Artificial intelligence in international business: IB theory under augmented decision-making
This paper discusses the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on decision-making in multinational enterprises (MNEs) and its theoretical implications for international business (IB) research. Building on the concept of bounded rationality, we analyze how AI affects biases and heuristics that drive human decision-making and identify new, AI-specific biases that could distort decision-making outcomes in MNEs. We propose that AI-augmented decision-making will alter the behavioral assumptions underlying established IB theories, requiring a reevaluation of these theories’ boundary conditions. By addressing these shifts, the paper contributes to updating IB research to the realities of AI-augmented decision landscapes.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of World Business holds a distinguished position as a leading publication within the realm of International Business. Rooted in a legacy dating back to 1965, when it was established as the Columbia Journal of World Business, JWB is committed to disseminating cutting-edge research that reflects significant advancements in the field. The journal actively seeks submissions that propel new theoretical frameworks and innovative perspectives on International Business phenomena. Aligned with its domain statement, submissions are expected to possess a clear multinational, cross-border, or international comparative focus, while remaining pertinent to the study of management and organizations. JWB particularly encourages submissions that challenge established theories or assumptions, presenting pioneering or counterintuitive findings. With an inclusive approach, the journal welcomes contributions from diverse conceptual and theoretical traditions, encompassing allied social sciences and behavioral sciences. Submissions should either develop new theories or rigorously test existing ones, employing a variety of qualitative, quantitative, or other methodological approaches. While JWB primarily caters to scholars and researchers, it values contributions that explore implications for Multinational Enterprises and their management, as well as ramifications for public policy and the broader societal role of business.
