Why hasn’t an artificial manager been invented yet in management science? Part 2

In the previous post, I described the first reason on the side of management science itself that stands in the way of making an artificial manager. This is the general methodological mess, which makes it practically impossible to compare research results to each other and impossible to build constructs in an engineering sense. There is also a second reason, also on the side of management science, which is built from 7 problems in its practice. They are of a slightly

Why hasn’t an artificial manager been invented yet in management science? Part 1

Today will be a bit more scientific, which does not mean at all that it will be difficult to understand my following post. If you want to understand why you can’t yet buy an artificial manager in a store, it’s worth your while to find out the real reasons. Perhaps you think there is a technical problem – programming, electronics or artificial intelligence – no! The reasons lie in the sciences that need to know what a real manager does,

Can a universal artificial manager be designed to replace all managers?

As part of a research project I carried out together with researchers from the University of Siegen, Germany, we investigated whether managers are similar enough in terms of their behavior to be able to build a universal team manager. Implicitly: so that you can buy one for yourself in a store! We published the results from our experiments in IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON COMPUTATIONAL SOCIAL SYSTEMS, and I will present some conclusions below. First, to simplify the analysis, we used data

How to use TransistorsHead.com management tools to record what a manager really does? Part 2

In a previous blog post, I posted a list of manager tools that you can test on the TransistorsHead.com platform. If you’d like to get your login information, email me. And today I’ll show you sample results of the research I’ve been doing for several years using these online managerial tools. The article, which you can read in full and which you’ll find at the bottom of this post, was published in 2018 in the International Journal of Contemporary Management.

How to use TransistorsHead.com management tools to record what a manager really does? Part 1

Have you ever wondered how you can record the work of a manager and his team? Of course, it probably comes to your mind to simply set up a camera, turn on the microphones and record the work of a team in some company. However, such a recording would have at least two serious drawbacks that would eliminate the results of that recording as material for building an artificial manager. First, the recording, even made with several cameras, would not
