| Publisher Description: In Mixed Company, Tenth Edition, combines theory, applications, and current research on small group communication in a conversational and engaging style. The communication competence model and principles of cooperation guide discussions of key small group concepts and processes throughout the text. DISTINCTIVE FEATURES: * Rothwell's trademark style--erudite yet conversational and approachable and filled with practical advice, startling anecdotes, and humorous stories--engages readers like no other group communication textbook does * Integrates a communication competence perspective throughout, providing a clear communication focus that is rigorous, engaging, and practical. * The text's unique emphasis on the role of power in small group communication helps students see that power is a central underlying element in small group conflict, teamwork, decision making, problem solving, normative behavior, roles, and leadership. * Systems theory--a key theoretical component of the text--equips students with an easy-to-understand conceptual framework for analysis and insights. * Lively photos and cartoons bring chapter concepts to life. |
