Recent Research on Group Decision Making

Author(s) / Creator(s)

Brandstätter, Hermann

Abstract / Description

Group decision making has been praised as a panacea to overcome increasing task complexity, to solve social conflicts, and to secure cooperation. Others have warned against the loss of time and effort on problems that are better handled by individuals, or against the deleterious effects of "group think" on decision quality. Research on group decision making has often been stimulated by practical problems and some of its findings may be useful in improving group problem solving within organizations. But more than for its social relevance, this research deserves attention for its potential for developing a social psychological theory of inter-personal behaviour.
