1. When parts of the system do not function well, the group might end up with a chaotic situation and undesirable result. Example 1: When I was in a quantitative class, we were doing a group research presentation. One of the members kept switching writing section with other members of the group because when she encountered problems in her parts, she didn’t try to figure out herself, she just simply gave up. It was very troublesome for the rest of the group because we all depended on each other’s writing section to create a group paper but we couldn’t depend on her. Example 2: When I was in a group communication class, we have to create a product to sell as a group. I really liked the group dynamic because we always keep a close contact of each other through out the course. But there was one person who was always busy with his job and didn’t check his email frequently. The day before the presentation, each of us had to bring something for the group so I sent a remainder email to everybody. Not surprising, the busy working person didn’t see the email and show up empty handed. We spent so much time and energy on the presentation but still, it couldn’t be perfect.
Sogo,
ReplyDeleteThis is Kam and I want to share my comments with you as below:
The good relationships between group members definitely base on interdependence and interrelationships. If the group project have the undesirable result that means the group members are lacking of communication and cooperation.
After studying of your two examples, I can say the two members are irresponsible to the team work. More importantly, both of them do not know the true meaning of interdependence and the interrelationships in a group. I really hope you can find the good partners for your project in future.
