Description
Group Communication for Professional Life focuses on the intersection of small group communication theory and practical business applications. Throughout the book the task and relationship factors necessary for successful professional groups are emphasized, featuring real-life examples designed to resonate with today's undergraduate students.
The book's chapters are organized to demonstrate the lifespan of a group, from the selection of group members, through important processes associated with effective groupwork, concluding with evaluating what has been produced and how it was accomplished. Each chapter features four key elements: assessments for personal and group understanding, spotlights on practical skills, examinations of business tools and techniques, and considerations of virtual team best practices. Chapters end with key takeaways and review questions to consolidate learning and encourage application.
