Punctuated Equilibrium Model

The video discusses group formation and development, expanding on the traditional linear model of forming, storming, norming, and performing. It introduces the concept of disruptions causing groups to revert to earlier stages, leading to a cyclical model known as the punctuated equilibrium model. This model accounts for rapid organizational changes that affect group dynamics.

What impact do rapid changes in organizations have on group development according to the theory?

In what way does the punctuated equilibrium model differ from the linear model of group development?
