“…Similarly, future research can explore AI's learning perspective regarding data‐driven strategic resources in global expansion (Hartmann & Henkel, 2020) and international sports sponsorship management (Koronios et al, 2021). Furthermore, IB scholars could also extend AI's combinative aspects on the human augmentation versus augmenting automation debate (Raisch & Krakowski, 2021; Tschang & Almirall, 2021), human–machine collaboration that conjointly learns (Lyytinen et al, 2021; Murray et al, 2021), and modular products architect to facilitate firm internationalization (Habib et al, 2020; Ojala et al, 2018).…”

The collaboration between artificial intelligence (AI) and humans is reshaping international business (IB) management dynamics, aiming to achieve global sustainable development. Recent IB literature indicates that managing AI brings benefits such as better resource reconfiguration, reduced transaction costs, and global sustainable development. However, existing IB literature provides only meager knowledge about the characteristics of AI and how these characteristics can be employed for international expansion at the intersection of sustainable development. In response, our aim is to construct these characteristics by employing directed qualitative content analysis of empirical AI research. Based on our three constructed characteristics of AI, we contribute to current IB literature by providing a framework to balance economic and social goals and utilizing AI for global sustainable development. Further, we provide future IB research themes to guide IB and AI research toward achieving a sustainable production and consumption agenda.

“…For instance, firms that specialize in highly specialized technology components, which are always integrated and tailored to the customer's systems, may not draw substantial benefit from a platform model. Instead, these firms may be better suited to adopt a "component strategy" (Hannah and Eisenhardt, 2018) and focus on superior modular innovation with high technological novelty (Habib et al, 2020). However, even in these cases, the offerings may still become embedded in other actors' product platforms, making the platformization of the B2B landscape relevant even for component-focused players.…”

“…The main argument of this hypothesis is that modularized products are produced based on the ability of organizations to be easily modularized [20,21]. In addition, prior research has shown that organizations design products under certain conditions, indicating that the causes of the modularization of their products are important [22,23]. Establishing organizational modularity in R&D by reorganizing organizational units establishes interfaces and allows product modules to be compatible [24].…”

Introduction: In recent years, as in other fields, the architectural field has become increasingly globalized and internationalized. In this context, it is likely essential for each organization worldwide to understand how to leverage their respective strengths in internationalized projects. However, aspects of the characteristics related to how architecture is built in different regions are not fully understood. Objective: This study aims to develop a methodology for understanding the characteristics of architectural styles in different regions. In particular, this paper will focus on the process of building architecture and develop a methodology to understand the international differences at this point. Methodology: This study uses the “Architecture Concept” as the methodology. This methodology focuses on the interdependence among the components of an artifact. In this manuscript, the “building process” was considered one of the objects of this methodology. Although all construction projects take place under different conditions, it is possible to understand the tendency of design information of process design with this methodology. Results: This study selects regions where the building industry has reached technological maturity and compares building processes. Specifically, the UK in Europe and Japan in Asia will be compared. As a result, it is understood that the architectural process in the UK is more modular than the process in Japan. This analysis reveals that it is possible to understand the process in an “architectural” way.
