Passage 13 結(jié)論解釋型(經(jīng)理人的直覺)
    提出主題:很多經(jīng)理人員要依賴直覺,后面才講直覺的特點The majority(本以為是老觀點,但是看到后面有do not follow,可以判斷不是) of successful(+) senior managers do not closely follow the classical(這個才是老觀點) rational model of first clarifying goals*1D*4C, assessing*4A the problem, formulating options*4B, estimating likelihoods of success*4E, making a decision, and only then taking action to implement the decision.(強(qiáng)對比兩方只需看一方,另一方可以取非,因此這里講經(jīng)典模式可以不看) Rather(轉(zhuǎn)折), in their day-by-day (day-by-day: adj.每天的day-to-day: adj.日常的, 逐日的) tactical maneuvers, these senior executives rely on what is vaguely termed “intuition” to manage a network of一系列 interrelated problems that require them to deal with ambiguity, inconsistency, novelty, and surprise; and to integrate action into the process of thinking.(主題句)
    過去對直覺的錯誤理解:管理學(xué)作家的觀點——兩種(要注意和作者不一定一致)Generations of writers on management have recognized that some practicing managers rely heavily on intuition. In general, however(極端轉(zhuǎn)折,和作者的不同), such writers display a poor grasp*2D(-) of what intuition is. Some see it as the opposite of rationality; others view it as an excuse for capriciousness任性,反復(fù)無常.
    直覺的5個特點/5種運(yùn)用方法Isenberg’s recent research on the cognitive processes of senior managers reveals that managers’ intuition is neither of these(指第二段結(jié)尾的兩種說法). Rather, senior managers use intuition in at least five distinct ways. First, they intuitively sense when a problem exists*1B. Second, managers rely on intuition to perform well-learned behavior熟知的行為 patterns rapidly*7E. This intuition is not arbitrary or irrational, but(轉(zhuǎn)折) is based on years of painstaking practice and hands-on experience親手實踐的經(jīng)驗 that build skills. A third function of intuition is to synthesize*3C isolated bits of data and practice*1C into an integrated picture, often in an “Aha!”恍然大悟 experience. Fourth, some managers use intuition as a check on the results*1E of more rational analysis. (以下是廢話,可暫時不讀)Most senior executives are familiar with the formal decision analysis models and tools, and those who use such systematic methods for reaching decisions are occasionally leery (leery: SUSPICIOUS, WARY often used with of) of solutions suggested by these methods which run counter to (run counter to: v.違反, 背道而馳) their sense of the correct course of action. Finally, managers can use intuition to bypass繞開,繞過 in-depth analysis and move rapidly to engender a plausible solution*1A. (以下是廢話,可暫時不讀)Used in this way, intuition is an almost instantaneous cognitive process in which a manager recognizes familiar patterns.
    以下兩段講直覺的一個重要含義:想/做循環(huán)One of the implications of the intuitive style of executive management is that “thinking” is inseparable from acting.(本段的主題句) Since(原因) managers often “know” what is right before they can analyze and explain it, they frequently act first and explain later. Analysis is inextricably tied to action in thinking/acting cycles(文章后面出現(xiàn)的新名詞,一般都是很重要的語言), in which(新名詞的解釋一定要看) managers develop thoughts about their companies and organizations not by analyzing a problematic situation and then acting, but by actingand analyzing(by doing,重要內(nèi)容) in close concert協(xié)作,合作.
    幾種可能性:繼續(xù)講原因——本文的模式;總結(jié)歸納;延伸性內(nèi)容Given the great uncertainty of many of the management issues that they face, senior managers often instigate a course of一系列 action simply to learn more about an issue. They then use the results of the action to develop a more complete understanding of the issue. One implication of thinking/acting cycles(和上一段一個內(nèi)容) is that action is often part of defining認(rèn)識(=understanding) the problem, not just of implementing the solution.

    (B) Manager X checks possible solutions to a problem by systematic analysis; Manager Y does not.
