Participation: A Close Look at Its Dynamics

Simon Fraser University

Managers and researchers have appeared to reach opposing conclusions about participation.

Research on interaction indicates both the potential and limitations of participation. Cooperative goals and productive controversy contribute to participation. Future research can investigate interaction processes and validate procedures managers can use to make participation successful.
