About the Course
Throughout this course, you will be guided to take a structured approach to dismantle and clarify the various components of problems, and understand the inputs and implications of your thought processes. This way of thinking will allow you to develop positions on issues that are logical and explicable to others.

course aim
This course will teach you that the ability to think critically and make the right decisions in specific situations is just as important in professional life as it is in personal life. Critical thinking and decision making skills are not the same thing as intelligence, rather they require a focus on examining multiple points of view and using objective, bias-free thinking.
As a result of using critical thinking skills, managers can make effective decisions by identifying and choosing the best option among multiple alternatives in specific situations. Business decisions based on critical thought processes are reasoned and defensible. Effective managers who have good thinking skills guided by the norms of rationality can work more logically to implement strategic business plans.
