Groupthink
The lecture and the passage are both about groupthinking for taking decisions in businesses. The writer believes that it is if a decision is thought by a group rather than one person in particular, it is better. The lecturer challenges the statements made by the writer. He is of the opinion that groupthinking has negative results in decision making.
First of all, the writer suggests that people working together leads to a deeper perspective of the problem, as well as to a better solution for any situation. The lecturer challenges this point. He says that group brainstorming produces horrible and irrational decisions because individuals do not agree with some idea. As a result, they feel uncomfortable.
Secondly, the author states that it is a great for sharing opinions and knowledge between workers. Howevert, the lecturer refutes this by asserting that the thoughts of many employees are ignored in the group. Moreover, groups might consider themselves as unbreakable to the opinion of one person, and they think of them as smarter than others.
Finally, it is claimed in the passage that group decision making increases interest in members and promotes ideas to flow. On the other hand, the professor posits that a group reassures that their position is the best, but it is a disaster. He elaborates on this by providing one example of a fail in 1950, when a decision was taken by a group. Consequently, the consumers were not attracted by the announcement and a motor’s company income decreased significantly.
