Overview
In this discussion, we will explore the usefulness and appropriateness of five decision-making techniques used in small groups. The five techniques are presented in the text:
- decision by the leader
- decision by majority rule
- decision by compromise
- decision by arbitration
- decision by consensus
Familiarize yourself with the description of each of these approaches to decision-making found in the text. Then in your primary post, describe examples of two different techniques you have observed in use by explaining how the decision was made and labeling which technique was used.
