Competing in the Age of AI: Strategy and Leadership When Algorithms and Networks Run the World

Book Overview
“Competing in the Age of AI” explores how companies must rethink strategy, operating models, and leadership for a world in which algorithms and networks—and the data that powers them—are central. The authors argue that AI isn’t just another technology to adopt but changes fundamentals: scale, scope, and learning are altered when organizations are designed around data and analytics. With many case studies from AI?driven firms, the book shows how “collisions” between traditional analog firms and digital/AI centric firms are reshaping competition, demanding new management mindsets, and redefining what value means.
