Groupthink in Government: A Study of Small Groups and Policy Failure.
研究了为何有才华和经验的群体(如肯尼迪政府决定入侵猪湾)会做出灾难性集体错误判断,系统阐述了群体思维理论并开辟新研究方向。
Why do groups of talented and experienced individuals make disastrously bad collective judgments, such as the Kennedy administration's flawed decision to proceed with the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961? In his pioneering research on collective decision making, Irving Janis introduced the concept of groupthink-a deliberately Orwellian neologism-to describe such occurrences. Now, in the first book-length study of groupthink since Janis's work, Paul 't Hart has provided a rigorous and systematic version of this influential theory which opens several new avenues for research.
