商品描述

This book focuses on an integrated design sciences approach in developing an AI decision-support model to enhance an organization's decision-making function(s) and capabilities. In doing so, it elaborates on the programmability of decisions in the context of an AI culture (as embedded in the principles of Actor-Network Theory), and illustrates how AI technologies can bring profound societal changes, while balancing social and technical objectives given that AI cannot operate independent from human involvement.

Research in the book spans multiple disciplines, drawing insights from academic literature and industry experts across various business functions, including finance, logistics, manufacturing, marketing, distribution, infrastructure, and technological development.

With this, the book adopts an elaborated action design research (eADR) approach as its guiding framework, which employs a systematic, iterative approach for diagnosis and design to develop a decision-support model artifact in the context of programmable decisions. The empirical study included in the book involved data collection through interviews with senior managers, group discussions with middle management, and consultations with other industry experts.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書專注於整合設計科學的方法,開發一個人工智慧(AI)決策支持模型,以增強組織的決策功能和能力。在此過程中,書中詳細闡述了在人工智慧文化背景下(根植於行為者網絡理論的原則)決策的可程式化,並說明了人工智慧技術如何帶來深刻的社會變革,同時平衡社會和技術目標,因為人工智慧無法獨立於人類參與而運作。

本書的研究涵蓋多個學科,從學術文獻和各種商業功能的行業專家中汲取見解,包括金融、物流、製造、行銷、分銷、基礎設施和技術開發。

因此,本書採用詳細的行動設計研究(elaborated action design research, eADR)方法作為其指導框架,該方法採用系統性、迭代的方式進行診斷和設計,以開發可程式化決策背景下的決策支持模型實物。書中包含的實證研究涉及通過與高層管理人員的訪談、中層管理人員的團體討論以及與其他行業專家的諮詢進行數據收集。
