dc.description.abstract | This study will examine how the structure of preferences of group members in a
decision-making group, as well as the information they have, affects the collection and
the processing of information by individual members of a decision making group.
Structure of preferences in this study will represent each individual group members’
preference towards a particular course of action. Using an experimental method of
analysis, this study will examine how the preference structure of a group affects what
and how much information a group member will analyze before making a decision. I
hypothesize that the structure of the group members’ preferences should affect the
subjects’ search and process of information. This study aims to answer the following
questions; do group preferences affect the search and processing of information? Do
group members thoroughly survey the objectives and alternatives in the decision making
process? | en |
