A MINI-PAPER ON GROUPTHINK
This paper was written by Geoffrey A. Walker (University of Northumbria), Paul Robinson (Leeds University), and Susanne Justesen (INNOVERSITY Research). The title of the working paper is "Groupthink Revisited: Communities of Practice, In-groups, Out-groups and the Space Between".

This paper revisits Irving Janis' theory of groupthink in the light of the ongoing debate on legitimate peripheral participation in communities of practice. We argue for a movement in perception from the linear development of community formation to a multi-dimensional model based upon the inter-relationship of the domains of community, practice, meaning, and identity.

Janis' theory of groupthink is outlined and communities of practice defined. From these definitions, we go on to examine the significance of in-groups and out-groups, applying Janis' model to patterns of collaboration and situated learning.
