Group Processes
- Groups may have a common cultural identity with shared symbols, rituals and values (e.g. subgroups with ethnic/ religious background or common occupational experiences)
- Strong group culture
- Can produce a highly cohesive group that works well together (to achieve company goals)
- Can result in conflict among groups over organizational resources ( personnel, technology, finances, prestige)
- Some conflict is „healthy“ for an organization (source of innovation)
