Defined by enigmatic phenomena such as superposition, uncertainty, and entanglement, the quantum world represents the foundational reality beneath the perceivably deterministic classical environment. Despite our experiential interaction with the tangible classical world, it is crucial to acknowledge the elusive nature of the underlying quantum framework. This paper explores the ramifications of these quantum characteristics in management science. Even the seemingly straightforward concept of matter transforms into a complex puzzle at the quantum scale. The propensity of subatomic particles to switch between wave and particle states underscores the integral role of observation and consciousness. Quantum entities, rather than being merely passive objects of measurement, dynamically participate in the observation process, hence generating a paradox that contradicts traditional notions of objective reality. Traditionally, management science is grounded in the predictability of the classical world. However, these deterministic relationships and observable causality do not readily align with the quantum domain, where a probabilistic framework supersedes certain outcomes. The inherent uncertainties of quantum interactivity and the multitude of possibilities present a largely untapped potential for strategic management. This paper introduces Quantum Mind-Induced Subjective Realism (QMISR), amalgamating quantum principles with management science, advocating for a transition from classical predictability to acceptance of quantum uncertainties. This innovative view on reality and cognition postulates that the interaction between a quantum mind and the external world forms our subjective reality experience. Recognising both classical and quantum realities is emphasised to enhance management practices and foster creative pathways for decision-making processes. Primarily, this paper investigates quantum realities and their possible implications for management science. It calls for a shift from a deterministic, tangible classical world to an intricate, probabilistic quantum domain, potentially transforming traditional management science theories and practices.

В общем контексте проблемы недооценки социально-гуманитарной мысли профессионалами различных областей науки и техники обсуждается пример интерпретации квантовой механики. Аргументирована перспектива формирования этой интерпретации с учетом квантовой концепции целостности как особенного воплощения рационального холизма.
Henri Bergson, in “An Introduction to Metaphysics,” describes intuition as “the kind of intellectual sympathy by which one places oneself within an object to coincide with what is unique and consequently inexpressible”. 1 In this context, the “inexpressible” refers to the complexity of quantum phenomena, which can only be grasped through intuition. Intuition allows us to perceive what is otherwise ineffable—an ephemeral potentiality that is recognised through an “intellectual sympathy” with the external world. Bergson’s theory of intuition parallels Timothy Morton’s theory of Hyperobjects, such as climate change or environmentalism, which require the same intellectual sympathy to fully comprehend their vastness. Hyperobjects, being either too large or too small to manage directly, demand a holistic approach rather than segmentation into smaller, manageable pieces. When we fail to view them holistically, we risk disempowering connections and resorting to superficial “band-aid” solutions. Intellectual sympathy fosters a more inclusive and expansive understanding of such large-scale phenomena.
