Couverture de l’ouvrage Decision-making group interaction (4° ed )
Formerly entitled Decision-Making Group Interaction, the new edition of this popular small group text features a new title that reflects the substantial and exciting revision it has undergone. Long known for its unique focus on issues of quality group interaction, Patton &, Downs' text introduces the communication practices, patterns, and circumstances that promote or inhibit group performance.
The Fourth Edition includes several new chapters addressing the most recent developments in the field and a wealth of new case studies, in addition to new and expanded information on a variety of issues: multiculturalism and diversity, strategic planning, conflict management, uses of technology in group contexts, ethics, benchmarking and quality assessment processes, and how to present findings of a group project or work team. Also new to this edition, are chapter-opening scenarios and detailed, end-of-chapter case studies that further support the applied nature of the book. Offering comprehensive coverage of theory along with real world material, Small Group Dynamics, Fourth Edition is an invaluable resource for anyone who wants to improve the effectiveness and quality of their group interaction.
