“…Embracing that symbiotic ontology, we do not separate sense and action, nor sensemaking and enactment (Sandberg and Tsoukas, 2015). [2] This criterion is rather conservative compared to that used by Baldacchino et al (2014) and Calabretta et al (2017) -the only two papers that explain how intuition was identified. These authors retained cases where just one characteristic of intuition was present.…”

This study contributes to a holistic understanding of sensemaking by going beyond the mind-body dualism. To do so, we focus analytically on a phenomenon that operates at the nexus of mind and body: intuition. By observing four film crews, we unpack how people act their intuition into sense-that is, how they transform, through action, an initial sense (intuition) that is tacit, intimate, and complex into one that is publicly displayed, simpler, and ordered (i.e., a developed sense). Our model identifies two sensemaking trajectories, each of which involves several bodily actions (e.g., displaying feelings, working hands-on, speaking assertively). These actions enable intuition to express a facet of itself and acquire new properties. This study makes three important contributions. First, it develops the holistic-relational character of sensemaking by locating it in the relations among multiple loci (cognition, language, body, and materiality) rather than in each one disjunctively. Second, it theorizes embodied sensemaking as a transformative process entailing a rich repertoire of bodily actions. Third, it extends sensemaking research by attending to the physicality and materiality of language in embodied sensemaking.

“…In the other two studies (Baldacchino ; Gustafsson ), intuition was captured by means of a think‐aloud verbal protocol method (Baldacchino et al . ; Ericsson and Simon ) during opportunity identification tasks. Despite their apparent similarity, there are two important differences between these two studies.…”

This is the accepted version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Intuition is a way of processing information that is largely unconscious, associative, fast, and contextually dependent. As part of the growing cognition-oriented research agenda in the entrepreneurship field, the specific cognitive construct of intuition has attracted relatively little attention. We find this position surprising, particularly since some entrepreneurship scholars have described intuition as the seed of entrepreneurial activity. In this review, we examine the small but rapidly growing literature at the intersection of intuition and entrepreneurship. In critically analyzing this body of work, we reveal a number of areas that warrant further attention if scholars wish to enhance academic understanding of the role of intuition in the entrepreneurial process. From our review, we develop an agenda to help guide scholars of entrepreneurial cognition with a specific interest in intuition in their future research. In doing so, we address a gap in the entrepreneurial cognition literature which currently lacks a clear view of the value of entrepreneurship research on intuition and of how it should be conducted. Permanent repository link3 Entrepreneurship Research on Intuition: A Critical Analysis and Research AgendaIntuitions are "affectively charged judgments that arise through rapid, non-conscious, and holistic associations" (Dane and Pratt, 2007, p. 40). Although some scholars claim that intuition is "the seed of any entrepreneurial action" (Dutta and Crossan, 2005, p. 436), there has been limited attention devoted to studying the role of intuition in the entrepreneurial process. This might be partly due to the non-conscious nature of intuition, which makes it difficult for entrepreneurs to reliably report their use of intuition. As Blume and Covin (2011) remarked, "if intuition is appropriately conceived of as a subconscious reasoning process, how can we consciously 'know' that intuition was involved as a decision driver?" (p. 139).Despite its somewhat elusive nature, intuition has captured the interest of a growing number of scholars. Our systematic review of the literature revealed 25 publications related to entrepreneurs' use of intuition, half of which were published since 2008. This is indicative of a promising and emerging research area. However prior reviews and our own analyses revealed that entrepreneurship research on intuition is not located in one single field of research, but is fragmented across entrepreneurship, general management, organization studies and psychology journals. Furthermore, scholars have explored a large number of research questions, relied on contradictory theories of information processing (i.e., unitary versus dual-process views), and deployed a wide range of techniques to measure intuition (e.g., preference for intuition versus actual use of intuition). The dispersion of publications in cognate yet distinct fields, together with the diversity of resea...

“…capturing these events as close as possible to their occurrence is the ideal, for example by using concurrent protocol analysis (Baldacchino, Ucbasaran, Lockett, & Cabantous, 2014), diary methods, or mobile technology applications to enable subjects to record their interoceptions and introspections concurrently (Hodgkinson & Sadler-Smith, 2011). It is hoped that as a result of specifying Wallas' model with greater detail and more fidelity than has previously been the case this article will enable creativity researchers to better understand the subtleties and nuances the interplay of consciousness, fringe consciousness, and nonconsciousness in the creative process, the dynamics of which constitute a modern interpretation of the 'art of thought'.…”

Wallas’ Four-Stage Model of the Creative Process: More Than Meets the Eye?

Based on a detailed reading of Graham Wallas' Art of Thought (1926) it is argued that his four-stage model of the creative process (Preparation, Incubation, Illumination, Verification), in spite of holding sway as a conceptual anchor for many creativity researchers, does not reflect accurately Wallas' full account of the creative process. Instead it is suggested that a five-stage model that gives due recognition to the detailed treatment Wallas gave to the Intimation stage is a more authentic representation of his explanation of creativity. A version of this model with three levels of 'proximity to consciousness' (non-consciousness; fringe consciousness; consciousness) and five stages (Preparation; Incubation; Intimation; Illumination; Verification) is presented as a general conceptual architecture within which relevant concepts and theories from more recent creativity research, including neuroscience and intuition, are positioned and from which a number of implications are drawn.
