[单项选择]Art, like words, is a form of communication.

Feelings less kind and less necessary for the well-being of humankind are replaced by others kinder and more essential to that end.

The majority of successful senior managers do not closely follow the classical rational model of first clarifying goals, assessing the problem, formulating options, estimating likelihood of success, making a decision, and only then taking action to implement the decision. Rather, in their day-by-day tactical activities, these senior executives rely on what is vaguely termed "intuition" to manage a network of interrelated problems that require them to deal with ambiguity, inconsistency, novelty, and surprise; and to integrate action into the process of thinking.
Generations of writers on management have recognized that some practicing managers rely heavily on intuition. In general, however, such writers display a poor grasp of what intuition is. Some see it as the opposite of rationality; others view it as an excuse of capriciousness.
Isenberg’s recent research on the cognitive processes of senior managers reveals that managers’ intuition is n
A. a manager analyzes a series of problems and then acts on that analysis
B. a manager gathers data by acting and then observes the effects of action
C. action and analysis in managerial practice invariably occur simultaneously
D. a manager takes action, being able to clarify reasons for that action
