Macromanagement
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Management of decision makers as managers.
If a macromanager would direct a system, first he or she focuses on the system's entities (such as constraints, rules, information architecture, etc.) and then he or she changes them so that the system spontaneously and in the manner of self motivation drives to the defined aim, i.e. to the new lower potentials which a macromanager has tuned.
Therefore, to manage a system, a macromanager begins by evaluating the potential of different elements of the system to determine the most appropriate route. Then, instead of driving toward objectives or impeding anomalies, he works on the metasystem, rules, potential coefficients, categorizations, information architectures, etc.
After a while, the system naturally and spontaneously proceeds to well-defined aims with a selected pace. Because it is spontaneous, opposing the system seems to be an irregular manner. Meanwhile, because of the naturality of the mentioned process, no one would consider the presence of macromanager...
[edit] In Computer Games
In computer games, especially strategy games, macromanagement refers to the general economy aspect of the game. This includes constructing buildings, conducting research, and producing units, among other things involving the intake and expending of resources while also managing one's troops in the field.
