our chapter on cohesiveness came from the two psychological perspectives. In this chapter‚ our topic is the process of communication in decision-making groups. How can we best approach this topic? The theories and research studies that we will describe relate to two viewpoints that are variants of perspectives that we defined in Chapter 1. The first viewpoint‚ the functional approach‚ is a variant of the structural perspective. We will use this approach when we discuss theories and studies

Throughout history theories incorporate information on these architectural characteristics and attempt to explain them
