This conceptual paper examines reasons why analytically educated learners may be reluctant to engage in sensory-based learning. Sensing is indispensable for constructing knowledge and should be employed on par with the intellect, particularly in today's complex and uncertain context. Yet, we have observed learners' reluctance to engage with sensing...
The literature on intuition within the management scholarship identified six necessary and sufficient characteristics that define intuition: intuition is rapid, alogical, holistic, tacit, has an intrinsic certainty, and is spontaneous (cf Dane & Pratt, 2007; Dörfler & Ackermann, 2012; Kahneman, 2003: 698; Sadler-Smith, 2008: 13). These features are...
In the last twenty years research on the relationship between creativity and intuition experienced a dramatic growth that is witnessed by a number of conceptual and empirical papers. Nevertheless, many grey areas remain. This chapter outlines emerging trends in research design and methodology, concerning this topic. The findings are the outcome of...
Decision-making is a multifaceted, socially constructed, human activity that is often non-rational and non-linear. Although the decision-making literature has begun to recognize the effect of affect on decisions, examining for example the contribution of bodily sensations to affect, it continues to treat the various processes involved in coming to...
Purpose
– The aim of this paper is threefold: to provide a framework for a better understanding of the relationship between creativity, knowledge creation/sharing, and organizational change; to define the key elements at individual and collective level that may contribute to the development of organizational spaces that favour a climate for creativ...
Students' learning activities frequently compete with their leisure options, leading to regret after decisions to study. Using a sample of 233 German and 194 Australian undergraduate students, the authors explored possible determinants of the personality construct regret. They investigated whether the level to which students rely on intuition in de...
The presented study evaluates whether the decision mode for engaging in a task is relevant not only for the quality of the experience during an activity, as reflected in the occurrence of motivational interference and the possibility to enter flow, but also for the experience of regret. Intuitive in contrast to deliberative decision mode is hypothe...
This article outlines advances in intuition research and draws attention to several misconceptions, based on conflicting assumptions about the intuition construct and the intuiting process. In particular, it focuses on the distinction between process and outcome, the role of consciousness and affect, the research focus on decision making or problem...
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explore how Australian fashion designers perceive the impact and opportunities offered by the Chinese textile and clothing industry.
Design/methodology/approach
A qualitative research design used personally administered, semi‐structured interviews. A purposeful sample used interviewees drawn from proactive f...
his exploratory study investigates the relationship between affective climate and creativity as contributing factors to knowledge creation in organizations. Organizational creativity represents a source of new task-related ideas, implemented in the form of innovation. We argue that creativity is inherently linked to the process of knowledge creatio...
Although the use of intuition in managerial decisions has been documented, many questions about the intuitive process and its antecedent stages remain unanswered, in particular the role of affective traits and states. The study reported in this article investigates whether decision makers who are more attuned to own emotions and experience a partic...

This article proposes that efficiency of hotel organizations could be improved by integrating service-oriented operations with project management principles. Such integration would instill innovation, proactive attitudes and regulated risk-taking needed to pursue ongoing improvement and proactive response to change. By managing each change as a pro...
Research on individual differences in information processing is characterized by two incompatible theoretical perspectives. The unitary view postulates that analysis and intuition are the opposite poles of a single dimension, whereas the dual-process view proposes that they are independent constructs. We investigated this issue using two establishe...
This important Handbook explores how to make sense of dynamic environments and respond strategically to them during the 21st century. Leading scholars of strategic management are brought together to offer innovative and multi-disciplinary perspectives on the past, present and future of strategy formulation and foresight. In so doing they challenge...
In recent years there has been a growth of interest in the role played by intuitive judgment in entrepreneurial cognition and behavior. However, the significance of the role of affect in intuitive judgment has been underplayed by entrepreneurship researchers. In response to this theoretical and empirical shortcoming we propose recognition-primed de...
Faced with today's ill-structured business environment of fast-paced change and rising uncertainty, organizations have been searching for management tools that will perform satisfactorily under such ambiguous conditions. In the arena of managerial decision making, one of the approaches being assessed is the use of intuition. Based on our definition...
Thesis (Ph. D.)--University of Queensland, 2003. Includes bibliographical references.
It may sound like heresy, but making the 'fuzzy' discipline of management even fuzzier is paying dividends for business leaders. Indeed, an increasing number of CEOs and senior managers are now questioning the conventional wisdom that decision-making should be strictly analytical – they have found that sometimes it should be intuitive. This article...

This Research Topic, hosted by Frontiers in Psychology, aims to shed light on the influence of culture on creativity in the workplace.
it is plausible to argue that the relationship between culture and creativity in the workplace, which has widely been recognized as a critical issue, seems to be still overlooked. There is an emerging need to provide systematic and accurate frameworks on the cross-cultural and intercultural dimensions of creativity in the workplace.
The goal is to fill this gap by profiling the current conceptual and empirical research on two main levels: 1. The relationship between cultural diversity and organizational creativity; 2. The role of intercultural relationships in facilitating or obstructing creativity in the workplace.
