Methods of group decision makingDecision by lack of response: also called plop
method. Some one suggest an idea and without any deliberations it is rejected.
Decision by Authority rule: leader will make the ultimate decision. This method produce minimum involvement of the group. Leader must be very proficient.
Decision by minority rule: a single person can enforce the decision. Two or more members come to a quick and powerful agreement and implement it through chairman or powerful members of the group.

Brain stormingGood technique for generating alternatives.Generates as many ideas as possible.It is meant to overcome pressures for
conformity in the interacting group that retard the development of creative alternatives.
No criticism is allowed.Think the unusual

Nominal group technique.Restricts discussion or the interpersonal
communication during decision making.Members operate independently.Steps in Nominal group technique. Each member independently writes down his or
her ideas on the problem.Each member presents one idea to the group.Group discusses the ideas for clarity and
evaluates them.Ranks the ideas. Final decision is based on
highest rank.

Nominal group techniqueIt is good when members fear criticism from
others.Permits the group to meet formally but not
restrict in independent thinking.

Delphi techniqueTime consuming.
Similar to nominal group technique.
Steps in delphi technique.Problem is identified and members are asked
to provide solutions through questionnaires.Each member anonymously and
independently completes the first questionnaire.

Steps in Delphi techniqueResults are compiled at a central location,
transcribed and produced.
Each member receives a copy of the results.
Members are again asked for the solutions.
Steps are repeated until a consensus is reached.

Advantages of delphi techniqueThe Delphi technique is valuable in its ability
to generate a number of independent judgements without the requirement of a face-to-face meeting.
used for decision making among geographically scattered groups.
The cost of bringing experts together at a central location is avoided.

disadvantagesTime consuming. Not applicable where a
speedy decision is necessary.May not develop the rich array of alternatives
as the interacting of nominal group technique does.

Electronic meetingsBlends the nominal group technique with
sophiscated computer technology.Participants type their responses on the computer
screen. Advantages:Participants can anonymously type any message
they want and it flashes on the screen.It allows people to be brutally honest without
penalty.It is fast because discussions don't go off the point
and many participants can "talk“ at once.

continuedDisadvantages:Those who can type fast can outshine those
who are verbally eloquent but poor typists;Those with the best ideas don't get credit for
them.The process lacks the information richness of
face-to-face oral communication.
