All groups face the issue of the division of labor in the accomplishment of a complex task. There comes a time when the differentiated activities need to come together in a coherent fashion. In the organizational behavior literature this is known as integration. Unsuccessful group analyses, and group presentations, often fail due to a lack of integration. This is most evident when a group hands in a group analysis that is divided into incoherent parts, obviously written by individuals alone with little input from the rest of the group.
Successful group analyses of behavior achieve integration through information sharing and consensus.
This creates a synergy that results in the whole being better than the sum of its parts. The individual analysis of behavior stresses the application of organizational behavior theories to your own behavior in the group, the class and your professional life. It should integrate your personal learning from the exercises, instruments, class activities, and your group's behavior. Successful individual analyses of behavior usually run between 20 and 25 double spaced, word processed pages. Do not worry about not having anything to say.
