Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interacting groups require face-to-face communication and have high levels of participation and interaction. This type of group allows members to share ideas, discuss solutions, and come to a consensus. This level of participation would lead to a higher commitment to solutions as all members would feel heard and invested in the decision. Brainstorming, nominal and electronic groups may not have the same level of interaction and participation, which could lead to a lower commitment to the solution. Electronic meetings may have some interaction, but not to the level of an interacting group.
