Which of the following choices is an example of a risky shift during group decision-making?
  1. Businessmen decide to make an offer on a real estate purchase.
  2. Girl scouts sell cookies in a new neighborhood.
  3. A group of tourists take the subway instead of a bus.
  4. All of the above
  5. None of the above
Explanation
Answer: E - Based on the information given, none of these answers is a risky shift. However, if additional information indicates that a group is taking a risk they would not have taken had they made the decision individually, then the group’s actions would be considered a risky shift. If some or all of the tourists individually feel that the subway is less safe than the bus, then they are taking a risk as a group.
