AI Management Innovation in Volatile International Markets

Abstract

The world of today's trade is characteriseds by the structural volatility of geopolitical decoupling, fragmentation of supply chains, a proliferation of regulations and a very dynamic demand structure. In this environment, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) has become a management lever of first choice that can encompass predictive forecasting, regulatory compliance, supply chain optimisation, financial risk management and much more. This article looks at the impact of AI on real country-level innovation in managers in turbulent global markets using empirical evidence and real country-level data. It presents an AI Management Innovation Framework (AMIF) consisting of six application domains, and evaluates their competitive impact in key markets such as the United States, China, UAE, Singapore, Germany, India, the United Kingdom, and Brazil. Results suggest that higher AI investment and usage levels in countries and firms are measurably correlated with improved adaptation to trade volatility, while a growing AI gap between economies is a systemic risk to inclusive trade growth [3][4].
