Chapter+05


 * __Bureaucracy__: an organizational model rationally designed to perform tasks efficiently
 * The CBI is broken up into different jobs based on specialty in order to be most efficient. There are certain people that go in the field, people that study the bodies, and people who work with evidence and find finger prints and other clues.


 * __Groupthink__: the tendency of group members to conform, resulting in a narrow view of some issue
 * In many cases Agents Lisbon, Van Pelt, Rigsby, and Cho come to similar theories of what happened because they have been trained and have been together for so long. Patrick Jane is not involved in groupthink because he adds a different perspective to the case because he is newer and doesn't have the same background; he is able to think outside of the box.


 * __Network__: a web of weak social ties
 * In some cases the team needs to bring in extra help from the FBI, other bureaus, and the police. They don't have to work together very often so they are not very close with each other. The relationship between these organizations is a network.


 * ** Social Group: Two or more people who identify with and interact with one another. **
 * ** The team all work together daily and help each other with everyday tasks and protect each other. The team includes Patrick Jane, Teresa Lisbon, Grace Van Pelt, Kimball Cho, and Wayne Rigsby. **
 * ** Formal Organizations: A large secondary group organized to achieve its goals efficiently. **
 * ** The CBI is organized to solve homicides in Sacramento, California with Jane as a consultant, who helps solve many cases with his past career of a psychic median. The team works together and uses Jane's skills to efficiently solve the crime leading to a group effort in the end to piece it all together. **
 * ** In-group: A social group toward which a member feels respect and loyalty. **
 * ** Within the CBI the team works together and protects each other on every case no matter the situation. The team members have respect for one another as they rely on each other not only for protection but also as support morally, physically and mentally. **
