Case study: decision making

Background

Groupthink occurs when group members choose not to voice their concerns or objections because they would rather keep the peace and not annoy or antagonize others. Sometimes groupthink occurs because the group has a positive team spirit and camaraderie, and individual group members don’t want that to change by introducing conflict. It can also occur because past successes have made the team complacent where Conformity is the process of matching attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors to group norms. Conformity can be caused by a willingness to follow rules, comply with leadership wishes, and the desire for a sense of protection and security.

*Groupthink can happen in any organization, big or small, business or non-profit, and private or public. The key is to realize when it is happening in a group setting and then make the right changes that best fit the organization’s goals and objectives.

Phonegap Computer Science homework

Developing in the mobile space can be a daunting task for developers. Developers must figure out which platforms they should support for their apps, purchase the hardware, and join the developer programs for each platform. PhoneGap is an open source set of tools which enables developers to create mobile applications for multiple devices by utilizing the same code. It is a hybrid mobile application framework that allows the use of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to write applications which are based on the open standards of the web. MonoTouch and Mono for Android rely on the Mono Framework to function. Mono is a cross-platform open source implementation of the .NET Framework.
