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 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

What is the world of a robot manager made of? Part 1 – The senses of a robot manager

If we want to create a robot manager, we need to consider what its abstract world will consist of, so that the artificial manager can recognize it, register it “in its memory” and then take action in terms of managing a team, processes or a project. This is the first and also the most difficult task facing the designer of artificial managers. So here we go! Each of us, when we perceive the external world through the human five senses,
