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. 606 $aSmall groups 606 $aSocial groups 615 0$aSmall groups. 615 0$aSocial groups. 676 $a302.3/4 700 $aGastil$b John$0738123 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818044003321 996 $aThe group in society$93940720 997 $aUNINA
