Abstract

This essay is an exploration of the respects in which the scholarship relating to decision making and problem solving by eight major figures not in the field of Communication has fostered the development of better understandings of these processes by those in the discipline concerned with how interaction influences the prospects for effective choice making in groups. Of interest are the unique contributions of John Dewey, Kurt Lewin, Robert Freed Bales, Herbert A. Simon, Irving L. Janis, Howard Raiffa, Lee Roy Beach, and Max H. Bazerman.
