One area that is difficult for a team to make decisions about is the extent to which the team should be isolated. While tighter boundaries allow for greater efficiency in the internal functions of integration (coordination of effort) and pattern maintenance (the establishment of a set of values to guide behavior), this boundedness may cut individuals off from career opportunities and also inhibit adaptation to changing organizational and environmental conditions. This is consistent with researc...h that shows underbounded systems often have unclear authority structures, and difficulties harnessing energy to do work and communicating among members (Alderfer, 1976) . By controlling the flow of information, influence and resources that outsiders 24 try to push into the group, in effect the sentry makes trade-offs between internal and external effectiveness. External entities may well be curious about group activities or products or envious of group resources. The guard monitors the information and resources that others request from the group and determines what the group will release in response to these demands.
