Olaf Flak (PhD, engineer)
I am an assosiate professor in management sciences (PhD) and an electronics engineer. I have always been interested in robotics, and for the past 15 years I have been involved in the search for a way to construct a robot manager. I am the creator of online managerial tools on the TransistorsHead.com platform, aimed at monitoring manager’s performance and determining their behavior patterns, and then automating them and replacing the human manager with a robot manager.
To do this, I developed a methodology for studying the organizational reality in which the robot manager is to work. I described it in the book “System of organizational terms. A methodological concept for the study of organizational reality” (Katowice: Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Śląskiego, pages 478, ISBN 978-83-226-3322-9).
