Individual Domination
Ambiguous Responsibility

Content: All these things make prove to be time-consuming and may delay in taking proper action. Individual Domination
This is another disadvantage of the decision-making process in an organisation. There may be a possibility that all members are not treated equally in a group created for decision making. Few peoples may try to control the whole affairs and may dominate over whole discussions in meetings. People differ in their knowledge and experience in dealing with situations. This enables some people in dominating over whole group and demoralising other peoples. Ambiguous Responsibility
Another disadvantage of decision making is that responsibility is not clear. In the case of individual decision making, responsibility is on a single person. But in the case of group decision making, the whole group is involved and responsibility is not clear. This reduces the scope of accountability to one person.
