Abstract
The paper presents the concept of an interactive team-building tool for simulating social grouping. It shows how decisions whom to assign which task can be supported from a game-theoretic perspective. Thus the group member are modeled as social entities following their preferences and being able to resist against work distributions they do not want. The features of ITBT are deduced from the decision situation of a team leader being in charge for the work distribution and are described in more detail in the paper.
