Explanation:

One school of management thought that states that organizational decisions and actions are influenced mainly by what attracts management's attention, rather than by the objective reality of the external or internal environment this is closely associated with perceptual defense. According to perceptual defense, the individual creates a barrier between him and the stimuli that he does not want to see because they may be harmful or threatening. The perceptual defense is part of selective perception. If organizational decisions are influenced by what attracts management's attention this is an example of perceptual defense, not wanting to see what may contradict the management's ideas.
