Creativity in Small Groups - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

A study of how small groups of people can combine for maximum creativity. Hare′s approach is to treat creativity as a kind of problem solving, and to look at the general characteristics of small groups. The first part of the book introduces four theoretical perspectives for understanding group activity. Part Two is written for the theorist who wishes to have a framework for understanding group structure and dynamics. Part Three compares individual and group problem-solving, highlighting the differences in patterns of interaction associated with the size of the group. A review for researchers, theorists, and those more actively involved in groups, this book draws on Hare′s extensive research and practical experience.

`Hare does a very commendable job of presenting a well-documented account of the major areas developed by small-group research...I heartily recommend the book to persons working in a small-group context, especially if they are interested in traditional functionalists′ thought.′ -- Contemporary Sociology, Vol 12 No 3, May 1983
