Description
Provides a clear focus on the psychological and social processes that can stimulate successful cooperation and teamwork.
In today's fast changing, hyper-competitive environment, teamwork and co-operative working enhance the organization's adaptive capability. The team, rather than the individual, is increasingly seen as the building block of organizations and a key source of competitive advantage.
Michael West, Dean Tjosvold, and Ken Smith have brought together the world's leading authorities from a range of social science disciplines to provide a contemporary review of established and emerging perspectives. Throughout the book, processes that both facilitate and obstruct successful cooperation and teamwork are detailed, alongside guidance on best practice and methodology. The challenging and alternative perspectives presented will inform future research and practice. The result is a systematic and comprehensive synthesis of knowledge from a range of disciplines that will prove invaluable to professionals, researchers and students alike.
