Synopsis :

Small groups serve a multitude of purposes in society. Decision-making and problem solving are two of the most typical purposes, with performance as their ultimate goal.

Many small group communication texts focus on the “process” of communication as the end product, or the ultimate goal for small group work. Small Group Communication Synergy is a departure from that view. The text presents communication as the tool--rather than the goal--small groups use to increase individual and group performance.

Written from a performance management perspective, Small Group Communication Synergy:

• contains references to original theorists and their works, such as -  Kurt Lewin, George C. Homans, and Stanley Milgram -  instead of referring to multiple interpretations by others
• simply and clearly explains theory to help the reader understand why and how people behave the way they do in a group setting
• embraces and expands upon the growing use of technology in group and team communication
• incorporates leadership with performance management – explaining how an effective leader can direct the group to perform at its best with a minimum amount of direction
