In the entries of this booklet, the members of each homophonic set are listed in alphabetical order. Each set is entered only once, at its alphabetically first member. There is no cross-reference unless the initial letters of the members differ. For example, the pair "knot, not" is listed under "knot".
Homophones are words of the same language that are pronounced alike even if they differ in spelling, meaning, or origin, such as "pair" and "pear". Homophones may also be spelled alike, as in "bear" (the animal) and "bear" (to carry). But this list consists only of homophones that are not spelled alike.
Games That Boost Performance tackles head-on the challenge of how we progress from being strong individual contributors to being effective team members. While the content of the games can easily be adapted to any industry, the underlying themes of all these games reinforce the importance of learning to work together in order to achieve our goals. It is not simply a matter of adeqaute capitalization, good leadership, or reliable infrastructure. Improved performance rests on the ability of every team to boost the performance of its individual members and its performance as a collective unit.
Research on small groups is highly diverse because investigators who study such groups vary in their disciplinary identifications, theoretical interests, and methodological preferences. The goal of this volume is to capture that diversity, and thereby convey the breadth and excitement of small group research by acquainting students with work on five fundamental aspects of groups. These are: group composition (the number and type of people who belong to the group); group structure (the status systems, norms, and roles that constrain interactions among group members); group conflict (arising from competition among members for scarce resources, both tangible and intangible); group performance (cooperative efforts among members to create joint products and achieve common goals); and group ecology (the physical, social, and temporal environments in which the group operates). Although these five aspects of groups are all important, they have not received equal research attention. In an effort to reflect this relative interest, more space has been devoted to conflict and performance than to composition, structure, and ecology.
The volume also includes an introductory chapter by the editors which provides an overview of the history of and current state-of-the-art in the field. Together with introductions to each section, discussion questions and suggestions for further reading, make the volume an ideal text for senior undergraduate and graduate courses on group dynamics.
We are all really happy to see lots of volunteer contributors adding their excellent links to perfect resources on a daily basis, which has made englishtips.org popular with learners of English and English instructors/teachers all over the globe. We appreciate your efforts, dear contributors! May I remind the englishtips community members that according to the requirements
all the links inside the posts and in the comments have to be hidden for security reasons? I have to admit that kind of security violation has become so widespread that almost nobody at all seems to apply such an elementary procedure. As a result, the administrators and moderators have to waste their own time desperately trying to locate and hide the links some of you left unhidden.
Does it mean that most of the englishtips community members nave no idea of how to do it? In that case, let me remind you something. (1) HIDING LINKS( WARNING: for that purpose use Internet Explorer only!)
