Which of the 4 functions of management is most vulnerable to being replaced by technology
The major functions of management are:
1. planning
2. organizing
3. staffing
4. directing
5. controlling
Now, these major functions are been associated with other subfunctions. but when we are introducing technology as a support to management then there is an increment in the productivity of a firm. whereas when we use the same technology(refer to AI) to replace the managerial functions it may give a disaster result.
Now if we will check one by one in terms of replacing the AI in terms of a manger or the management. function.
In case of planning, by giving the existing condition for a particular project it is possible to get good planning with the help of AI but if we replace AI with the planning committee then it may not justify the purpose.
Organizing and staffing are correlated with each other. os when we are dealing with AI in terms of execution of this work it may not be possible to understand the human feeling and the dedication from their profile. the workability and making a worker give his best only can be done by the manager /hr person. If we will replace the AI with manager the work can't be accomplished.
Directing is the leadership quality which is also not possible with any manager. it is a special quality or god gifted quality to control a workforce efficiently.
Finally, the controlling capacity is a full leadership base. how optimally utilize the workforce without any disturbance can only leaded by a good leader or a controller, which can't be replaced by any technology or AI.
So finally the result of introducing technology to replace the managerial function is not a worth enough to impliment.
