Sociophysics has not been met with a wide welcome in management studies, perhaps due to its approach to proof. It requires a lot more work than popular hand-waving. It will be interesting to see whether physics-derived tools and approaches will lead to improvement in social studies in regards to current critical concerns. It is unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it) a far-away in the future area for me, as just applying viewpoints outside of the mainstream to experimental research in management has a lot of low-hanging fruit with potentially significant impact. That could be one of the benefits of the humanities aspect of management studies, it is well justified (though not popular) to take a humanitarian (and thus biased) stance towards improving the well-being of employees.
