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.
