Bugünün pazarları şimdiye kadar olduğundan çok daha fazla hareketli, çeşitli ve rekabetçidir. Hiper rekabetçi alan, fazlasıyla değişken ve yüksek derecede dinamik, yoğun ve agresiftir. Yine söz konusu alan, kendi içerisinde serbest, teknoloji yoğun ve globaldir. Bugünün yöneticileri ve idarecileri, şiddetlenen rekabet, yeni enformasyon ve onun uygulanması, globalizasyon ve hızlı değişimle birlikte ortaya çıkan meydan okumalara karşılık vermek için yeni bir düşünme tarzına gereksinim duymaktadır. Bu nedenle, değişen akıl setleri veya zihinsel yönelimler, aynı amaçtaki meydan okumaların birbirinden farklı yöneticiler ve tepe yönetimi takımları tarafından farklı biçimde algılanmasına olanak vermektedir. Bu makalenin amacı, işletme başarısı ve yüksek performans için etkili akıl setlerinin geliştirilmesinde işletmelere yol göstericilik edilmesidir.
