Reviews
'The book Macrocognition in Teams is an innovative, coherent, and focused approach to the cognitive processes of teams solving problems. The chapters of this book demonstrate what happens if the cognitive processes of teams solving problems are taken seriously. The book includes a number of theoretical and empirical contributions. Additionally, technologies are described in several chapters that can be used to transform the cognitive processes of teams so that problems are solved more effectively. The book advances our theoretical and conceptual understanding of macrocognition and presents empirical results and technological demonstrations showing how applications of macrocognition can enhance the cognitive processes of teams solving problems.' Verlin B. Hinsz, North Dakota State University, USA
