Even though intuition is recognized as imperative instrategic thinking management literature issurprisingly silent on the issue. This inquiry thusprovides an historical review of philosophical,psychological and management theory on intuition. Itreveals that philosophers conceive intuition asrational while psychologists tend not to.Philosophers do so primarily because intuition isanchored in Ideas, Forms and Archetypes, which areperceived as apriori laws governing and conditioningall existence. The argument is that intuition is theontological foundation for any normative theory ofrationality. Implications for the rationality debateare discussed.Three levels of intuition are discerned andcontrasted with analytical thinking. The first andsecond levels correspond to intuitions from thepersonal and collective unconscious experiencerespectively. They can be either introverted orextroverted. The third level corresponds to what somephilosophers call the non-dual, integral state of mind.
