DIVERSITY OF THINKING WHEN MAKING MANAGEMENT DECISIONS

Management is diverse and multi-optional, that is why it cannot be minimized to one of its options, no matter how perfect it may seem. Management is based on striving towards harmony (agreement, organisation, coordination, etc.), that is, harmony of balance, resistance and combinations. The concept reflects the unique ability of a person to combine in research their knowledge with predictions, existing understanding of certain events, beliefs and assumptions about the essence of the first and second order. Empirical thinking is also important, prioritising experience, generalisation, limitation by experience and relies solely on the results of experience in assessing. The existence of experience is seen as the highest form of proof and argumentation. The factorial type of thinking is manifested in the systematisation of facts and assessments, in the construction of a whole logical chain of research and conclusions on specific facts. Sometimes such thinking is accompanied by artificial exaggeration of certain facts due to insufficiently in-depth understanding of the role of a fact in determining the essence of the event. In this case, there is a threat that scientific explanation will be replaced by factorial one, which is usually limited to existing facts, however it does not always facilitate to fact-finding, identification and in-depth understanding. The thinking of any researcher can be assessed in the context of a mechanism, i.e. in the context of a set of tools used in the thinking process, thanks to which ideas are born, conclusions, thoughts, and hypotheses are generated, arguments are sought and the acquired knowledge is implemented.
