A Sequential Analysis of Procedural Meeting Communication: How Teams Facilitate Their Meetings (2013, background): “In a thorough review of the literature, Wittenbaum, Vaughan, and Stasser (1998) argued that group coordination (i.e., the way in which groups synchronize their actions in order to successfully complete a task) is central to group effectiveness.”
The Dynamics of Group Learning in a Cohort: From Nonlearning to Transformative Learning (2001, background): “These groups are most like task groups as defined by Hackman (1990) and Wittenbaum et al. (1998).”
How Team Composition and Collaborative Planning Jointly Shape Analytic Effectiveness (2008, background): “However, existing research has shown that such planning rarely happens in the absence of a leadership or instructional intervention (Hackman et al., 1976; Wittenbaum et al., 1998 ).”
Perceptions of Expertise and Transactive Memory in Work Relationships (2000, background): “The extent to which people in relationships share expectations about who has (or is expected to have) various information can affect coordination, communication, and task performance (Hollingshead, 1998a, 1998b, 1998c, 1998d; Wegner et al., 1991; Wittenbaum, Stasser, & Merry, 1996; Wittenbaum, Vaug”
Harnessing the wisdom of crowds in wikipedia: quality through coordination (2008, background): “Theories of group coordination suggest a basic distinction between explicit coordination , based on direct communication and verbal planning, and implicit coordination , based on unspoken expectations and shared mental models of the task to be accomplished [24][35].”
Transactive Memory Systems in Organizations: Matching Tasks, Expertise, and People (2004, background): “Wittenbaum et al. (1996, 1998) view transactive memory as one form of tacit coordination found in work groups.”
Transactive memory in organizational groups: the effects of content, consensus, specialization, and accuracy on group performance. (2003, background): “Group size can influence transactive memory by affecting communications within the group and by changing the amount of information needed to maintain a high level of group expertise ( Wittenbaum, Vaughan, & Stasser, 1998 ); larger groups require each group member to remember information about more p”
