Course Contents
This lecture examines recent developments in Algorithmic Management (AM), which refers to the delegation of managerial tasks from humans to advanced algorithmic systems. AM is transforming organizations across industries, from platforms such as Uber, where algorithms have largely replaced human management, to more traditional organizations that increasingly integrate algorithmic tools into managerial decision-making.
The lecture explores both the technological foundations driving these developments and the implications of AM for different stakeholders. It covers how intelligent systems and related technologies reconfigure managerial roles, shape worker experiences, and transform organizational structures and broader economic dynamics. Particular attention is given to the opportunities, risks, and ethical considerations that AM creates for various types of organizations.
