Selected problems in team management automation
Full text linkThe contradiction between the unstable nature of team work and the opportunity
coming from IT technologies creates a question how to replace a human manager with a robot.
Therefore the paper presents selected problems in in achieving the answer such as what are
dominating methodological problems in management science, how to represent manager work,
what research method should be used, what research tools should be used and what methods of
reasoning should be used. Some of the problems have been solved by the author and some still
wait for efficient solutions
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

RECORDING VIRTUAL TEAMS USING THE SYSTEM OF ORGANIZATIONAL TERMS FOR ARTIFICIAL MANAGEMENT IMPLEMENTATION. RESEARCH RESULTS
Full text linkThe paper describes the potential of artificial management in virtual teams, focusing on how AI can replicate managerial actions typically performed by human team leaders and members. The research is driven by two main questions: (1) What theoretical framework should be used to document managerial actions? and (2) What tools can effectively measure and build knowledge about these actions? Methodology The study adopts a qualitative case study approach, supported by a long-term non-participant observation of a virtual team consisting of a manager and three members. It applies the system of organizational terms, rooted in Wittgenstein’s philosophy, to record team behaviors. Data were collected using TransistorsHead.com – 10 online management tools that tracks the sequence and outcomes of team actions over time. Findings.The system of organizational terms successfully identified and categorized specific managerial actions. TransistorsHead.com enabled real-time tracking and visualization of team dynamics across 10 categories of managerial actions. The study confirmed the feasibility of capturing complex human patterns of behavior aimed at artificial management implementation. Conclusion The research demonstrates that managerial behaviors in virtual teams can be systematically recorded and analyzed. These findings are the foundations for implementing artificial management systems capable of autonomously performing core team actions
