Irving Lester Janis

Houghton Mifflin Company, 1972

Groupthink as it applies to ALL policy decisions
This text covers the Bay of Pigs invasion as well as several other whitehouse decisions by cabinet and select committee members with all the right information, yet make the wrong decisions.

As group members, each if in fear of group rejection or not ...

Groupthink in Government: A Study of Small Groups and Policy Failure
Paul 't Hart

The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1994

Why do groups of talented and experienced individuals make disastrously bad collective judgments, such as the Kennedy administration's flawed decision to proceed with the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961? In his pioneering research on collective decision making, Irving Janis introduced the concept of "groupthink" -- a deliberately Orwellian neologism -- to describe such occurrences. Now, in the first book-length study of groupthink since Janis's ...

Groupthink
Horace E Walsh

Harland Publications, 1989

This book shows how a state of groupthink (or group dynamics) has often contributed to a disaster, in secular matters as well as spiritual. One example is the role of Hebrew groupthink in the rejection and ultimate crucifixion of Jesus. Another example discussed is the ecumenical movement that seeks to unite the minds of dedicated men so much that in their passion to build one great super church they will consent to recognize the bishop of Rome ...

Janis describes the dynamic thus (Page 5): "In studies of social clubs and other small ...

Beyond Groupthink: Political Group Dynamics and Foreign Policy-making
Paul 't Hart

University of Michigan Press, 1997

Strategic issues and crises in foreign policy are usually managed by relatively small groups of elite policymakers and their closest advisors. Since the pioneering work of Irving Janis in the early 1970s, we have known that the interplay between the members of these groups can have a profound and, indeed, at times a pernicious influence on the content and quality of foreign policy decisions. Janis argued that "groupthink," a term he used to ...
