Group Management 2
From the beginning of this semester, I was allocated in a group of five, James Lokos,
Julie Rabin, Henry Winter, Stephanie Entwisle and I, for the Industry consulting project. This
was to help us tackle the coursework and presentations associated with the Fab five food app. As

formulation of ideas, coordination and motivation whereby; Henry and Julie were well skilled in
marketing, James easily understood and was good at accounting. As good assistants, Stephanie
and I, formulated ideas and acted as group coordinators. Moreover, being an organizer too, I

The group members cooperated so well and they were quite commendable at the start of
the semester. Their cooperation, discipline and commitment improved our team work and group-
relationship thus no issues arose among us. The communication flow was also effective since
there were no language barriers. When it came to handing in our assignments, we were very

it look like having those group discussions was meaningless. They also never saw the need or
