Bruce Tuckman and Meredith Belbin both devised theories relating to the interactions and dynamics of groups‚ whilst Tuckman concentrated on the group as a whole‚ Belbin focused on the roles individuals played within a group. ‘For centuries‚ sages and scholars have been fascinated by groups – by the way they form‚ change over time‚ dissipate

Kinematic similarity – Fluid flow of both the model and real application must undergo similar time rates of change motions. (Fluid streamlines are similar). 3. Dynamic similarity – Ratios of all forces acting on corresponding fluid particles and boundary surfaces in the two systems are constant. BEFORE THAT!!

It is shown in [Hop85] how to choose the values of synapse [pic]so that (1) represents the dynamics corresponding to a given energy function. If the energy function corresponds to an optimization objective‚ the initialization of the [pic]’s to an initial configuration will result in an equilibration which settles to a local minimum of the objective

zx The Johari Window Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham developed the Johari (Joe and Harry) window model for a program in group process. It has become famous in the human resource development field as a communication and feedback model to depict how we give and receive information about ourselves and others. The model depicts a four-paned window (see figure). Looking at the four panes in terms of columns and rows‚ the two columns represent the self; the first contains “things I know about myself‚” and

Spiral Dynamics and Value Systems “Our thinking creates problems that the same type of thinking will not solve” Albert Einstein “Without some sort of worldview‚ we remain lost in the blooming buzzing confusion of experience‚ as William James put it. In other words‚ all of our individual perceptions are‚ to some extent‚ embedded in particular worldviews. Within these worldviews‚ we still possess abundant freedom of choice‚ but worldviews generally constrain what we are even considering choosing.”
