Groups face several threats to their effectiveness, including groupthink, social loafing, and risky shift. [1] Groupthink occurs when the desire to conform leads to defective decision making, symptoms include rationalizing and self-censorship. [2] Social loafing is when individuals exert less effort working in a group, caused by factors like lack of accountability. [3] Risky shift refers to groups taking higher risks than individuals due to diffused responsibility for outcomes.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

What can be done to prevent groupthink?
11. 11Symptoms of Groupthink Lead to

• Self-censorship
• Illusion of unanimity
• Peer pressure
• Mind guards
Decision-Making Defects

rejected alternatives
• Selection bias of new
information
• No contingency plans
12. 12Social Loafing
• Decrease in the effort of an individual as the group size increases.
• The tendency for individuals to exert less effort while working in a group
as the size of the group increases.
Causes for social loafing:
Equitable contribution
Submaximal goal setting
Lessened contingency between input and outcome
Lack of evaluation

Non-cohesive group
13. 13Preventing Social Loafing:

14. 14Risky Shift
• Some groups are equipped to take higher risk than
individuals and the phenomenon is called “risky
shift” phenomenon.
• When individuals take decisions in the group,
certain factors determine the degree of risk shift.
• When individuals take decisions as a group, they
do not have the responsibility for the outcome of
individual level.
Groups are majorly divided into two categories. First one is the formal group, which are formed by the organization, to fulfill a task. The other one is an informal group, formed by the employees as per their likes, interests, and attitudes.
