How does good decision making influence unequal power relationships​

In organizational decision making, the dominance by a power figure in a group discussion is frequently an inhibiting force that hinders a group from effective performance and from reaching effective decisions. This problem provides an impetus for searching for methods to mitigate the disruptive effects of power inequalities. This study proposes a new method: assignment of a majority rule. Specifically, this study suggests that assignment of a majority rule in some unequal-power groups has a greater potential for reducing power inequalities than a unanimity rule or no assigned decision rule.
