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.
