Group Decision Making Characteristics in Korean Business Firms

Abstract

Individuals and groups routinely make decisions in any organizations. As the organizational environments become more complicated, group decision making is preferred because various information and expertise can be shared in addition to a synergy effect. It is

generally known that managers spend some 25 - 50% of their time for communication through meetings(Mintzberg, 1983). A lot of research focused on improving the efficiency

and effectiveness of decision making in all levels and functional areas of organization.
