System of Organizational Terms as a Theoretical Foundation for Team Management Automation

The main scientific objective of the paper is to present a methodological concept called the system of organizational terms which could enable replacing human managers with algorithms. The research problem in the paper concerns a possibility of replacing human managers with robots in the field of team management. The research problem can be described by a research question, which should be answered before implementing team management automation. The question is: what does a team manager really do? The research problem entails a hypothesis: if we could know what a team manager really does, we could imitate them in managing their team. When this hypothesis is true, we could implement team management automation based on recorded managerial behavior. Going back to the classical point of view on management, this would be a real accomplishment of Drucker's words that in the future "computers" will not only make decisions but they will do much more. In order to solve this research problem the system of organizational terms was designed. The system of organizational terms is a (1) holistic, (2) coherent and (3) formalized methodological concept of management sciences, which allows to practice management sciences in such a way that some fields of team management could be automated. In this paper there are presented traditional theoretical approaches to team management as a foundation for a team management representation in a holistic, coherent and formalized methodological concept. There are also examples of its previous verifications aimed at team management automation.
