Integrated Business Innovation
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-96248-1 (ISBN)
Integrated Business Innovation shows how organizations can move beyond the buzz of artificial intelligence, particularly generative AI, and apply it thoughtfully to solve real-world business problems. While tools like ChatGPT and other large language models offer accessible and intuitive power, many companies struggle to extract lasting value because they fail to clearly define the problems they are trying to solve. This book addresses that gap by integrating the principles of design thinking with AI and other fourth industrial age technology capabilities, offering a structured approach to identifying business challenges and developing innovative, customer-centered solutions.
Across 12 chapters, the book blends foundational insights with applications across industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, retail, government, and education. With a wide array of illustrative mini cases woven throughout the book including five expanded case studies in Part III, readers will learn how to recognize strategic opportunities, navigate implementation challenges, and unlock measurable business impact using AI.
This book is a vital new resource for undergraduates, postgraduates, and professionals on executive education courses and will also appeal to leaders, practitioners, and consultants, equipping readers with the mindset and methods needed to innovate with purpose in an era of intelligent systems.
