Types of Groups
 Formal
These groups are established by
the organisation to accomplish
specific tasks. These groups
include Command Groups which
consist of managers and their
direct subordinates, and
Committees and Task Forces
which are created to carry out
“specific" organisational
assignments or activities.
Informal
These groups are formed within
the structure of the
organisation but by the
members themselves rather
than by the organisation.
Sometimes they do not have
the approval of the
management. Basically,
informal groups are formed to
satisfy social needs on the job.

 Groupthink
A phenomenon in which the norm for
consensus overrides the realistic appraisal
of an alternative course of action. Members
apply direct pressure on those who express
doubts about shared views or who question
the alternative favoured by the majority.
Groupshift
A change in decision risk between the
group's decision and the individual
decision that a member within the
group would make; can be either
toward conservatism or greater risk.
