Vol. 1 No. 3 (2026): Strategic Decisions Under Uncertainty

As artificial intelligence transforms organizational decision-making, the boundaries between human judgment, technological autonomy, and strategic responsibility are becoming increasingly complex. Organizations face a fundamental challenge: how to leverage intelligent systems while navigating uncertainty surrounding decision authority, professional expertise, technological investment, and institutional expectations. This issue of Directiva explores how emerging forms of intelligence reshape strategic choices and challenge established assumptions about organizational control, capability development, and accountability.

Beyond organizational boundaries, uncertainty is also transforming competitive markets and financial systems. Autonomous AI agents are redefining how brands gain consumer consideration, conflicting regulatory authorities are reshaping perceptions of corporate legitimacy, and algorithm-driven investment strategies may conceal unexpected concentrations of financial risk. Meanwhile, irreversible technological commitments force organizations to balance immediate opportunities against future strategic flexibility. Together, these perspectives reveal that uncertainty is not merely an external condition to be managed but an evolving consequence of increasingly interconnected technological, organizational, and institutional decisions.

Strategic Decisions Under Uncertainty brings together six conceptual contributions that advance understanding of decision-making in an increasingly intelligent and interdependent economy. By connecting organizational governance, human capital development, market competition, institutional legitimacy, strategic investment, and financial resilience, this issue invites scholars and practitioners to reconsider how strategic decisions are formulated, justified, and sustained. It offers a compelling intellectual perspective on the opportunities, paradoxes, and responsibilities emerging as intelligent technologies redefine the foundations of strategic management.
