Seventh AI and Strategy Consortium

About the Consortium

The Seventh AI and Strategy Consortium focuses on three objectives:

To provide a focused forum of scholars, students, and editors to seed and discuss work in the field of strategy that is contextually or empirically related to AI.

• To provide a forum spanning both industry and academia to accelerate learning of how AI can transform organizations and their strategies.
• To facilitate inter-disciplinary collaboration between computer scientists and strategy scholars, especially those interested in applying some of these techniques in their scholarly work.

Through this conference, we would like to continue to create an emerging body of knowledge that focuses on how the advent of AI/ML adds to a strategy researcher’s tool, understand how it will shape decision making, firm strategies, and alter competitive advantage. Hence, possible topics of interest include but are not limited to the following

How AI influences organizational learning and decision making

How the adoption of AI might shape and alter the competitive advantage

How the advent of AI might influence the performance of incumbents in an industry

New statistical methods that are appropriate for strategy research that utilizes AI or ML

Management issues including ethics and culture that might influence the adoption of AI or the subsequent performance of firms that adopted AI.

The workshop will include virtual paper presentations for about 20 minutes, followed by a 20-minute discussion on the paper.
