Current and Future Global Challenges in Management and Leadership: Finance and Quantum Computing

Abstract

In the future, managers will continue on the same management philosophy path of customer customization. Within ten years, managers will be able to grow their market share of customers using tools such as an existing D-Wave adiabatic quantum computer or futuristic quantum gate model. This is going to cause a paradigm shift in the management philosophy of finance. All these aspects of quantum computer based artificial intelligence, finance and more will make managers aware of the shifts in management philosophy. A management philosophy of existentialism traditionally based on hard work and talent will slowly move from that inner sourced existentialism to an outer sourced moral judgment. This chapter will study management philosophy, quantum computing and finance to see how tomorrow's decision making will be affected. According to management philosophy principles, managers should be able to read between the lines versus think with common sense, decide with their brain instead of with their heart, have strong work ethics, and hone their customer service skills. A manager using management philosophy precepts is generally so well organized that their schedule limits their curiosity and they focus solely on their departmental goals, which include employment and hours worked per week, less on vision. An international comparative analysis of four countries—Germany, Japan, USA and Italy—will attempt to give a global perspective of management philosophy, quantum computing and finance.
