In The Influence of Group Longevity on Project Communication and Project Performance, this study examines how the mix of long- and short-tenure members shapes project talk and outcomes.
The book analyzes how group longevity can change the way teams communicate inside the group, with other parts of the organization, and with external professionals. It links these communication patterns to overall project performance, offering a practical lens for managers and researchers alike.

Excerpt from The Influence of Group Longevity on Project Communication and Project Performance
Among the more prevalent ideas associated with the study of organiza tions is the rather broad viewpoint that organizational units try to structure their work environments in a manner that reduces the amount of stress they must face and which is also low in uncertainty (thompson, 1967; Weick, According to this argument, groups strive to direct their activities toward a more workable and predictable level of certainty and clarity (pfeffer.

Excerpt from The Influence of Group Longevity on Project Communication and Project Performance
This study investigates the communication behaviors and performances of 50 R&D project groups at different stages of group longevity, as measured by the average length of time project members have worked together. Basically, the analyses show that project teams become increasingly insulated from key information areas both within and outside their organizations as their project membership becomes increasingly stable. Such reductions in project communication are also shown to affect adversely the technical performance and innovativeness of project groups. Furthermore, variations in communication activity were more associated with the tenure composition of project teams than with the project tenures of individual engineers. These findings are presented and discussed in the more general terms of what happens in project groups as team membership "ages."

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the impact of group stability on project communication and performance. The author examines 50 R&D project groups with varying levels of group longevity and finds that as teams become more stable, they tend to insulate themselves from crucial information sources both within and outside their organizations. This reduction in project communication negatively affects the technical performance and innovativeness of these groups, particularly in the areas of research and development. The study highlights the significance of staffing decisions in maintaining effective communication patterns and preventing the 'Not Invented Here' syndrome, where groups become overly reliant on their own ideas and resistant to external influences. Ultimately, the book emphasizes the need for considering the impact of group dynamics on project outcomes and suggests the importance of organizational structures and practices in sustaining high performance and innovation within long-tenured teams.
