The Size Factor: Managerial Views on Artificial Intelligence in Strategic Decision Processes
摘要
The issue of AI application in the context of company size has been poorly researched, and the impact of this variable on decision-making processes at the managerial level remains unclear. The aim of this article is therefore to determine whether company size influences the perception of AI applications in managerial decision-making processes. The research process used a measurement construct with four latent variables, i.e., AI proficiency, trust, perceived benefit, and perceived risk. The presented study was conducted on a deliberately selected group of 218 companies in Poland, and the respondents were strategic decision-makers in the surveyed companies. In order to verify the hypothesis put forward in the article, the collected research material was used to search for a relationship between the perception of AI applications in strategic decision-making and the size of the company. The research confirmed that trust in AI is significantly lower in companies operating on a self-employment basis. The presented considerations contributed to the deepening of knowledge in the field of management sciences, indicating the current perspective on the analyzed issue.
