Study Notes
- Group decision making involves a series of phases.
- B.A. Fisher proposed a model with four phases: orientation, conflict, emergence, and reinforcement.
- The orientation phase involves becoming acquainted with the problem and each other.
- The conflict phase involves presenting and debating possible solutions.
- The emergence phase involves reaching consensus.
- The reinforcement phase involves supporting the decision.
- Stage models assume a rigid and unitary sequence of group activities.
- Some theorists object to phase models and argue for variation depending on the decision being made.
- Poole and his colleagues developed a multiple sequence model for decision paths.
- The three major types of group decision paths are presented in Table 8.
