From the Publisher: With a focus on the individual group member, The Fundamentals of Small Group Communication encourages readers to reflect on how their communication behaviors and practices contribute to their current small group experiences.

Each chapter opens with a case study and includes an "Ethically Speaking" box that allows readers to reflect on how ethics is central to the small group communication process. It is intended for undergraduate courses that introduce students to the basic fundamentals of small group communication.
