    Este trabajo de revisión tiene dos objetivos. En primer lugar, se analizan las potencialidades de las organizaciones-basadas-enequipos y de sus ventajas para el afrontamiento y la adaptación a entornos flexibles e inciertos. Y en segundo lugar, se examinan los efectos que estas condiciones y dinámicas organizacionales pueden ejercer sobre los procesos y los resultados grupales, dedicando especial atención a fenómenos como la reducción del tamaño del equipo, los cambios en la composición, los procesos de aprendizaje de equipo y otras disposiciones derivadas de los requerimientos de flexibilidad; asimismo, se analizan sus posibles consecuencias en relación con el rendimiento y la eficacia de los equipos. Finalmente, se resumen las principales implicaciones prácticas para el diseño de las organizaciones y la gestión de equipos de trabajo en contextos dinámicos y complejos caracterizados por altos niveles de incertidumbre y flexibilidad.

    This review paper aims, first, to analyze the potential of team-based-organizations and their advantages for coping and adapting to flexible and uncertain environments. And secondly, to examine the effects that organizational dynamics may have on group processes and outcomes, with particular emphasis to phenomena such as team downsizing, membership changes, team learning processes, and other work terms arising from the requirements of flexibility. In addition, we also analyze the potential effects of these conditions on team performance and team effectiveness. Finally, we summarize the main practical implications for organizational design and team management in dynamic and complex environments characterized by high levels of uncertainty and flexibility.
