Our global economy is being transformed by a new generation of companies built on digital networks, data and AI. In Competing in the Age of AI, Harvard Business School Professors Marco Iansiti and Karim Lakhani show how companies can rethink the way to operate in this new era. Deploying even relatively simple AI across the enterprise to enable operating processes can remove growth constraints, crushing traditional limits on scale, scope, and even learning, eclipsing traditional managerial methods. Along with major strategic advantages, however, this new generation of AI-based firms is also generating major new challenges, from widespread algorithmic bias, to the amplification of false information. Responding to this transformation involves rearchitecting how traditional firms work and driving major changes in traditional sectors of the economy.
Reinventing a company around data, analytics and AI can enable even old companies to achieve enormous growth. While transformation is obviously challenging, it is mandatory for organizations that seek to survive in our new AI-driven age, and the upside potential is vast.
