GROUP DECISION MAKING
This is the use of committees teams, task forces or simply work groups(as opposed to individuals) to consider problems/situations and ways of resolving them. The decision making process thus involves more than one person, who represent the varied interests. The conscious selection or making of courses of action emanating from more than one person.
In modern organizations, decisions are always made by groups of individuals. Groups fulfil different needs/goals that may not be forthcoming from an individual. Important to note that groupthink, group dynamics, group norms, group cohesiveness, group conformity are a range of characteristics that dictate the quality of decisions/work produced in a group setting
