Study Notes
Speed Ventures Case Study
- The Speed Ventures business case study tests teams on decision-making in situations with risk and uncertainty.
- The task revolves around a racing team faced with engine trouble, requiring a decision: to race or not to race.
- The decision involves weighing potential rewards (a significant prize) against potential losses (engine repair costs).
- The case is designed to illustrate common decision-making traps.
Decision Making Traps
- Framing Bias: The case presents the decision as a choice between racing with a potential prize and withdrawing with a partial refund.
- Anchoring Bias: The presentation of the potential prize (goodstone) as the main focus could lead to overemphasizing the potential reward.
- Confirmation Bias: Teams may gravitate towards information that supports their initial assumptions and preferences, whether to race or not.
- Availability Bias: Teams may overestimate the probability of losing the oil sponsorship due to the vivid description of the potential consequence.
Group Influence
- Five Provinces of Group Influence: The text outlines five key areas of influence within groups: rules, audience, message, timing, and source.
- The Audience: It is important to strategically target individuals within the group, recognizing allies, foes, and fence-sitters.
- The Message: Influence relies on effectively (re)defining a goal, framing arguments, and being mindful of the timing of information delivery.
- The Source: Establishing credibility and trust through expertise, experience, and impartiality is crucial.
Influence Tactics
- Rational Persuasion: Using logic, evidence, and well-reasoned arguments to influence others.
- Emotional Appeals: Connecting with others on an emotional level, often through shared experiences, storytelling, or empathy.
Fonda as a Leader
- Fonda utilizes both push and pull tactics for influence.
- Pull tactics: Fonda initially builds consensus through involvement, listening, and common ground to attract support.
- Push tactics: Once Fonda gains significant traction, he asserts his position through more forceful arguments, evaluations, and calls to action.
Emotional Intelligence in Leadership
- Fonda demonstrates emotional intelligence by remaining calm and not defensive, which contrasts with other jurors' more emotional responses.
- Emotional appeals can play a role in persuasion but are less effective than rational arguments in certain situations.
- Fonda's deliberate use of rational persuasion, calculated arguments, and nonverbal communication enhances his credibility.
Key Takeaways on Group Dynamics
- Finding Option C: Seek alternative solutions or perspectives that might be overlooked.
- Targeting Allies: Focus on individuals who are similar, lacking conviction, or on the periphery for greater influence.
- Framing Dissent: Frame opposition in a way that targets the issue rather than individual members of the majority.
- Recognizing Biases: Become aware of common decision-making biases and mitigate their influence.
