Intuition

Even though intuition is recognized as imperative in
strategic thinking management literature is
surprisingly silent on the issue. This inquiry thus
provides an historical review of philosophical,
psychological and management theory on intuition. It
reveals that philosophers conceive intuition as
rational while psychologists tend not to.
Philosophers do so primarily because intuition is
anchored in Ideas, Forms and Archetypes, which are
perceived as apriori laws governing and conditioning
all existence. The argument is that intuition is the
ontological foundation for any normative theory of
rationality. Implications for the rationality debate
are discussed.

Three levels of intuition are discerned and
contrasted with analytical thinking. The first and
second levels correspond to intuitions from the
personal and collective unconscious experience
respectively. They can be either introverted or
extroverted. The third level corresponds to what some
philosophers call the non-dual, integral state of
mind.
