arising, he/she has to consider the opportunities ahead. Questions like

develop. It could grow into trend.
2. Reflect on your own. What do you have at the moment? Look outside
your business and see what they are doing. They may be using things
that you do not use yet and find them useful. When they adapt the
trend, would you do it the same way they would do things or find your

ahead and be a leader of the trend?

Whenever people are faced with different kinds of problems, it is
very crucial to think of means of addressing them and preventing those
circumstances from happening again. But solutions are greatly influenced
by the manner in which one defines the problem and adopts a solution
based on his/her own understanding. There are basically two different
perspectives in addressing the problem.

goals.
Analytical thinking focuses and deals with concerns at a particular time. It
also contains time, is deconstructive, but is subject to disorientation, brain-
centered and tends to the abstract. It is considered efficient in the following
conditions: sufficient time, relatively static conditions, a clear differentiation
between the observer and the observed. It is best suited for dealing with
complexities, and works best where there are established criteria for analysis
(for example, rules of law). It is requires an explanation, seeks the best option,
and can be taught in classroom to beginners.
2. Intuitive thinking is the kind of thinking that helps one understand reality
by perception or intuition without logic or analysis. It derived its confidence
from experiences. There are no analytical steps or methods but based its
action from observed indicators in the organizational environment. It
allows individual to develop his own mode of solution in addressing stra-
tegic issues. Intuitive approaches are personal and custom-made. It some-
times derived a problem-based solution that is not quite easy to share
and at times too difficult to copy or adapt. Managers utilized the power
of persuasion to get people agree rather than the logical sense of com-
ing up with an action.
Intuition works best where the observer has the same experience in the
particular situation. It is difficult to teach in the classroom, has the tendency
to work on feelings in favour of a more workable solution. Intuition is ex-
perience translated by expertise to produce rapid action.
