Special Issue Editors:
Dr. Carolin Fleischmann, Professor of International Business, Rosenheim Technical University of Applied Sciences
Dr. Kristen Getchell, Associate Professor of Business Communication, Babson College
Organizations are rapidly adopting Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, such as Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing or Computer Vision. Business communication teaching and practice are adapting to this new environment, which offers many benefits but also presents challenges and ethical dilemmas. In 2022, BPCQ published an article by Kristen M. Getchell, Stephen Carradini, Peter W. Cardon, Carolin Fleischmann, Haibing MA, Jolanta Aritz, and James Stapp titled "Artificial Intelligence in Business Communication: The Changing Landscape of Research and Teaching" which provided an overview of the ways in which AI technologies are affecting the practice of business communication. This special issue builds on the work of Getchell et al. (2022), and encourages the further study of AI in business communication with the goal of building knowledge for scholars, teachers, and practitioners.
Possible topics can include, but are not limited to the following:
-
The transformation of business communication as a result of AI
-
The use of AI to make business communication more efficient and effective
-
Challenges of AI adoption in the workplace or limitations of new AI technologies for communicating to a business audience
-
The implementation of AI tools in the workplace
-
AI, collaboration, and management
-
Psychological impacts of AI in business communication
-
Ethical or legal implications of AI adoption
-
Teaching AI-enabled business communication in higher education
-
AI for Business Writing/ Augmented Writing (including ChatGPT and similar applications)
-
AI tools assessment
This special issue of BPCQ welcomes contributions from academic and practitioner authors from business communication and related fields. We value all rigorous research approaches and methods. Each study should clearly discuss implications for business communication teaching and/or practice.
