How to find out what a manager really does? Part 4

In the previous post, I described how a measurement tool that records managerial activities works. Let me remind you – it measures successive states of resources (primary organizational terms) over time, which change due to processes (derivative organizational terms) initiated by the manager and his team. But the question arises: where to mount these measuring tools to capture what the manager is really doing? Laboratory conditions could only be used to a limited extent – the measurement error in relation

How to find out what a manager really does? Part 3

You have learned from previous posts that, first, in order to replace some human work, it is possible to make a film of how that work is done and then try to replace a human in it, and second, that we cannot make a film depicting cognitive activities. Managerial activities are precisely cognitive activities. Can we really not? Let’s go back to the posts in which I described what the world of a robotic manager should look like. This world

How to find out what a manager really does? Part 2

In the previous post, I described how to create any mechanical robot to replace a given job, of course, if we can produce good enough mechanical mechanisms to simulate, for example, the actions of arms, legs, etc., and if we can equip such a robot with a human sense (for example, to judge the loudness of some phenomenon or to observe the environment). But what to do with another type of human work, which is thinking? We’re doing just fine

How to find out what a manager really does? Part 1

I’m going to give you a simple idea on how to find out what a manager really does. The idea is so simple that you will find it unbelievable that no one has done it before. But if it’s so simple, why can’t you buy yourself a Steve Jobs? Let’s take a fairly simple example of a profession that has long been automated: the barista. This is a person who professionally selects, brews and serves coffee. Everyone knows that today

Do managers remember what they did in a particular situation?

Most research in management science is conducted using survey techniques and questionnaires. This is a standard that, at least in Poland, newer and newer students of this science are accepting, and older students are continuing the tradition. I have repeatedly written in my scientific and popular articles about the low reliability and accuracy of such surveys. As a result, it is difficult to build knowledge about what a manager really does. Of course, there are thousands, if not hundreds of
