Chen Chunhua's "Management in the AI Era": The four fundamentals of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling must be redone
In "Management in the AI Era," Chen Chunhua argues that AI eliminates the traditional management premise of information scarcity, so the four fundamentals—planning, organizing, leading, and controlling—must all be redone: planning shifts from PowerPoint to real-time navigation, organizations move toward "fluidization," and control shifts from fixating on KPIs to inspiring people. Cases in the book show that after Studio F introduced AI, the work of 200 people was taken over by 5 super-individuals; at Midea's Nansha factory, the missed-detection rate of machine-vision quality inspection fell from 5% to below 0.1%.
