A systems approach to management in the era of artificial intelligence

DOI: 10.33917/es-2.206.2026.62-67

The article examines the problems of using a systems approach in modern management. Despite its recognized value, its widespread use is constrained by a key problem — the difficulty of developing systems thinking in managers. The authors note that only a small part of the developed strategies is implemented in practice, which is directly related to the deficit of this type of thinking. As a solution, it is proposed to use artificial intelligence (AI) tools that do not replace, but significantly enhance human cognitive abilities. The article contains a specific proposal for creating an ecosystem of AI assistants consisting of five interconnected modules. It is concluded that AI acts as the very “lever” that allows us to overcome the elitism of the systems approach and realize its potential in mass management practice.

Capitalism for Everyone?!

Capitalism for Everyone?!

The pension reform of 2018 caused serious changes in the labor relations system, in forming the country’s budget and sensitized the public opinion in respect of the real state of the Russian economy. For citizens, this resulted in a large-scale offensive on the retirement age, which, after previously prepared intervention by V.V. Putin, was adjusted in an acceptable manner.
