In Mixed Company, Tenth Edition, combines theory, applications, and current research on small group communication in a conversational and engaging style. The communication competence model and principles of cooperation guide discussions of key small group concepts and processes throughout the text.

* Systems theory--a key theoretical component of the text--equips students with an easy-to-understand conceptual framework for analysis and insights.
* Lively photos and cartoons bring chapter concepts to life.
