Intuitive decision making is increasingly being viewed as a viable managerial decision tool in today’s complex and competitive landscape. Given the current economic conditions, the corporate environment is shaping into a very competitive and global market place such that the degree to which a company survives and thrives is based to a large extent, on the organization’s ability to make decisions with speed and accuracy. Senior executives and managers who possess the processing skills that enable them to make decisions on an intuitive level are rare within the competitive organizations. Their skills are highly sought after because their intuitive decision-making process is profoundly effective albeit their skills are not abundantly found in the workplace. This paper examines the intuitive decision-making process in the workplace identify differences in both women and men’s intuitive and the value-added advantages.
