Leveraging AI to Untangle the Surprising Link Between Ethics, Happiness and Business Success

New Horizons in Management series

Peter A. Gloor, Research Scientist, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Center for Collective Intelligence, US, Honorary Professor, University of Cologne, Germany and Chief Creative Officer, Galaxyadvisors AG

Based on 20 years of research, this book lays out a proven and tested method for reaching the goal of employee happiness, analyzing individuals’ communication patterns, and making them self-aware by mirroring their behaviour back to them in a privacy-respecting way. In doing so, Peter A. Gloor introduces artificial intelligence-based methods to identify personality, moral values, and ethics of individuals based on their body language and interaction with others.

‘Gloor (MIT) draws on AI technology to research and analyze employee happiness and performance. He first clarifies fundamental concepts and the personal and social network structures within work environments. Essentially, he redefines aspects of organizational behavior and psychology and relates them to well-known business concepts like collaboration, and also to relatively unique ideas such as entanglement. The second half of the book moves into slightly more technical discussions of measurement, collection, analysis, data visualization, and the AI/KM tools that can be leveraged, but it never strays far from the fundamental and ultimate concept of personal and organizational well-being. Along the way, Gloor presents interesting, timely, and practical supporting materials and reinforces his concepts with quotes from Dostoevsky all the way to Freddie Mercury. Gloor's book is highly readable, interesting, and at times entertaining, enabling the reader to quickly grasp his concepts. The subject matter is also very timely in the face of the recent pandemic and the transition, in many cases, to a partial virtual working environment.’
