From the Paper:

"Cooperation is of prime importance in the business environment. In Goffman's work, this concept is explored through group dynamics, and the relationship between performance and audience (Goffman, 1959:22). A group in the performance attempts to work towards a single predetermined goal. Co-operation may then occur in one of two ways: the group is either unanimous in its achievements of the goal, or each individual assumes a differing role, each of which then results in the achievement of the above-mentioned goal."
