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 UR - http://ezproxy.alfaisal.edu/login?url=http://sk.sagepub.com/books/the-group-in-society ER -
