With globalization taking over the world by storm, the awareness and knowledge in people for fashion and good clothing has taken an even stronger grip. In such circumstances, the textile and garment manufacturing companies have a huge demand to meet and for that to overcome they must increase their production capacities, enhance their processes and work on their efficiencies. Global firms are making great use of Artificial intelligence and its various tools and branches to better their processes. This research explores how artificial intelligence is beneficial for organizations and goes on to establish significant relationships between artificial intelligence with demand forecast, decision making and product deliveries. The study is based on textile sector of Pakistan. The methodology used in this research is a quantitative model and for data collection, a questionnaire was formed and distributed to over 100 employees working in various textile and garment manufacturing companies across Pakistan. The data collected was then analyzed using SPSS and several tests were performed, notably correlation – to see how the independent variable (artificial intelligence) is related to dependent variables(demand forecast, decision making and product delivery). Furthermore, regression analysis was also performed in order to investigate if artificial intelligence has any impact on these dependent variables. Reliability test was also done to see the how the scale items under each variable were inter related and consistent with each other. The results of the test reveal that all the variables had a positive cronbach alpha value, stating the scale items are consistent and most of them were above 0.7 which shows the consistency is strong. The correlation test results show that artificial intelligence is very much related to all the dependent variables and lastly, the regression tests also prove that Artificial intelligence has a very significant influence on decision making, demand forecasting and product deliveries of textile firms. This research is very beneficial to the textile and cloth making firms of Pakistan as it shows empirical evidence of the benefits of Artificial intelligence and how its benefits will most definitely overshadow the costs of installation. Future studied can work upon focusing on a bigger sample that includes more sectors and industries as well.","PeriodicalId":289681,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Business Education and Management","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121467728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research follows a quantitative model. 100 questionnaires were filled out by people employed in automotive firms and the data was analyzed using SPSS. Correlation analyses were performed to see how performance and supply chain risk management along with other variables – resilience and reactive supply chain, were related to each other. Furthermore, regression test was applied to understand the impact of meeting a structured supply chain risk management on firm’s performance and the results reveal that supply chain risk management does take a significant influence on the performance of a firm.
