Year: 2026
Type: dissertation
Abstract: This thesis explores the impact of Generative AI on strategic decision-making processes across individual, managerial, and organizational levels. The study employs a mixed-methods approach that integrates quantitative analysis with qualitative expert interviews to examine cognitive offloading, evolving managerial capabilities, and innovation dynamics in AI-supported environments. The individual contribution focuses on the mediating role of organizational culture and leadership in AI transformation. The findings indicate that cultural readiness emerges in contexts where meaning, trust, and psychological safety are established. Conversely, resistance arises in uncertain and fragmented environments. The role of leadership in this context entails the alignment of structural and cultural factors to ensure the ongoing viability of AI driven transformation
