Abstract
This report discusses the introduction of a computer as a group member in a task-oriented group. It demonstrates that such an introduction is actually possible. It also describes some tentative results of the study: organization changes, emotional reactions, some considerations on how to facilitate such a change, and a discussion of mechanisms tending to retard such an innovation. Finally, some questions are raised for further study of the relations between man and thinking machines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
