In the description of a purposeful group he stated \u201cthey need members and ways of organizing them\u201d; a soccer team requires a minimum amount of players with different skill sets, offense, defence, and the transitional middle players. The resources could be applied to uniforms, water, or even substitution players on the sidelines. The \u201ccapacity to capture inputs and transform outputs\u201d relates to the ability to translate what is collaborated and worked on in practice onto the field on game day. Harvey states that they \u201c have a setting, a culture, a history, and a claim of some kind on their members\u2019 participation and commitment\u201d.

Harvey explains the \u201cimportance of external analysis\u201d in the assessment of how a group should proceed; it sets the tone for their social reality. When a group shares the same understanding of where they stand, especially in comparison to outgroups, they are more likely to function as a unit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I really enjoyed Harvey\u2019s explanation of why groups exist and the functional role they play in pursuing a shared purpose.
