For the “The Team That Wasn’t” case, choose a theory or concept about groups that is relevant to the case. Apply the theory and explain why it is relevant. Support your point with evidence from the case.
Also, make a recommendation about what the manager (Eric Holt) in the case should do to improve the functioning of the team. Support your recommendation with evidence from the case, as well as with the expert commentary. You can base your recommendation on the expert commentary, but be sure to justify and explain why you agree with expert opinion.
Remember to proofread your work, don’t just rely on spellcheck.
Upload your discussion note as a word document before the start of class on Wednesday, February 27.
