Exploring AI Capabilities in Operations Management: Going from a Bibliometric Analysis to Empirical Studies
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been seen as the next productivity frontier for its high capability to transform almost all aspects of intra-and-inter-organizational operations across industries. Yet very few empirical studies have been conducted to assess the actual value of AI. This talk will first present some insights from a bibliometric analysis of 40,147 documents retrieved from the Web of Science database dealing with a “good AI society.”
This presentation will discuss some of the findings from a sample of recent empirical studies, including one study that investigates the impacts of AI assimilation on firm performance. This includes an exploration of the mediating effects of organizational and customer agility on the relationship between AI assimilation on firm performance, using a sample of 205 supply chain executives in the United States. The second study will look at the impacts of AI-enabled entrepreneurial capabilities on innovation and performance using a sample of 303 IT and business decision-makers in the United States. Finally, we will discuss some potential research opportunities related to AI-enabled operations management.
