I think it'd be an interesting exercise to come up with the different models one might structure a party or campaign after. I'll give a few examples to get the ball rolling.
Mercenaries
Party is usually loosely connected, often just because they're all PCs. Tend to take whatever job is put in front of them.
Patronage
Party is generally providing their services to a particular patron, which may change from time to time, but is more consistent at any given time than as with mercenaries.
Teenage Mutant Ninja-Turtles
A more extreme form of patronage, party is arranged almost like a family with a particular character at the "head" of the family, acting almost like a mother or father. This character may or may not be a PC.
Military
Similar to patronage, but more focused towards a particular organization. Advancement and chain of command are usually important aspects.
So... Feel free to add more!
