It shows students the value of learning how to study carefully a group's history and context, rather than merely learning a fixed set of group participation skills. The text brings together disparate theories and research (from communication, social psychology, organizational and managerial studies, and sociology) in a way that helps students make sense of a complex body of scholarship on groups.Small groupsSocial groupsElectronic books.Small groups.Social groups.302.3/4302.34Gastil John738123StDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910480318303321The group in society2454219UNINA
