A comprehensive record, published in 1877, of an influential Victorian exhibition celebrating science and technology in the Western world.
Cognitive processes in teams have been a valuable arena for team researchers to explore. Team cognition research advances and informs a variety of disciplines, including cognitive and social sciences, engineering, military science, organizational science, human factors, medicine, and communications. There has been a great deal of progress in the team cognition literature, yet the field is still in its early stages of maturity. There is much more to be gained from the field’s insights and there is a need to unite the diverse array of scholarly ideas that permeate the field. This movement will serve to organize the research and ideas that have surfaced in the field, thereby making them more accessible to different disciplines while at the same time, motivating continued progress in the field. This book aims to be a step in this direction and acts as a forum for leading scholars to share their ideas, theories, models, and conceptions about what matters and where more attention is needed in the field of team cognition.

Authors Joann Keyton and Stephenson J. Beck present a communicative framework-one that emphasizes the creation and management of messages as well as the reception and perception of meaning- for the investigation of groups and teams. The book also elaborates on the strategic and contextual nature of group interaction. The book is structured around five key elements of groups, all pieces of a puzzle, that can be used to evaluate group effectiveness. These are: group size, interdependence of members, group identity, group goals, and group structure. Throughout the book, and in pedagogical features, skills are grounded in a solid research base (and further highlighted in Skill Builder and Theory...
A transformational approach to conflict argues that conflicts must be viewed as embedded within broader relational patterns and social and discursive structures. Central to this book is the idea that the origins of transformation can be momentary, situational, and small-scale or large-scale and systemic. The momentary involves shifts and meaningful changes in communication and related patterns that are created in communication between people. Momentary transformative changes can radiate out into more systemic levels, and systemic transformative changes can radiate inward to more personal levels. This book engages this transformative framework by bringing together current scholarship that epi...
