Groups are among the most stable and enduring of social units. They are important both to their members and to the society at large. Through encouraging regular and predictable behavior, groups form the foundation upon which any society rests.

Let's form a Markethive social business group.

What is a Social Group - Theory

Generally, the relationship in a social group refers to face-to-face verbal communication between two or more people involving their mutual ideas, thoughts, behaviors, ideals, likes, dislikes, and the queries and answers concerning life and living in nature.

A social group consists of two or more people who interact with one another and who recognize themselves as a distinct social unit. Frequent interaction, social intercourse, leads to shared values and beliefs that cause them to identify with one another. Identification and attachment, in turn, stimulate more frequent and intense interaction and the forming of a group.

The Markethive basic Social Neural Group

In Markethive, the basic social neural group is defined by a single lead person with a purpose. As people join the group and interact with one another sharing similar characteristics, they, collectively develop a sense of unity. When unity is established it is attractive and will result in more group members.

The number of functioning members in a group can be reasonably flexible between ten and twenty, and a long-standing cohesive group may be able to deal with more members.

The key concept is that the value and success of a group is obtained by each member maintaining a distinct, functioning identity in the minds of each of the other members.

Sociologists say that the practical limit to group membership is based on the individual's span of attention. This factor often sets the optimum number of members in a group at about eleven. Rapid shifting of attention can push the limit to about twenty. After ten, subgroups will inevitably start to form with the attendant loss of the original purpose, leadership, and individuality, with confusion of roles and rules.

The forming of subgroups is the basic rule of expansion of the social neural network and must be considered in the planning of a group and its expansion accordingly. The subgroup expansion builds itself into a self-regulated hive. A group creates new sub groups which continue to create other groups. Thus growing the HIVE. As each group expands the hive, it influences the dimensions of communication throughout Markethive.
