Exercise 10

Divide a sheet of notebook paper into five columns. In the first column, under the heading "Strengths," list all the strengths that any of the types of group structures might have (e.g., "generates many solutions"). Write the four types of structured approaches as headings for the remaining columns. Indicate, by placing a check in the appropriate column(s), which approaches might have each of the strengths you listed. (Notice that, in essence, you are preparing your own contingency model.)
