Keywords:
Artificial Intelligence (AI), Organization Development, Business Performance, Current State, Opportunities And ChallengesAbstract
The purpose of this study is to analyse the current state and future implications of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in various aspects of business operations. This study investigates the impact of AI on organizational development, exploring its effects on business operations, decision-making, customer experience, and supply chain management. Moreover, AI-driven innovation enables organizations to develop new products, services, and business models, driving growth and competitiveness. These innovations include enhanced decision-making through augmented intelligence, real-time analytics, and hyper-personalization of customer experiences. Advanced automation will lead to more autonomous operations and the integration of AI with Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Additionally, AI-driven innovation in product development, smart services, and cyber security will offer businesses new avenues for growth and competitive advantage. This literature review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how AI influences different aspects of business operations and the current state and opportunities it presents. The paper concludes that embracing AI and investing in its development will be crucial for businesses aiming to thrive in an increasingly digital and data-driven world. Companies that leverage AI effectively will be better positioned to enhance efficiency, drive innovation, and achieve sustainable growth in the evolving market landscape.
