Even in the AI ​​era, logical thinking remains an essential business skill!
From reporting to planning, meetings, and sales, take the lead with your own logic!

In an era where AI writes reports and makes proposals, simple information analysis or logical sentences are no longer enough to compete in business.
What's truly needed in business isn't the ability to come up with answers, but the ability to think critically to see through complex problems and find solutions.
Whether it's defining a new product concept, identifying the cause of sluggish sales, or responding to a customer's needs, problem-solving is at the heart of everything we do.


《New Logical Thinking》 focuses on this very point.
Having solved countless complex problems at a global consulting firm, the author has upgraded traditional logical thinking from a simple method of reasoning to a logical and creative problem-solving technique.
From basic thinking methods like deduction, induction, and grouping, to transforming intuition into logical thinking skills and a new method that takes only the best aspects of various methods, we present field-oriented methodologies that can deliver overwhelming results even in rapidly changing times.
Lee Jun-hee, CEO of Alive Community and a leading HR consultant in Korea, also reviewed and recommended the book, saying, “What is needed in actual business settings is not logic itself, but the ability to solve problems, and ‘New Logical Thinking’ is a book that focuses on this problem-solving ability.”


New logical thinking applies across fields.
Learn and practice the new logical thinking techniques contained in this book.
Planners will be able to steer ideas, marketers will be able to make strategies more persuasive, salespeople will be able to figure out how to meet customer needs, and managers will be able to grasp the core of complex problems at a glance.

You can think from problem discovery to solution in one breath!
Rich case studies and solutions for the AI ​​era!

Would you believe that Howard Schultz of Starbucks and Henry Ford of Ford Motor Company also used logical thinking techniques? How did they come up with mind-boggling ideas and become leaders in the top 1%? Starbucks founder Howard Schultz is a prime example of deductive thinking, discussed in Chapter 2 of this book.
Deductive reasoning is a way of thinking that draws specific conclusions based on universal facts.
Schultz combined the universal premise that "in a world without a place to rest, we need a place to restore our humanity" with the reality that "the world today is stifling and lacks space to breathe," and concluded that "the world today needs a third place."
As a result, Starbucks' core concept of 'a third place that is neither home nor work' was conceived.
Since then, Starbucks has designed a unique experience that is unique to Starbucks, including friendly customer service from baristas, comfortable space design, and customized beverage creation, and has expanded the deductive thinking that started from the initial premise into an actual business strategy.

The case of Henry Ford of Ford Motor Company is also noteworthy.
At a time when everyone was contemplating faster carriages, he asked, "What if we lived in a world where everyone could travel conveniently and quickly?"
To bridge the gap between reality and ideals, we continually question ourselves and drive industrial innovation.
Cases like Ford's can be examined in detail through the problem-solving process using hypothetical reasoning, which is covered in Chapter 5 of this book.

In this way, "New Logical Thinking" contains a process of leaping from existing logical thinking to new logical thinking over a total of three parts, and is a textbook on new logical thinking that presents abundant examples and specific methods in each of the seven chapters.
From routine tasks like drafting business plans, concise reports, sales recovery, and new business strategies to major projects, this book will help you tackle any situation without hesitation.
