Traditionally, decision making by managers that is reasoned step-by-step has been considered preferable to intuitive decision making. However, a recent study found that top managers used intuition significantly more than did most middle-or lower-level managers. This confirms the alternative view that intuition is actually more effective than careful, methodical reasoning. The conclusion above is based on which of the following assumptions?
A: The decisions made by middle-and lower-level managers can be made as easily by using methodical reasoning as by using intuitive reasoning.
B: Top managers are more effective at decision making than middle-or lower-level managers.
C: Methodical, step-by-step reasoning is inappropriate for making many real-life management decisions.
D: Top managers have the ability to use either Intuitive reasoning or methodical, step-by-step reasoning in making decisions.
