Thank you, Chris, for this nice explanation of the potential of the internet (or any other event/setting where people have the possibility to "form groups").
The next step should be to examine the enhancement of group formation due to specific setting details. What makes the difference between the law of two feet and other intervening variables (in future search or the like) with more stringent rules? What role plays the threshold of "technical skill/equipment" (needed to join specific internet groups - like newsgroups e.g.) on the formation of groups? Then one could ask about the circumstances needed to best improve group performance. The last investigation should go on the sustainability of team results i.e. if there is longlasting action or behavior change after the group has finished their actual meeting. (my thoughts are just bumble-beeing around this nice model ;-) Kind regards, Nino * * ========================================================== [email protected] ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of [email protected], Visit: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html
