This case presents the students with what is most likely an easily recognizable or at least imaginable situation. It's the afternoon before a major paper is due, nothing is ready, various members are not present, don't care, haven't prepared their parts, etc. The student group members are described. The group leader has to figure out what to do, how to get the paper done, and how to keep the team together to prepare an oral presentation next week,
Considering what you know about each member of the group, what type(s) of conflict would you expect to exist in this group? How would the group's productivity likely be affected?
