Explain the model of intuition and the ethical decision tree. Intuition consists of insight or knowledge that is obtained without the use of rational thought or logical inference. There are two types of intuition:

holistic hunches and automated experiences. In turn, there are two sources of intuition: expertise, which consists of an individual’s combined explicit and tacit knowledge regarding an object, person, situation, or decision opportunity; and feelings. Intuition is based on the interaction between one’s expertise and feelings in a given situation.

The ethical decision tree presents a structured approach for making ethical decisions. Managers work through the tree by answering a series of questions and the process leads to a recommended decision. P=879
