Abstract
This article explores the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and strategic foresight as a comprehensive framework for enhancing resilience in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It examines AI applications such as predictive analytics, scenario planning, and risk identification to improve operational efficiency and decision-making. By combining AI tools with foresight methodologies, the proposed framework helps SMEs anticipate market disruptions, adapt to evolving business environments, and build sustainable growth strategies. Addressing challenges like financial constraints and regulatory issues, this article provides practical insights for industry professionals and academics, highlighting effective strategies for leveraging AI to strengthen SME resilience and competitiveness.
期刊介绍：
Technology in Society is a global journal dedicated to fostering discourse at the crossroads of technological change and the social, economic, business, and philosophical transformation of our world. The journal aims to provide scholarly contributions that empower decision-makers to thoughtfully and intentionally navigate the decisions shaping this dynamic landscape. A common thread across these fields is the role of technology in society, influencing economic, political, and cultural dynamics. Scholarly work in Technology in Society delves into the social forces shaping technological decisions and the societal choices regarding technology use. This encompasses scholarly and theoretical approaches (history and philosophy of science and technology, technology forecasting, economic growth, and policy, ethics), applied approaches (business innovation, technology management, legal and engineering), and developmental perspectives (technology transfer, technology assessment, and economic development). Detailed information about the journal's aims and scope on specific topics can be found in Technology in Society Briefings, accessible via our Special Issues and Article Collections.
