Document Summary

Teams and groups: both are independent and interact in order to achieve a common goal. *as the size of a group increases, the number of possible interactions (and potential misunderstandings) increases even faster. Groups of more than 9 are generally less productive. (but it also depends on knowledge, attitude, skills nature of the task and group"s goal) Interaction: requires communication among group members who use verbal and nonverbal messages to generate meaning and establish relationships. Communication allows members to share info and opinions, make decisions and solve problems, and develop interpersonal relationships. Members learn which behaviors are appropriate and inappropriate, and which communication rules govern the interaction among members. Interdependence: means that each group member is affected and influenced by the actions of other members.
