Detailed Contents
Preface
S ince the publication of the first edition of this book in 1980, more research has been done on decision-making groups of all kinds. Technological advances and electronic connectivity have transformed our work habits and virtually every aspect of our lives. Yet several of the basic contentions expressed in the first edition remain valid.
What has not changed since the first edition:
Meetings and committees are still the object of derision.
Despite the significant changes in perspective, decision-making groups continue to be objects of scorn and derision in American society. Committee meetings, especially, remain the butt of jokes and cartoons. Such negative perceptions and commentary reflect a notion of collective decision making as inept. To add insult to injury, meetings are also perceived as imprisoning decision-group members in time-wasting endeavors, while producing little or nothing of value.
