Summary
How ""Aha!"" really happens. When do you get your best ideas? You probably answer ""At night, "" or ""In the shower, "" or ""Stuck in traffic."" You get a flash of insight. Things come together in your mind. You connect the dots. You say to yourself, ""Aha! I see what to do."" Brain science now reveals how these flashes of insight happen. It's a special form of intuition. We call it strategic intuition, because it gives you an idea for action-a strategy. Brain science tells us there are three kinds of intuition: ordinary, expert, and strategic. Ordinary intuition is just a fe.

Summary
Accounting is the score keeping system in the "game" of business--you can't do well in any "game" if you don't understand how the score is kept. This book is intended to benefit practicing managers, MBA students, and nonaccounting business majors. United States financial reporting standards are compared and contrasted with international financial reporting standards where appropriate. The book emphasizes how management's choice of accounting methods and their required estimates in reporting transactions and events impact financial statements, both immediately and in the future. Unlike typical accounting books, journal entries are not used to illustrate topical coverage. This unique book exclusively provides a user's decision-making perspective by using the accounting equation format to directly illustrate financial statement effects of transactions and events. Most of the topics addressed in this book are typically studied by accounting majors in the two course "intermediate" accounting sequence, but the text also includes discussion of consolidations--a topic generally covered in the "advanced" accounting course. Intermediate accounting textbooks alone typically exceed well over 1,500 pages. By exclusively applying a user's perspective, and limiting topical content to areas relevant for decision making, this book allows nonaccountants to acquire the requisite underlying knowledge in a concise, easy to understand text.

Summary
"A good business case is so much more than simply the means to justify a decision. A well-written and well-researched business case will secure funding; make sure any project stays on the right side of regulation; mobilize support for the cause; provide the platform for managing the project and the benchmark against which to measure progress." "Ian Gambles' Making the Business Case shows you how to make sense of the task at hand, develop a strategy, articulate your options, define the benefits, establish the costs, identify the risks and make a compelling case." "Just as with the best business cases, the text is concise, jargon-free and easy to read; illustrated throughout with practical examples drawn from real cases and including reflective exercises at the end of each chapter to help you consolidate what you have learned.".

Summary
Marketing decisions often misfire when driven more by beliefs than by knowledge. This book guides readers on how to differentiate between the two and to think more clearly and correctly when making those decisions, thereby increasing organizational success. The book is based on the fields of epistemology-- the study of how knowledge is created--and the philosophy of science--the study of what it means for a science to be called a science. The motivation behind the book is quite simple: Given that science is so successful, why shouldn't marketers borrow thinking and reasoning skills from science and apply them to marketing? Indeed, why not? Section 1 lays the groundwork for learning how to apply scientific reasoning to the field of marketing. It covers some basic and important definitions ("What is a belief?" "What is knowledge?"), identifies barriers to scientific reasoning, and gives an example from The Dow Chemical Company about how this manufacturer uses critical thinking and reasoning skills to make more effective marketing and business decisions. Section 2 presents the necessary "thinking tools" you will need to apply scientific reasoning to solving your marketing problems. It introduces topics relating to attributes versus constructs, the meaning of causation, the relationship between coherence and justified beliefs, the importance of logic to sound reasoning, and the avoidance of logical fallacies in making sound recommendations. The book's final section focuses on the role that theory development plays in helping marketers transform mere "beliefs" into "knowledge." Additionally, there is a separate chapter on brainstorming that presents ideas on how marketers can use their brain power to create potentially useful insights into factors influencing customer behavior. The book concludes by giving readers direction to further improve their ability to apply scientific reasoning to solve marketing problems.
