Employing a lighter tone of voice than most management books, it also shows how and when less-than-rational mechanisms such as intuition and heuristics may be efficient decision-making tools in any managers toolbox. Critical thinking is useful for analyzing incoming information in the context of decision-making and is crucial for structuring outgoing information in the context of persuasion. When trying to convince a client to buy a service, an executive board to fund a project, or a colleague to change a procedure, managers can use the simple step-by-step guides provided here to prepare for successful meetings and effective pitches. Managerial thinking can be steadily improved, using a structured process, especially if we learn to think about our thinking. This book guides current and would-be managers through this process of improving and metathinking, in connection with decision-making and persuasion. Using examples from business, together with research insights from Behavioral Economics and from Management and Organizational Cognition, the author illustrates common pitfalls like hidden assumptions and cognitive biases, and provides easy-to-use solutions for testing hypotheses and resolving dilemmas."--ProQuest website 001436581 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from resource home page (ProQuest Ebook Central, viewed January 11, 2022). 001436581 650_0 $$aDecision making. 001436581 650_0 $$aManagement. 001436581 650_0 $$aCritical thinking. 001436581 650_6 $$aPrise de décision. 001436581 650_6 $$aGestion. 001436581 650_6 $$aPensée critique. 001436581 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001436581 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aAtanasiu, Radu.$$tCritical Thinking for Managers.$$dCham : Springer International Publishing AG, ©2021$$z9783030735999 001436581 830_0 $$aManagement for professionals. 001436581 852__ $$bebk 001436581 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-73600-2$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001436581 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1436581$$pGLOBAL_SET 001436581 980__ $$aBIB 001436581 980__ $$aEBOOK 001436581 982__ $$aEbook 001436581 983__ $$aOnline 001436581 994__ $$a92$$bISE
