Synopsis

To make good decisions, groups must develop specific skills while at the same time having an understanding of the theory that underlies practice. The perfect marriage of theory and practical `how-to' models, this text introduces the student immediately to the fundamental skills needed to work effectively in groups. This skills development culminates in a section called the Group Project Facilitator that gives concrete procedures and strategies for working effectively in groups. The authors then provide a broad and systematic development of group theory, including a clearly written and easily understandable discussion of the cutting-edge research of Scott Poole and others. The text includes a comprehensive treatment of technology and its role in the communication process.
