INTRODUCTION
Whenever people are involved in a group project, there are multiple experiences that
are incurred from the entire duration that they spend working together that is both positive
and negative. There are a lot of dynamics involved in undertaking group projects as the direct
success and failure chances related to any task can be influenced both positively and
negatively by the behavioural traits of all the people involved (Servaes, 2020). Decision
making is also an important aspect of working in teams to accomplish one common goal as
there is existence of multiple opinions and difference in choices which have to be overcome
by applying proper concepts of conflict management and models of decision making and
teamwork.
This report will focus on the key event occurrences that had a direct influence on the
decision making powers and flow of autonomy in a group setting in which a presentation was
prepared by a group. There will be a reflective account which will be given using models
such as Tuckman’s stages of team development and Gibb’s reflective cycle.

communication, teamwork and decision making along with financial simulation planning.
(Obsuwan, and et.al., 2021). These are all important skills to have for the future employment
chances of all of us. Over the course of the entire project, there are many events which
occurred which not only shaped the experience that each of us felt while undertaking this task
but also impacted the final result and overall flow and pattern of decision making that I
participated in. Some of these important events are listed herein.

a part of was a business simulation which is a popular and interactive way to teach
complex and practical business learnings by actively engaging with the organization
and its functions rather than doing rote learning through books. One major event that
