I am posting this for a colleague: (Please reply to ISSAD@NUSVM.BITNET) There aren't many AI research works on Management that I've come across. I hope to get to know those who are doing research to apply AI in the various disciplines of Management.

There was a great deal of AI work in management in the 1950s, as a few of the founding fathers of AI began work in 'Scientific Management', and don't seem to have changed their perspectives too much :-) Luckily for the managed, mathematical models have long been restricted in their application. Today, sociological perspectives are more dominant than algebraic, idealistic ones. Any new AI work which can't incorporate the recent perspectives on corporate and office culture is going to be nearly thirty years out of date. -- Gilbert Cockton, Scottish HCI Centre, Heriot-Watt University, Chambers St., Edinburgh, EH1 1HX.
