Explanation and How it Relates to Business

Explanation and how it relates to business is the ability to provide causal insight into the way something works. Although explanation is closely related to intuition, it brings up a different set of issues and perspectives than do discussions about intuitive theories. It is also a process that can occur both within and between individuals; even young children are known to explain things to themselves. Explanations can be transactional, creating trajectories of understanding; they can also expand in real time, as is often the case when people try to explain something they have just seen to someone else. Explanations are also very diverse, in terms of the causal patterns they invoke and the broad stances (or more local domains) that they adopt.

One of the most important aspects of explaining is the degree to which it provides coherence, a measure that is somewhat easier to quantify than is intuition. Coherence has been analyzed in terms of constraint satisfaction, with elements being considered coherent to the extent that they positively or negatively constrain each other, usually in causal ways.

Another issue in this area concerns the question of whether or not there is a natural progression from a mechanical to a design stance in explanation, or if it is more likely that some stances appear as foundational core ways of explanation in all domains. It is also possible that explanatory trajectories are influenced by the cultural practices in which an individual is immersed. For example, it has been suggested that cultures using conservation-oriented forms of agriculture will tend to reason about the behavior of plants and animals in more ecologically oriented ways than those that use slash-and-burn methods.
