Synopsis:

Working in Groups provides students with strategies for using theory and contemporary research findings to enhance group communication, group productivity, and member satisfaction. Using balance as a framework  for looking at how groups work and "how to" work in groups, Working in Groups imparts students with tools for successful communication in groups with the ability to relate group communication theories, methods, and tools to group goals and member needs.

 

Unique chapters, including Argumentation in Groups, Goal Setting and Motivation in Groups, and Confidence in Groups reflect contemporary research and real-world applications.

 

Exceptional  Instructor Resources written by the authors offer over 200 structured class activties, original textbook-based video case studies and discussion questions, and a faculty resource library.
