A Philosophy For Business Decision-Making: An Analyst’s Brief Guide

Submitted by Jonathon Neil on Thu, 01/24/2013 - 18:32

Philosophy can be described as the study of what ought to happen. This of course is different than what does happen. This struggle between ought and is has consumed the greatest minds, from Plato and Aristotle to Kant, Descartes and Russell. I will not even begin to touch on the metaphysical, the deontological, or the normative theories of the human experience. But I do want to briefly outline a personal philosophy on analytics in business, or what ought to be in the decision-making framework for every business. Here are the basic tenets.
