Kurt Vonnegut seems to portray the protagonist of Slaughterhouse-Five, Billy Pilgrim, much like himself, a war participant and truth seeker. In the novel Slaughterhouse-Five, Kurt Vonnegut characterizes Billy Pilgrim as a war survivor with PTSD(Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).

Throughout the story, Pilgrim goes back and forth through time

Pepicello, personal communication, June 22, 2016). This is generally observed when working as a team on a project, especially in a virtual group setting where members are separated by time, distance, and communication, collaboration or getting members to fully participate in the project take more effort than in a face-to-face setting

Fantastic Five: Group Analysis Small group communications has taught me so much: how to communicate more effectively, leadership styles, how to work better in group settings, how to overcome conflict and more.

Academics such as Lewin and Kotter have outlined frameworks which fellow re-searchers can refer to when trying to implement organisational change successful-ly. Although there are many theories regarding change management, this research will focus Lewin’s change management model and Kotter’s 8 step model. 3.1 Lewin change model The force field analysis by Lewin (1951) demonstrates that there are three neces-sary processes which organisation need to consider when processing or imple-menting change
