In Mixed Company 11E: Communicating in Small Groups and Teams

In Mixed Company combines theory, applications, and current research on small group communication in a conversational and engaging style. It is a comprehensive text and has been the market leading small group communication text for the last several editions. The 11th edition will continue to use abundant humor, engaging case studies, novel illustrations, dramatic and poignant examples, personal narratives and vivid stories, and colorful language to encourage students to keep reading. The 11th edition offers an emphasis on meetings with the new Chapter 3, current treatments of COVID and its profound effects on small group dynamics, and comprehensive treatment of virtual groups, in addition to vastly enhanced visual packaging.
