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 groupsSmall groups.Social groups.302.3/4Gastil John738123MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910818044003321The group in society3940720UNINA
