For business students and educators
Artificial Intelligence in Business Practice
Strategy, Governance, and Applied Decision Making
A free, openly licensed textbook that helps students become AI-fluent managers rather than technical specialists. It covers the strategy, governance, implementation, and sector applications of AI in business, with no prior technical or programming background required.
Structured for a 14-week term, the book moves from the economics of prediction through strategy, data, and governance, into implementation, organizational change, and measurement, before applying its frameworks to marketing, operations, human resources, finance, healthcare, and education. Examples and regulatory references use a Canadian lens.
Free for students to read and download, and ready for educators to adopt, adapt, and build into their own courses under a CC BY 4.0 license.
