Notes: A persistent problem in the management of response to disasters is the lack of co-ordination between the various agencies involved. This article reports a case study of inter-agency co-ordination during the response to a railway accident in the United Kingdom. The case examined two potential sources of difficulty for co-ordination: first, poorly shared mental models; and second, a possible conflict between the requirements of distributed decision-making and the nature of individual decision-makingRelated records: En: Ergonomics. - London and Washington. - Vol. 43, nº 8, August 2000 ; p. 1153-1166Materia / lugar / evento: Coordinación Toma de decisiones en grupo Trabajo en equipo Grupos de trabajo Efectividad organizacional Accidentes Psicología de la prevención Casos prácticos Reino Unido Otros autores: Dowell, John
