Summary

Group Communication examines the most effective ways of communicating and interacting within social and work groups, and offers a clear understanding of group communication. Group Communicationdelves into groundbreaking research in group interaction and analyzes its implications for everyday situations, including discussion of how groups can change over time, the impact of conformity pressures, leadership and team roles, and problem solving. Readers are led to explore how these concepts can be applied to their personal group situations, and guided through a critical investigation of previous group communication research. This book is vital for students of Communication Studies or social science, as well as anyone involved in the study or application of group management.
