Negative situations lead managers to develop their own proverbs

What is it about?

This paper proposes a theory-based process model for the generation, development, sharing, and application of intentional managerial heuristics, from their origin as unspoken insight, to proverb-like articulation, to formal or informal sharing, and to their optional or compulsory adoption.

Why is it important?

This study addresses the less-researched aspect of heuristics creation, transforms static insights from literature into a dynamic process model, and, in a blended-theory approach, considers insights from a distant, but relevant literature – paremiology (the science of proverbs).
