摘要：This paper aims to offer arguments in support of epistemic value of collective decision-making, as well as to identify factors that contribute to its success. Given that this form of decision-making is present in various fields of human action, we will present the parallels between decision-making in the economic organizations and in democratic theory. Noting the similarities in the development of decision-making theory in those two areas and the general shift from individual to collective cognitive competencies, we will argue that the specific insights of organizational theory came should be applied to democratic decision-making if we are to improve it. More specifically, we will argue that the Page’s cognitive model of collective decision-making, that came from modern organizational theory, based on the logic of diversity, can well be justified and applied to the democratic, especially deliberative institutions for solving political problems.
