The reading and the lecture are both about the effectiveness of groupthink, which is an assemble of group of people to brainstorm and solves particular problem. The author of the reading mentions about the advantages of groupthink, while the professor casts doubt on the claims made by the author. He thinks that working in group constrains people thought, promote the irrational reassuring and make people irresponsible with their job.
First of all, the author of the reading believes that groupthink will be the combine of many interllectuals from broad field of expertises. Therefore, the final decison made by groups of people is the rational and correct choice. The professor argues this point made by the author. He states that when working in group, people have a tendency to come up with conformed idea, no matter how irrational it might be. As the result, the combinations of variety of conformed ideas will lead to the irrational choice.
Secondly, the reading suggests that groupthink encourages team members and increase the productivity of each person. The proffesor is not in agreement with this notion. He thinks that groupthink make people irresponsible for their thinking and the consequences that made by the team, even if it is a big failure, will not land the blame on any member of the team.
Finally, the lecturer given out failure of Ford mobile company as the example for the reassuring phenomenon created by members of the group. As he explains the human mind that reassure themself when they working in a team, the effect of this way of thinking resulted in wrong choice of plan. The campain of Ford was falied due to the agreement of all members of the team, even though the plan was not good. This contradicts the point made by the author who believes the groupthink is better than individual work.
