Conway · Answer 1

The correct answer is The minority decision theory.

Explanation:

In this case, a meeting should be held in order to consider the opinions of the people potentially involved in the new project, since they know aspects of the work and can give better feedback to the management of the company. Considering that only half of the workforce is working, the decision they make will be a minority one, since it only includes a part of the employees who must decide for everyone in general.
