What is intuition? Simply said, intuition is what your feeling said.

Intuition, once was very powerful and popular management tools, when businessman executed many deals based on it - sometimes not based on scientific facts. Traditional chinese traders are good intuition users.

When Western influences came to Asian, intuition became a weird jargon, then sometimes being asked of its truthfulness.

On the other hand - many sucessfull business decision scrutinized by researchers, intuition involves in many parts.

Time change - as well as the mindsets...

Western's thoughts, stressed on principles right - wrong, direct expression and assertiveness.

Intuition is able to go beyond time and space - to enable a person to make "peculiar decisions" which not common in its market situation that time - however a really big proved business tactic afterwards.

For instance when Lippo Group in Indonesia developed Karawaci - known distance&remote in 80's, became a prominent satellite city of Jakarta in 1990.

The other one, when USSR (Russia) fell aparts into several counties, Oriflame kept decision to operate rather than dismantled its business.
