LITERATURE REVIEW The concept of Groupthink originated in 1972.
It is defined as people who approach problems or issues as a collective group, instead of thinking and acting as individuals Groupthink is present in virtually all decisions made by the leadership in an organization.
The decision-making process underscores how important groupthink is to an organization success or
failure As noted by Irving Janis, “Groups bring out the worst as well as the best in terms of decision making”. CONCLUSION
Tries to figure out how the small group makes decisions.
This movie that the end doesn't justify the means They might never get smarter because they depend too much on money to pass tests. More research needs to be done on how groupthink could affect how well a group makes decisions THANK YOU
