Abstract

A cognitive style model provides some explanation of the processes affecting managers'' assessment of their environment. Systematic thinkers tend to look for methods, make plans, define the quality of solutions in terms of method, discard alternatives quickly, conduct ordered searches for additional information and complete all steps of the analysis they have begun. Intuitive thinkers keep the overall problem continuously in mind, redefine the problem frequently, rely on hunches, consider a number of alternatives simultaneously and explore and abandon hunches quickly.
