2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this report was to understand
the basic concept of group dynamics and
henceforth examine the preferred learning
styles, interpersonal relations and effects, and
member’s behavior and effects.
The major findings indicate that Mapmy needs
to develop as an independent organization in
terms of initiative and responsibilities as
compared to the crowd at Google AdWords.
