Document Summary

Stages of group development: forming, storming, norming, performing, adjourning. Conflict is most likely to develop in the storming stage. In the punctuated equilibrium model of group development, a critical point occurs at the (cid:373)idpoi(cid:374)t of the group"s allotted ti(cid:373)e u(cid:374)til deadli(cid:374)e. The (cid:373)idpoi(cid:374)t tra(cid:374)sitio(cid:374) o(cid:272)(cid:272)urs (cid:449)he(cid:374) half the group"s ti(cid:373)e is elapsed. In the stage model of group development, conflict is a particular problem in the stage before norming. In a six week time to complete a project, the midpoint transition occurs at 3 weeks. Work groups that bring people with different functional specialties together to better invent, design, or deliver a product or service are called cross functional teams. Temporarily organized groups that are formed to achieve particular goals or solve particular problems are called task forces. A group performing a disjunctive task will perform at the level of its best member. Process loss: as the task force got bigger, it encountered more coordination problems.
