ANSWER THE FOLLOWING FOUR QUESTIONS
1. The textbook says that it is important for managers to combine “intuition” with the systematic
study of organizational behavior and management, including evidence-based management. Why is
this important? How does this differ from the idea that management is just “common sense“?
Hint: Rely on chapter 1 for this answer.
There is a difference between intuition, systematic study and evidence-based management, however there
is a way to connect each other. Intuition is the action of feeling something without having an effective
reason. Systematic study is based on facts and scientific evidence that back up the behavior on individuals.
Then, evidence-based management is basing managerial decision based on the latest scientific evidence.
According to the book, these approaches allow the prediction of the random behavior that individuals
reflect. Intuition is a vague feeling and it does not have a fundamental reason of people’s actions. In the
contrary, the systematic study and evidence-based management does have facts and research in deep. In
addition, it is important for managers to have a valid reason and resources to help himself to control and
guide his employees. Having scientific evidence such as researches about employee’s behavior would help
him understand and innovate with different ways to do his job and make employees feel comfortable. When
managers do not have the knowledge background about individual’s behavior it would be difficult for them
