Benefits Of Group Decision-Making Model

Introduction

Group decision-making is known as a type of participatory processes, in which multiple individuals collectively act, analyse problems and evaluate solutions. In Medium Size Enterprise (MEs) of UK, this process is needed, as the revenues are less from £20M to £30M per year. Group decision-making process may change the substantial contribution of the institution to the national employment and economy by raising profitability. Considering the importance of this process, effectiveness of group-based choice procedure is not ignorable. The aim of the report is to evaluate strategic benefits of group decision-making models decisively by improving its effectiveness.

Discussion and Analysis

In different large-scale enterprises, some of

To fulfil the objectives of association, effectiveness plays a vital role. However, for the effectiveness, there is a need to know the models of group choice process, which provide a way to make solutions and improve the practices of services. Michaela and Margarete (2009) explored a fact that there are several group decision-making models. The most important are consensus and consultation. Consensus decision-making model increases the involvement of employees. In this model, several options are presented to the workers and they are asked to select the best according to their thinking and observation of real world (Michaela & Margarete, 2009). After that a decision is made by the management by considering all the options and selecting the popular one. This helps medium size enterprises to work in a flow, which shows a consistency in the

In this model, collectively individuals are asked to give their opinion and then their considerations are focused during the time of final decision. In other words, it can be said that it engages the knowledge and obligation of a larger group as compared to the formal decision maker. For instance, the company may arrange a workshop, in which the individuals may come together and present their opinion about the growth of the business or the solution of the problems (Michaela & Margarete, 2009). Based on the importance, this is important more than Consensus model, as the consultation is important for the effective or rational decisions in every business.

Overall, both the models of choice procedure require the participation of groups for inputs and this provide a better output after the complete process. As projected by Forsyth (2009) that these models are the most successful parameters of group decision-making process. Usually, these models are called general models of this procedure. The effectiveness might be improved further by focussing on some specific techniques. These techniques are brainstorming, nominal group technique, Delphi method, and dialectical inquiry, which must be undertaken during the alternative selections (Forsyth,
