DECISION-MAKING PROCESS AND CONSENSUS FORMATION

The aim of the paper is to draw up a model of consensus formation on problem solving in a group in relation to the decision-making process. The model will help to enhance our understanding of group behaviour. First, the main elements and relations of the system are identified and described and a mathematical model is created using mathematical equations. Second, impact of the changes of independent variables on dependent variables is tested and compared to our experience. Some conclusions resulting from the proposed model and its testing are also interpreted.
