Three points of disagreement: <br />1) delegation facilitates hierarchical organisation; well yes that tends to be the usual expression, but delegation is also employed in rarer organisational morphs, such as network structures. <br />2) programming humans is harder than programming machines: (ignoring the original and overlooked point of NLP) power and authority, along with state schooling (as distinct from education) of obedience, enables manipulation. Direct their interests and the human will programme themselves (even pay for their own technical instruction and certificates). <br />3) management is harder to automate than computer programming is: the hard part is breaking obsolete routines, or "don't automate your traditions" (cant find ref) warns of parasitical memes embedding themselves at the expense of rationalization. I think these unchallenged autonomous routines/memes may well be labeled as "fossils" though. salimanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10512109696789865793noreply@blogger.com
