From the Paper:

"The company applying this group theory should focus on creating an ambience within work that makes every employee feel like he is needed and can allow him to feel the freedom to work hard under a planned setup. It should also make sure that the managerial members have a consistent and constructive association with the team member to ensure success of the firm. They should also make sure that the team formed has an appropriate level of conformity in terms of the attitudes, principles and work ethics. The company should also make sure that there are no ego clashes within a team and that it stays united for the company's bets interests and goals. It should also focus on having informal and honest communicational interactions amongst the employees as well as be able to bring together a large team instead of a small one."
