(The Group Relations Conferences Series) 1st Edition
by Eliat Aram (Editor), Coreen Archer (Editor), Rachel Kelly (Editor), Gordon Strauss (Editor), Joseph Triest (Editor)
Group Relations conferences offer
opportunities to learn about group, organisational and social dynamics;
the exercise of authority and power; the interplay between tradition,
innovation and change; and the relationship of organisations to their
social, political and economic environments.
This book, the fifth
in a series of Tavistock Group Relations Conferences, contains a
collection of papers presented at the fifth Belgirate conference, plus
three additional papers reflecting on and making sense of several
participants’ conference experiences. Taken together, these chapters
study the discourse of Group Relations conferences as well as reflecting
on the changing nature and shifting patterns of this discourse. In Doing the Business of Group Relations Conferences, authors reflect on the vicissitudes of meanings this expression generates.
