For over MS&E 100 years our economic activity was mostly accomplished in bureaucratic organizations. Many theories of management and work design were developed for those settings. Today, economic activities are being reconfigured using new technologies such as online labor markets, open innovation, remote work, AI, algorithms, and robotics. In this course, we reimagine the classic theories of management and work design based on these advancing technologies. We explore what it will mean to build AI-augmented organizations.
