How Gen AI Is Transforming Market Research

Generative AI is revolutionizing market research by offering unprecedented ways to understand customers, assess competitors, and extend data-driven decision-making organizationally. Research with pioneering companies reveals four key opportunities: gen AI supports existing practices by making them faster and more scalable; replaces traditional methods with synthetic data that can match conventional results with greater accuracy; fills insight gaps by providing evidence for decisions previously based on intuition; and creates innovative applications like digital twins for testing customer interactions. Survey data shows 45% of market researchers already use gen AI, with most employing it to analyze transcripts and data. While acknowledging limitations around bias and representativeness, this framework helps business leaders navigate gen AI's transformative potential in gathering customer and market insights more efficiently and effectively than ever before.

Journal of Management Studies

Business collective action (BCA) has long been a topic of interest to management scholars. However, our theoretical understanding of this important phenomenon has been hindered by its fragmented development in the literature. To address this shortcoming, we conduct a comprehensive review of BCA across a wide range of disciplines in management including corporate political activity, private regulation, strategic management, and organizational institutionalism.

Working Paper

The rise of low-cost artificial intelligence (AI) technologies offers significant potential for businesses globally, yet AI adoption remains uneven. What shapes this unequal adoption? While prior work attributes adoption patterns to demand-side factors including physical costs and complementary assets, we theorize that AI entrepreneurs' strategic choice to target specific markets creates both search and perceived-fit frictions for firms outside of those markets.

We examine the New York Clearing House Association (NYCHA), a private market-governance institution among commercial banks in Manhattan that operated from 1853 to 1913.
