The Measurement of the Team Orientation on A Group Decision Making and The Applications

Abstract

This paper proposes to measure of the Team Orientation (consensus degree of a purpose) in a group decision making on a business. A group demonstrates big capability if a purpose of the group is agreed from the members. If we have the measure of the Team Orientation in a group decision making, then it contributes to activation and increase in efficiency of organizations greatly. The bosses and leaders can measure working efficiency using the Team Orientation. I proposed the “distance-adjusted covariates method” for group decision making analysis. This method can categorize group to 4 areas using “VDI (Variety Dispersion Index)” and “ranking values”. These are defined in this method. In this paper, I show that the VDI expresses the Team Orientation in a group decision making. A business simulation game is used as a practical scene of an experiment in this paper. It can make a practical scene of a business. This paper aims to show that the proposed method can analyze in detail a group’s behavior on practical scene of business using VDI. As a result, the signs that the group’s purpose going in agreement were evaluated by the VDI. And we found that if a team has high consensus degree then the team has high performance.
