Quote preview background for Fred R. David
Although some organizations today may survive and prosper because they have intu- itive geniuses managing them, most are not so fortunate. Most organizations can benefit from strategic management, which is based upon integrating intuition and analysis in decision making. Choosing an intuitive or analytic approach to decision making is not an either__r proposition. Managers at all levels in an organization inject their intuition and judgment into strategic-management analyses. Analytical thinking and intuitive thinking complement each other. Operating from the I__e-already-made-up-my-mind-don__-bother-me-with-the-facts mode is not management by intuition; it is management by ignorance. Drucker says, __ believe in intuition only if you discipline it. __unch_ artists, who make a diagnosis but don__ check it out with the facts, are the ones in medicine who kill people, and in management kill businesses.
