Assessing Research into Groupthink
[ send me this essay ]
A 16 page paper examining much of the research that has been done following Irving Janis' 1972 description of the groupthink phenomenon. The outcomes of some of these works appear to be as time-sensitive as the daily newspaper. While all the researchers discussed here have made further contribution to Janis' original work, it appears that none have taken into account the far different business climate that exists now. US business drastically changed between the 1970s and 2000. It appears that much of the difference that researchers have found has been related as much to changing business environment as to various methodologies used. Regardless of business views of the time or methodologies, however, the original concept of groupthink cannot be said to be generalizable to all situations. This observation is evident from the most superficial of examinations of the researchers' work. Bibliography lists 15 sources.

Assessing the Columbia Disaster with the Burke-Litwin Model
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page paper evaluating the utility of the Burke-Litwin conceptual framework for evaluating the loss of the space shuttle Columbia in 2003. The Burke-Litwin model is appropriate for assessing a situation as complex as that concerning the loss of Columbia. A less involved, more technically-oriented approach likely would have failed to identify the real reasons for the loss of Columbia, which essentially constituted an extension of the reasons underlying the loss of Challenger. The approach that the CAIB took in investigating Columbia may well have broken the chain of failure. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
