Strategic and Ethical Impact of AI-Enhanced Marketing Systems on Organizational Performance: A Mixed-Methods Investigation

Abstract

This current research aims to assess the effect of the ethical incorporation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in marketing information systems on organizational performance, decision-making, and strategic results. Employing a mixed-methods approach, this study will integrate quantitative survey feedback (n = 500+) with qualitative evidence obtained through expert interviews and case studies from various sectors. The research will analyze the AI application in real-time personalization, data governance, and forecasting and its measurement in terms of ROI, productivity, and competitive differentiation. The study will create a framework by combining the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Economic Decision-Making Theory to connect the ethical use of AI with measurable strategic returns. In order to help businesses maximize the economic benefit of AI, this paper lays out practical recommendations for strong ethical data practices.
