Unearthed: The Other Side of Group Cohesiveness

One of the most consistently studied constructs in group dynamics research is Cohesiveness. It is a fact, that there is a tendency to see the effects of group cohesiveness as being largely positive. The periodic review of cohesiveness–performance relation had been positive. However, not much attention has been devoted to the fact that group cohesiveness can be detrimental to the group performan...

Leveraging Group Cohesiveness to Form Workflow Teams

Past literature shows that workflows will be performed with greater efficiency and/or effectiveness if workflow teams have higher group cohesiveness. The major contribution of this work in progress is the creation and implementation of a formal generalized methodology that incorporates ideas from two diverse fields: social network theory and workflow modeling, and allows optimization of work gr...

The Other Side of Medicine

THIS address is an endeavour to deal with a vast, intriguing, and mainly abstract subject which has interested men, and particularly medical men, for thousands of years, which interests us just as much today, and which will concern those who follow us even more. In the course of the progress of civilisation man has been creating sets of circumstances which produce hitherto unknown factors influ...

Cohesiveness

It is characteristic of a continuum that it be “all of one piece”, in the sense of being inseparable into two (or more) disjoint nonempty parts. By taking “part” to mean open (or closed) subset of the space, one obtains the usual topological concept of connectedness. Thus a space S is defined to be connected if it cannot be partitioned into two disjoint nonempty open (or closed) subsets – or eq...
