Why do people make decisions based on their own perspective without
considering alternative points of view? Do differences of opinion
enhance or obstruct critical thinking? Is it wise to seek out
people who disagree with you and listen to their objections to your
conclusions? Focusing on the theory, research, and application of
constructive controversy, this book analyses the nature of
disagreement among members of decision-making groups, project
teams, academic study groups, and other groups that are involved in
solving problems. Johnson demonstrates that this theory is one of
the most effective methods of enhancing creativity and innovation,
decision making, teaching, and political discourse. The book
includes entertaining and intriguing examples of how constructive
controversy has been used in a variety of historical periods to
advance creativity, achieve innovations, and guide democracies. It
will be welcomed by students in the fields of social psychology,
management/business studies, education, and communication studies.
