Synopsis

The communication process is central to the study of group decision-making in two respects. Firstly, communication is the medium for group interaction; and secondly, it is the means for creating the social group in which a decision is shaped and enacted. Combining previous research and advancing an integrative theoretical framework, the contributors examine general problem areas in the study of group interaction.
