Critical thinking is the mental process of conceptualizing, analyzing, synthesizing, and applying information generated by a variety of sources including personal observation, experience, reflection, and reasoning as a tool in decision-making. The traditional standards for defining critical thinking are clarity, accuracy, precision, consistency, relevancy, depth, breadth, objectivity, sound evidence, and reasoning. Complex critical thinking requires an appreciation for qualities such as constancy of change, connections and interrelationships, and the dialectical and transformative relationship between the subject and object. Complex critical thinking is dynamic and frequently results in quantitative and qualitative changes in both the subject and object and creation of new thoughts and knowledge. This course attempts to provide an understanding of critical thinking and its application in decision-making with ample practical exercises and examples in business, particularly managerial and financial decision-making.
