1. Describe the importance of the individual in the decision making process and how that might influence group decision making

Answer- Decision making is basically a process in which a person or group of people discuss about something important so that the outcome can be beneficial. When decision making involves a group of people it is called a group decision making.An individual's thoughts and point of view is really important for making a good decision. In a group there are different people with different ideas in their mind so this gives a plus point to the whole group and will have a potential for collecting more data and information which will help a lot in the decision making process.So many different views regarding a topic will help in making a better decision. An individual learns about his/her hidden talent while participating is such process, and it will also boost the individual's self confidence as well.Every individual of the group has an impact on the final decision and that is why it is important to listen to everyone's point of view. For example if there is a inter school debate competition and you have to perform it in groups so first you will discuss about your debate topic and points to discuss on the same, so for that you will want such members in your group who are more dedicated towards their work who are ready to put in some efforts and collect most relevant points for discussion and also study about the pros and cons of that topic and try to make themselves well prepared for the debate competition which will help your group to get a positive outcome. So in the same way an individual's dedication and hardwork his talent and knowledge will help in making the strong core for their decision and help the group to get to a positive outcome that will also help their organization.
