C、The decisions made by middle-and lower-level managers can be made as easily by using methodical reasoning as by using intuitive reasoning

D、Top managers use intuitive reasoning in making the majority of their decisions。

E、Top managers are more effective at decision making than middle-or lower-level managers。
