Strategic decision-making counts to be the foundation of existence and future orientation of a business. With the onset of inducement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) across varied functionality domains of a business, it has turned out to be a transformative force which holds immense potential of reshaping the contemporary business landscape. Driving innovation and efficiency, AI-driven strategic decision-making in businesses, is exerting influence on various organizational parameters and decision domains. A comprehensive study was undertaken to explore the significant role of AI in enhancing decision accuracy, efficiency, and competitiveness. Key findings reveal a diverse representation of respondents across age groups, genders, and employment designations, reflecting the broad applicability of AI-driven decision-making across organizational hierarchies and sectors. Descriptive statistics showcase a strong performance in decision-making and risk management, while inferential statistics and correlation analysis affirm the significant influence of AI across four major business domains as proposed via a comprehensive model in this research. The study offers practical recommendations for effectively exploiting the superiority of AI through comprehensive training programs, clear ethical guidelines, and strengthened data governance practices amongst others. This research contributes to advancing academic knowledge and providing actionable insights for managers and policymakers seeking to capitalize on AI-driven strategic decision-making in the digital age.
