Preface

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence has significantly reshaped the domains of commerce and management, creating new opportunities for innovation, efficiency, and strategic transformation. Across industries, AI-driven tools and systems are influencing managerial decision-making, marketing, customer engagement, automation, fraud detection, predictive analysis, and entrepreneurship. These developments are redefining the way organizations function and compete in an increasingly digital and data-driven economy.

This edited volume, AI-Driven Transformation in Commerce and Management, brings together scholarly perspectives on the growing relevance of Artificial Intelligence in business practices and management thought. The volume is inspired by the academic deliberations surrounding the 2nd Virtual International Conference on AI Driven Transformation in Commerce and Management – Competitive Advantage and Innovation, organised by the Department of Commerce, RBVRR Women’s College (Autonomous), Narayanaguda, Hyderabad.

The contributions in this book reflect contemporary concerns and emerging possibilities in the field, including ethical use of AI, AI-powered decision-making, digital marketing, data privacy, innovation in entrepreneurship, human–AI collaboration, and the economic implications of AI on traditional industries. Together, these chapters provide valuable insights for academicians, researchers, students, and professionals seeking to understand the transformative impact of AI on commerce and management.

As editor, I express my sincere gratitude to all contributing authors, reviewers, faculty members, and organizers whose efforts have made this volume possible. I hope this book serves as a useful academic resource and stimulates further research on the role of AI in shaping sustainable and innovative business ecosystems.
