Communication in Small Groups: Theory, Process and Skills (The Wadsworth Series in Speech Communication) - Softcover

"The text seems to be written with the students in mind, many of the examples used are ones students can relate to." "I appreciate this books approach and the writing style of the authors. Its emphasis on providing a unified group theory as its overall focus is what distinguishes it from many other small group texts. I would describe it as theory-based text with an emphasis on application of material to real world contexts." "I appreciate [this books] approach and the writing style of the authors.

They draw on their experiences to provide students with a clear introduction to the study of small group communication. Communication in Small Groups puts theory and research into practice. A primary objective is to discuss small group communication theory and research in a way that allows the reader to apply concepts and principles to the process of communication when working as a member of a team.
