Question

The passage suggest which of the following about the “writers on management” mentioned in paragraph 2?

• A. They have criticized managers for not following the classical rational model of decision analysis.
• B. They have not based their analyses on a sufficiently large sample of actual managers.
• C. They have relied in drawing their conclusions on what managers say rather than on what managers do.
• D. They have misunderstood how managers use intuition in making business decisions.

Answer 1

The correct option is D

They have misunderstood how managers use intuition in making business decisions.

The author asserts that the writers in question “display a poor grasp of what intuition is”. The next paragraph presents a view what according to the author of the passage characterizes intuition more accurately than the writers on management do. Isenberg’s research is specifically described as showing the ways in which managers use intuition. Therefore, what Isenberg correctly comprehends and the writers in question misunderstand is how managers use intuition, as this choice states.
