Management Field Theory: A Quantum Framework for Structured Management and Strategic Planning From Problem Definition to Ecosystem
Structured Management and Strategic Planning from a Quantum Field Theory Perspective —— A Unified Field Theory Framework from Problem Definition to Ecosystem Field Construction Based on the McKinsey Framework and Empirical Evidence from Apple/Google Ecosystems Abstract This paper proposes Management Field Theory (MFT) , systematically translating core concepts from Quantum Field Theory (QFT) into an operational framework for structured management and strategic planning. Starting from the Seven Elements of Clear Problem Definition , integrating MECE , SMART , and Stakeholder Matrix , it constructs a three-layer evolutionary path: Problem Field → Strategy Field → Ecosystem Field . Validated through three cases: Starbucks’ “Third Space Field” , Apple’s Closed Ecosystem Field , and Google’s Open AI Field , demonstrating the universality and contrast of field-theoretic strategies. Core Conclusion: Excellent management is not “solving problems,” but “designing field states so solutions conv...
