Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores how senior executives employ intuitive and implicit mental models to make decisions and gain insights. The author argues that these mental models are powerful tools that can help executives simplify complex situations, identify important variables, and generate and evaluate alternatives. These implicit models are often developed through years of experience and observation and are not usually put down on paper or analyzed quantitatively. They are often simple and imprecise, but they can be highly effective in helping executives make decisions under uncertainty. The author also discusses the potential problems with these implicit models, such as their lack of transparency and their susceptibility to bias. However, the author concludes that these implicit models are essential tools for senior executives and that they can be supported through the use of information technology and other tools.
