Everyone’s heard of fight or flight. The idea that in moments of duress– say bumping into a grizzly bear during a walk in the woods– animals are wired for two responses: They’ll either stick around and fight the bear or run like hell to escape becoming grizzly bear lunch. But it’s not every day you hear about the fight or flight response being studied in business school.
