Lost at Sea PARTI - IN CLASS This exercise is designed to demonstrate the value of group decision making. The exercise requires that you first make a set of decisions individually and then repeat the Same decisions using a group format. You are adrift on a private yacht in the South Pacific. Because of a fire of unknown origin, much of the yacht and its contents have been destroyed. The yacht is now slowly sinking. Your location is unclear because critical navigational equipment was destroyed and you and the crew were distracted trying to bring the fire under control. Your best estimate is that you are approximately 1,000 miles south-southwest of the nearest land. Below is a list of 15 items that are intact and undamaged after the fire. In addition to these articles, you have a serviceable rubber life raft with oars large enough to carry yourself, the crew, and all the items listed below. The total contents of all survivors' pockets are a package of cigarettes, several books of matches, and five one-dollar bills. Your task is to rank the 15 items below in terms of their importance to your survival. Place the number 1 by the most important items, the number 2 by the second most important, and so on through number 15, the least important.
