Product Description This fifteenth volume reviews the current status of many of the major themes that this series has explored. In each chapter, we challenged the authors to provide a succinct review of a particular area while maintaining the culture of this series by suggesting new directions and interesting questions to pursue. The authors, many of whom were thematic editors as young assistant professors, responded with explorations in the areas of Dynamics within Groups, Leadership, Micropolitics, Power, Ethics, Conflict, Political Correctness, Diversity, Group Learning, Technology, Engagement, Time Pressure, Culture, and Intergroup Processes - all reflecting the unique take on these topics within the context of groups and teams. Review Neale (Stanford U.) and Mannix (Cornell U.) present the proceedings of the 15th annual conference on 'Research on Managing Groups and Teams,' the last in the series. As the final volume to come out of these conferences, this collection of 14 papers eschews a narrow theme and instead opts for a broad approach that collectively provides a broad review of the field as a whole. Topics addressed include studying dynamics within groups, theories of group leadership, status hierarchies in teams, the nature of collective reactions to potential transgressions, managing conflict in groups and teams, political correctness and group composition, the effects of group diversity, group learning research, technology and teams, time pressure and productivity, and interaction dynamics in multicultural teams.
