THE APPLICATION OF GROUP DECISION MAKING PROCESSES TO THE MILITARY ORGANIZATION.
Abstract
The military on the American scene, comprises the largest and most complex organization known. Multitudinous decisions are necessarily an integral of such a system all the way from the basic unit, or level, on through the highest; both in war and in peace. Due to the possible impact on the lives of millions of Americans who comprise the military world, as well as the national security and the gross national produce, it is imperative that the best possible and most timely decisions be reached. In certain areas of responsibility, group-decision making techniques may allow a closer approach to this utopian state. Initially, an over-view of the group decision making process is presented as gleaned from available information on the subject. A typical military organization is described to serve as a model for this paper. (Author)
