Reading:
Groupthink


One process by which groups may make bad or irrational decisions is known as groupthink. Individual members
of a group attempt to conform their opinions to what they believe to be the group consensus even though the
result may be negative. These include the desire to be like, fear of losing a job, or even not wanting to be the one
employee delaying a decision that seems inevitable. These kinds of implicit pressures to conform lead group
members to ultimately make decisions that each by himself or herself, might normally not make.


Explain groupthink and its effects using the example of the computer company.
