Abstract
Group think is a well-established phenomenon that has significant implications for decision-making processes within groups. This abstract aims to provide an overview of the research conducted on group think and decision making, using a Bibliometric analysis approach, performance analysis, and utilizing software such as Scopus and Web of Science (WoS). The background section of this study reviews the existing literature on group think and decision making, highlighting its origins, theoretical frameworks, and influential studies. The aim of this research is to explore the trends, patterns, and impact of group think in decision-making contexts. To achieve this objective, a Bibliometric analysis was employed, utilizing Scopus and WoS databases to identify relevant manuscripts. Performance analysis techniques were then applied to assess the impact and influence of the identified manuscripts. The results and findings of the study indicate a substantial body of research on group think and decision making, with a particular focus on its consequences in various domains such as business, politics, and organizational behavior. Co-citation analysis revealed the most influential manuscripts and their connections, providing insights into the key themes and theories in the field. Additionally, the study identified the most cited manuscripts, highlighting the seminal works that have shaped the understanding of group think and decision making. Based on the findings, it can be inferred that group think has far-reaching implications for decision-making processes, often leading to flawed outcomes and poor choices. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of recognizing and mitigating group think tendencies in order to foster more effective decision making within groups. In conclusion, this study provides a comprehensive analysis of group think and decision making through the application of Bibliometric techniques and performance analysis. The findings underscore the need for awareness and intervention to counter the detrimental effects of group think on decision-making processes.
