Case Study

Discuss a case or instance of Groupthink that happened at your workplace or in a big corporation that resembles one or two of the symptoms Irving Janus identified (as discussed in Lecture 5). What countermeasures would you suggest to prevent such a Groupthink in future?
 When I grade these papers I will be looking for the usual essential points

Is your paper clear, well planned, coherent and free from technical mistakes?
Did you do a good job of presenting a Groupthink issue? Did you use the textbooks or other course material to support your points? Did you define and explain key concepts and terminology?
Is your paper well written? Does it present good overall structure and organization using paragraphs to emphasize the structure of your argument? Are there spelling and grammatical mistakes?
The minimum wording for these papers is 1000 words. (Your paper should be about 3 pages long; A4/Standard Letter size, 12 pt. font, double spaced). In short papers like these, you need to discuss issues to the point, while developing and explaining your own ideas and reactions. Organization and focus are essential to a short paper.
Your paper must have proper documentation in accordance with the MLA or APA style manual. These style manuals are available in the library and online.
Do not copy from other sources without acknowledgment. Research and Academic Honesty are important.
