A GLOSSARY OF TEMPORAL TERMS RELATING TO GROUPS AND ORGANIZATIONS

Abstract

During the conference in which this volume’s chapters were presented and discussed, an important topic arose: the proliferation of terms used to describe the temporal aspects of groups and teams. Recognition of this proliferation is not new (cf. Ancona, Okhuysen & Perlow, 2001). While it is partly a reflection of the increased interest in things temporal, it is also a reflection of how we conduct work in the area of groups and organization studies for at least three reasons.
