This study focuses on the impact of advancing Artificial Intelligence systems on management during the next decade. Much of the attention around Artificial Intelligence and work revolves around the replacement versus augmentation debate. According to previous literature, rather than simply replacing tasks, machine learning tools can complement human decision making.

Taylorism on steroids or enabling autonomy? A systematic review of algorithmic management
AbstractThe use of algorithmic management systems is rapidly changing organizational models and practices, as millions of workers in multiple sectors worldwide are managed by computer software. Despite receiving increasing academic interest, little summarizing literature exist on the ways algorithmic systems are used in management. This article aims to fill this gap by systematically reviewing and qualitatively analyzing 172 articles on the topic.

Second, we identify and synthesize the discussion on the key conce…

Scientific sources often raise more problematic issues and even threats related to human factors as well as to the core of business operations. Also, the actual strategic integration to increase competitiveness may not be more tha…
