Reasoning for Business The Inquirer’s Guide to Decision Making
by Haywood Spangler
A source book for business leaders looking for strategies to vet the results of AI queries, human resource managers wanting to be discerning in their use of data, analysts and forecasters needing a realistic understanding of statistically based predictions – and any professional who selects tools critically to assess trends impacting their life.
How do I know I’m doing the right thing?
Critical thinking skills are important in decision making, but they’re not enough.
Author Haywood Spangler offers a kit of conceptual tools that empower you – an already savvy thinker – to advance your ability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend complex ideas, and learn quickly. Rather than providing oversimplified constructs or generic answers, his book expands your perspective and thought processes, applying concepts from philosophy based on people’s actual questions, needs, and challenges. It functions as a handbook, enabling the reader to consult specific chapters as needed, and as a comprehensive guide to developing personal judgment.

Critical Acclaim
“Reasoning for Business is beautifully written and exceptionally practical, pairing clear explanations of complex decision-making with excellent vignettes that bring the theories to life. The chapter toolkits are especially strong, helping business students exercise personal judgment, navigate sources, evaluate multiple viewpoints, and build “ethical imagination” by considering ethical situations from multiple perspectives. I view this as an ideal text for business ethics and related courses, and a valuable guide for professionals seeking to form their own well-reasoned conclusions in today’s polarized climate.”
