That depends on a lot of factors. Some jobs require more than one person. Others are done most efficiently by an individual. Often a team can get more work done per day, but with lower efficiency than an individual -- that is, the total cost in man-hours is higher, but the job gets done quicker. The inefficiency of a team generally arises from the communication overhead and incomplete utilization which may occur. (people standing around with nothing to do, people having to talk to each other to coordinate actions)

Groups can easily be more productive.
