Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from User Approaches to Computer-Supported Teams
The team has to decide. There are seven different views among the seven team members, but they have to reach one decision. The first thing they agree upon, though not easily, is how to phrase the question, how to decide what they have to decide. Next, the gdss asks them for anonymous judgments, it asks them about their own uncertainties, and it asks them to self-rate their expertise. After all the team members have entered their judg ments, the system does some aggregation of the Opinions and feeds back a first round set of judgments from the group. The group goes through a series of these rounds until a decision is reached. The system certainly does not make the decision, but it provides an effective and efficient group decision-making process.
