With the increasing trend of economic globalization, on the one hand, countries and regions around the world are communicating more frequently than before, and in this mode of frequent interaction, industries, cultures and individual values are becoming more diversified and diverse, and corporate teams are also gradually developing in diversity, and the number of cross-regional and cross-industry teams is increasing. Team performance, as a means and standard of team behavior evaluation and management, is inseparable from the realization of the enterpriseization goals. On the other hand, the competition between enterprises at home and abroad is becoming more and more intense, and team management plays an increasingly important role in the 21st century. Now that the Internet winter has come, most enterprises are holding each other for warmth, and it is especially important to make the team in the enterprise work more actively, have a better atmosphere and higher performance. From the time American entrepreneurs started to focus on team management until today, there has been a great deal of literature related to teams, which have gradually become the basic work unit for organizations to engage in activities in a dynamic environment, and the factors affecting team performance have been a hot spot for researchers to focus on. This paper reviews the literature related to team performance in management and presents an outlook for future research. Collating the literature reveals that the difference between team performance and individual performance has not been agreed upon in research; the effect of team diversity on team performance is also controversial, suggesting that team performance needs further research.
