The synergistic triad: how artificial intelligence is redefining business management and demanding a new paradigm of leadership

Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the corporate fabric is instigating a profound transformation across all layers of organizational functioning. While much attention has been paid to AI's impact on operational efficiency and strategic decision-making, its implications for leadership – the human engine of business management – are equally critical and less understood. This paper examines the synergistic relationship between AI, business management, and leadership. It posits that AI is not just a technological tool for managers but a catalytic force that is fundamentally reshaping management practices and, in turn, demanding a radical evolution in leadership capabilities. The analysis explores AI's transformative role in key management functions such as strategy, operations, and human resources.
