Traditionally, decision making by managers that is reasoned step-by-step has been considered preferable to intuitive decision making  However, a recent study found that top managers used intuition significantly more than did most middle-or lower-level managers
This confirms the alternative view that intuition is actually more effective than careful, methodical reasoning
The decisions made by middle-and lower-level managers can be made as easily by using methodical reasoning as by using intuitive reasoning.
