Concept information
Preferred term
group decision making
Definition(s)
- Decisions are often made in groups: sometimes to maximize the quality of the decision, sometimes because the decision makers are all stakeholders, and sometimes to diffuse, or obscure, responsibility. Group decisions range from formal committees to casual conversations, and research has examined the impact on quality, creativity, dedication, and risk tolerance.
