From the Paper:

"Organizational behavior is a complex area of discussion, but it is an area that managerial elites must have a firm understanding of if they are to achieve the professional results they desire. The following paper examines a number of theories pertaining to the study of groups with an eye towards understanding the benefits and debits of organizational teamwork. Quite simply, while collective efforts are generally to be preferred over individual ones, they do, in fact, have shortcomings and it is important that these shortcomings be well understood so that they can be mitigated as much as possible. With this in mind, it is to a discussion of some pertinent group theories that this paper now turns. One of the most prominent and enduring theories to be put forward in this area of study is Jacob Levy Moreno's concept of sociometry."
