Although I fully agree with the writer on his view that B-Schools can't possibly teach intuition I beg to differ on his other views. I feel that in order to be intuitive, one needs to be innovative, something that the work environment of the company needs to provide. And obviously when one tries to be innovative there is bound to be a % of failure which the company should be in a position to stomach. Only then can one one hope to be intuitive.
Unfortunately in day-to-day business, where quick decisions are required to be made one cannot be expected to be intuitive unless the person has rich experience in the field. Thus I believe innovation and intuition should best be left to the R& D unit of the company which inturn can suggest fresh approaches and innovative procedures to increase efficiency and productivity.Only when this is systematically done will it result in intuition.
Hence it is ridiculous to expect intuition from even products of the top B-Schools.
