Managerial decision-making is a summary of rational and intuitive capabilities of manager. There are numerous debates going on in scientific fields discussing the appropriate degree of rationality, intuition or influence of other subjective factors on decision-making process. This contribution is focused at identification and assessment of new methods and tendencies in decision-making with regard to its theoretical framework and consecutive examination of existence and utilization of these cognitions during decision-making process of enterprises in Slovakia. We have highlighted the importance of subjective approaches in managerial decision-making in this thesis. Based on the survey among enterprise managers in Slovakia, certain tendency to use their intuition has arisen, although they are more oriented on rational-analytic approaches. The tendency to underestimate influence of emotional, cognitive and socially caused trends prevails. Human behavior (including economic) is determined by two basic motivational systems (mechanisms). One is looking for a reward, the other is to avoid being lost. Behavioral economics and neuroeconomics have confirmed that emotion and intuition can greatly influence economic decisions, although intuition is used rather as a complementary decision-making tool in certain situations or as one of the decision-making methods. It is used especially if it can reveal that something is wrong and also if it is necessary to check the results of the rational analysis and the intuition can send warning signals to find additional information, to resolve the situation. From research results, the prevailing tendency was to underestimate the impact of emotional, cognitive and socially conditioned tendencies. Regarding strategic decision-making, a rational approach is dominant. However, it is difficult to understand and use the basic analytical tools of strategic decision-making, since mainly mathematical and statistical methods are used. Other important strategic tools are unrecognized or known and not used to a sufficient extent. These results cast doubt on rationality in strategic decision-making.
