Groupthink
2008-04-23 06:30:00
Groupthink is a type of thought exhibited by group members who try to minimize conflict and reach consensus without critically testing, analyzing, and evaluating ideas. During groupthink, members of the group avoid promoting viewpoints outside the comfort zone of consensus thinking. A variety of motives for this may exist such as a desire to avoid being seen as foolish, or a desire to avoid embarrassing or angering other members of the group. Groupthink may cause groups to make hasty, irrational decisions, where individual doubts are set aside, for fear of upsetting the group?s balance. The term is frequently used pejoratively, with hindsight.http://en.wikipedia.o-rg/wiki/GroupthinkGroupthink and the Intellectual Elite

The 8 Signs of Groupthink

Individual vs Groupthink: Standards in Technological Innovation
2007-12-17 23:27:00
The funny thing about the world of technology--the high-tech industry--is that while it thrives on innovation, unique ideas, and creativity, it can only survive with intense collaboration. The brilliance of the individual is, of course, the driving force behind much of what we consume in the high-tech market. However, without layer upon layer of collaboration and standardization, these many gadgets and software applications that we use every day would be meaningless and frustrating. Hardware manufactures, operating system developers, and software companies all work together to create a computer that is fast and functional and fun to use. They work in collaboration. Imagine a television that only played a certain network's shows. Imagine a radio that only played stations that were created by the radio manufacturer. Imagine an Mp3 player that only connected to one online music store.... Collaboration and standardization are what makes up the foundation of the entire high-tech movem...
