Abstract:

This Diploma thesis is focused on the ability of strategic decision-making based on knowledge acquired through cognitive processes using managerial simulation that simulates a manufacturing company. The diploma thesis’s main aim is to evaluate respondents’ cognitive knowledge-based decision-making abilities using managerial simulation. The partial goals are to assess respondents’ cognitive abilities, consider the ability to implement strategy, identify failures when implementing strategy, and provide a recommendation. This diploma thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical part, literature review, consists of the theoretical basis which defines and describes essential terms from the field, especially the terms management and managerial skills, decision-making, strategy, and cognition process. It is developed based on the study, analysis, and comparison of professional literature. The practical second part is qualitative research focused on respondents’ strategic decision-making ability based on knowledge acquired through cognitive processes using FactOrEasy® managerial simulation.
