		Any Manager Must Make Informed and Educated Decisions Jaap de Jonge, Editor, Netherlands
	I agree with you that making any decision based on facts or information is important. Otherwise you’re not making business decisions, but you‘re gambling. One step further: any manager or leader should make EDUCATED decisions under normal circumstances that is.

And the risk attitude of the decision-maker is also playing a role. You might want to take a look at an earlier very good discussion about the role of gut feeling in decision-making.
