Groupthink

Edición de la obra Groupthink

The late Dr. Irving first coined the term groupthink, a natural tendency to achieve agreement for the sake of group unity despite contrary facts and potentally dangerous consequences. Historical events are used to demonstrate the importance of group decisions. Group interactions that led to the space shuttle, Challenger, disaster of 1986 are probed in depth. An interview with Janis and a detailed analysis of the eight symptoms of groupthink are also included.
