Brief Communication: Phronesis knowledge as enabler of intuitive decision making. Knowledge Organization. 42(1).https://escholar.umt.edu.pk/handle/123456789/1560Drawing on Nonaka and colleagues’ recent concept of phronesis, as a third type of knowledge that is connoted with practical wisdom, the present article proposes that intuitive decision making ability propels with phronesis. Furthermore, it proposes that cognitive adaptability—as the ability to quickly make sense of changing and complex situations – along with personality, as consistent patterns of behaviors based on social learning, are antecedents of phronesis. The article furnishes a conceptual frame based on contemporary literature on intuition, phronesis, cognitive adaptability, situated cognition, metacognition, and social learning theory of personality.CognitiveCognitionPersonalityAdaptabilityKnowledgeArticle
