Book of Chapters: Artificial Intelligence and Economic Disruptions: Business Transformation, Leadership, and Future Organizational Models
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is fundamentally reshaping economic systems, organizational structures, managerial practices, and competitive dynamics across industries. From algorithmic decision-making and automation to new digital business ecosystems, AI represents both a major driver of productivity and a source of structural economic disruption. This Book of Chapters aims to provide academically rigorous and forward-looking perspectives on how AI is transforming business environments, redefining leadership, and influencing strategic, financial, operational, and societal outcomes.
We invite original scholarly contributions from professors and researchers affiliated with SBS Swiss Business School and its academic network. Contributions may be conceptual, empirical, methodological, or review-oriented, provided they demonstrate clear academic rigor and relevance to contemporary business challenges.
