Are you resilient? Machine learning prediction of corporate rebound out of the Covid‐19 pandemic

Abstract

We use the Covid‐19 crisis to assess how four capability domains that traditionally support corporate performance (agility, innovation, ecosystem play and digitization) can also predict corporate resilience, among global firms. Our results are based on a blend of advanced machine learning techniques that capture the complementarities among capabilities. We confirm that dynamic capabilities boost recovery, but especially when linked with aggressive leadership posture, e.g. rebound is more likely when firms are the main player/orchestrator of their business ecosystems as well as when they invest in disruptive, as opposed to incremental innovations.

Managing artificial intelligence in international business: Toward a research agenda on sustainable production and consumption

“…Initial research on multinational enterprises reveals that AI models can predict stock trends, thereby evaluating firms' corporate competitiveness (Zong & Wang, 2022). Similarly, AI models can predict corporate resilience, which may guide managers in developing dynamic capabilities to support their competitive advantage and create a portfolio of competencies to be used during a crisis (Bughin, 2023). Moreover, research on Finnish small and medium-sized firms has shown that AI models can predict the earliness of internationalization and international performance, thereby evaluating capability portfolios consisting of different firm resources such as managers' networking abilities, bricolage capabilities, and decision-making heuristics (Vuorio & Torkkeli, 2023).…”
