Abstract
This conceptual article presents three propositions designed to demons trate a theoretical relationship between the groupthink and escalation commitment models. These propositions argue that groups exhibiting gr oupthink characteristics are more likely to escalate commitment to a l osing course of action than are groups not exhibiting groupthink chara cteristics.
