Abstract / Artist's Statement
Businesses around the world are rapidly adopting artificial intelligence as a productivity and daily operational tool to help employees work more efficiently. This project examines how companies can leverage AI as a long-term source of strategic advantage rather than simply a time- and money-saver. The guiding question for this project is: Under what conditions does AI become a source of strategic advantage in a business rather than a commodity technology? For this project, I am seeking to connect AI adoption practices with established strategic management theory. To carry out this project, I will analyze current AI adoption trends by examining cases of companies implementing it across different industries. I will then integrate strategic management theory with real deployment scenarios and develop a structured strategic framework on how companies can deploy/use AI. The overall outcome will be a decision-making framework that will help companies assess AI deployment readiness and what areas to integrate into. This project is significant because organizations are investing heavily in artificial intelligence, yet many lack a clear strategic framework for implementation. Competitive positioning will likely rely on AI integration over the next decade, so learning how to effectively utilize these tools is important for all businesses.
