CONTEMPORARY MANAGEMENT UNDER MONETARY AND TECHNOLOGICAL TRANSFORMATION: KNOWLEDGE, HUMAN CAPITAL, ENTREPRENEUR-SHIP, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, AND THE FUTURE OF DIGITAL FINANCE
Abstract. This article examines the transformation of contemporary management under conditions shaped not only by knowledge intensity, human capital development, entrepreneurship, artificial intelligence, and sustainability pressures, but also by profound changes in money, finance, and digital value architectures. Its central thesis is that management today can no longer be understood exclusively through the classical functions of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. Instead, it must be reinterpreted as an integrative practice operating within a technologically mediated and financially transformed environment in which digital platforms, fintech systems, crypto-assets, algorithmic decision-making, and new forms of monetary organization increasingly influence organizational strategy and governance. The paper combines the reconstruction of major management concepts known from canonical textbooks with a synthetic interpretation of studies on knowledge management, human resource management, entrepreneurship, artificial intelligence, value creation, financial innovation, blockchain, digital money, and sustainable development. It argues that the emerging paradigm of management is defined by the need to coordinate organizational intelligence, human capabilities, entrepreneurial initiative, technological infrastructures, and financial transformation within a broader horizon of regulatory responsibility, institutional trust, and long-term sustainability. The article concludes that the future of management depends increasingly on the ability to integrate internal organizational capabilities with the changing logic of money, finance, technology, and governance.
