Abstract

The study examined the association between artificial intelligence (AI) utilization, AI-driven decision-making, firm creativity, AI capability, and enterprise performance. We adopted regression analysis and correlation techniques to test the hypotheses. Furthermore, the study findings show positive associations between AI utilization and firm performance, AI-driven decision-making, firm creativity, and AI capability. Additionally, firm creativity and decision-making quality and efficiency mediate the relationships between AI utilization and MNEs' performance. The results identify the potential of AI technologies in enhancing firms' operationalization in terms of decision-making and creativity to gain a competitive advantage. The study provides useful insights into theoretical implications regarding AI adaptation and utilization to gain a competitive advantage.

Keywords: Artificial intelligence AI, decision making, creativity, MNEs performance, novel technologies.
