Abstract: | Theory and practice indicate that managers experience considerable difficulty and exhibit limited rationality as they attempt to grasp, process, and understand the often ambiguous requirements of managerial tasks. The article argues the efficacy of mental imagery and visualization as a means to overcome such human limitation. The authors note the theoretical and conceptual underpinnings of mental imagery and apply them to the "episodic performance situations" inherent in the reality of management practice. |
