Making sense of the phenomenology of groups and group membership

Abstract

This chapter considers the previous contributions to this volume from two perspectives. First, I discuss how the chapters contribute to the under-standing of groups and group membership in terms of McGrath's (1986) prescriptions for research on groups. Second, I compare the chapters to the characteristics of sense-making studies outlined by Weick (1995). While this volume leaves many issues for further investigation, this volume makes important contributions to the study of groups from a phenomenological point of view.
