Research Problem: While AI adoption is rapidly gaining traction globally, a significant divide exists. large firms leverage substantial R&D resources to secure competitive advantages, whereas new ventures often struggle with the liabilities of newness. These ventures face severe resource constraints and a lack of formalized frameworks, making it difficult to translate initial AI investments into sustained performance. Consequently, while new ventures may possess the agility to experiment with AI, they often fail to achieve long-term growth due to a critical misalignment between their internal dynamic capabilities and the resource-heavy demands of effective AI integration.
