pensar

Thought

Pensamiento

Thought is the activity and creation of the mind; It is said of everything that is brought into existence by the activity of the intellect. The term is commonly used as a generic form that defines all the products that the mind can generate including the rational activities of the intellect or the abstractions of the imagination; Everything that is mental in nature is considered thought, whether abstract, rational, creative, artistic, etc. For many writers, the strategic thinking of an institution is the coordination of creative minds within a common perspective that allows them to move forward into the future in a way that satisfies every context. On the other hand we can say that strategic thinking leads to prepare and be able to receive many future challenges, both predictable and unpredictable in terms of perfectly articulated opportunities. El pensamiento es la actividad y creación de la mente; dícese de todo aquello que es traído a existencia mediante la actividad del intelecto. El término es comúnmente utilizado como forma genérica que define todos los productos que la mente puede generar incluyendo las actividades racionales del intelecto o las abstracciones de la imaginación; todo aquello que sea de naturaleza mental es considerado pensamiento, bien sean estos abstractos, racionales, creativos, artísticos, etc. Para muchos tratadistas el pensamiento estratégico de una institución es la coordinación de mentes creativas dentro de una perspectiva común que les permite avanzar hacia el futuro de una manera satisfactoria para todo contexto. De otro lado podemos decir que el pensamiento estratégico conlleva a prepararse y estar en condiciones de recibir muchos desafíos futuros, tanto los previsibles como imprevisibles en materia de oportunidades perfectamente articuladas.
