Fisher's Phase Model is a linear, rational model applicable to small group communication decision-making. The model has four stages, and was created in 1970 century by B. A. Fisher.

Background
Fisher's Phase Model was invented by B. Aubrey Fisher, author of Small Group Decision Making, published first in the 1970s. Fisher earned his Masters and Doctorate degrees at the University of Minnesota, and later was part of the faculty at the University of Missouri and the University of Utah.

Phase Model
Fisher defined his model as being a representative phase model for decision-making with four stages. The four stages are orientation, conflict, emergence, and reinforcement. The model follows rational decision making, and must follow in the correct order, with no stages being able to switch order. The model is also sometimes known as the Decision Emergence Theory.
