Abstract
The conventional interacting group is compared with nominal and delphi groups in terms of the quantity of ideas generated and perceived satisfaction of participants. On an applied fact-finding problem with no known solution, the nominal and delphi groups are equally effective and both clearly are more effective than conventional interacting groups.Keywords
