Week 14 Post 3: Group vs. Individual

3). Pick one other concept in the book that you feel needs further discussion?

Another concept I found interesting was individual versus group decision making and factors that relate to group productivity. Working in a large company I feel that there are definitely times where individual work is more beneficial and there are times where group projects are more efficient. My company rewards people for being individuals and for leading teams of people but I think sometimes it is harder for them to identify when group work is better. Our text offers good tips such as using groups when there is adequate time for group members to meet. Another good time is when the decision is complex.
