Group Process and Productivity

By Wendy L. Wood

Book Overview

How is the increasing diversity of the workforce likely to affect productivity? What can be done to remedy the negative consequences of groupthink′? And what steps can be taken to improve the quality of group decisions? This volume discusses these and other questions associated with productivity and functioning in small groups. Among the topics explored are group productivity, problem identification, group decision making, behaviour technology and group dynamics. The contributors, leading scholars from a cross-section of disciplines, challenge many current beliefs about groups.

Great for scholars and non-scholars

Of all the books I read this semester as a PhD student this is one of the best because I could easily take the information and relay it to my friends, colleagues, and teammates so that they too could benefit. If you are in any type of group and want to be part of strong group dynamics, or resolving conflict, you should read this book!
