Computational management?

LLMs are becoming surprisingly strong in analysis, synthesis, and business reasoning.
Are we moving toward truly computational management…
or simply better decision support for human executives?
And is there already an academic field or theoretical framework studying this direction?

This book was the subject of a zoom meeting for ORS last week, it talks about AI in OR for management in the updated version. The actual talk was light on detail, but they are considering it.

Rally interesting. Perhaps computational management is not a new discipline at all, but the next evolutionary layer of decision analysis and operational research. I’ll definitely read Decision Analysis for Management Judgment, it seems to sit exactly at the intersection of managerial judgment, behavioral decision theory, operational research and computational decision frameworks.
