, with a specific result for team size in the commercial and non-commercial sectors. It is also important to conclude that the optimal size of the team in non-profit organizations is larger than the teams of the commercial sector. The article is of interest to researchers in the field of management, human resources and personnel management.
