Competing in the Age of AI

AI-centric organisations exhibit a new operating architecture, redefining how they create, capture, share, and deliver value.

Competing in the Age of AI explores how AI-centric organisations exhibit a new operating architecture, redefining how they create, capture, share, and deliver value.

Authors Marco Iansiti and Karim R. Lakhani demonstrate how reinventing the firm around data, analytics, and AI removes traditional constraints on scale, scope, and learning that have restricted business growth for hundreds of years. From Airbnb to Ant Financial, Microsoft to Amazon, research shows how AI-driven processes are vastly more scalable than traditional processes. These advancements allow for a massive scope increase, enabling companies to straddle industry boundaries and create powerful opportunities for learning β€” driving ever more accurate, complex, and sophisticated predictions.

When traditional operating constraints are removed, strategy becomes a whole new game, with new rules and likely outcomes, which this book elucidates:

  • A framework for rethinking business and operating models
  • How 'collisions' between AI-driven/digital and traditional/analog firms are reshaping competition, altering the structure of our economy, and forcing traditional companies to rearchitect their operating models
  • An explanation of the opportunities and risks created by digital firms
  • A description of the new challenges and responsibilities for the leaders of both digital and traditional firms

Packed with examples β€” including many from the most powerful and innovative global, AI-driven competitors β€” and based on research from hundreds of firms across various sectors, this book is your essential guide for rethinking how your firm competes and operates in the era of AI.
