Artificial intelligence is transforming how management knowledge is produced, validated and used, yet the philosophical foundations of management research have not kept pace. The Philosophy of Management Research in the Age of AI offers a rigorous, accessible re-examination of those foundations through four lenses: ontology, epistemology, paradigm, and axiology. The authors show how core assumptions about reality, evidence, theory and value are unsettled when algorithms generate and analyse data and increasingly shape the questions researchers ask. The book traces the major paradigms of management research, clarifies the choices researchers face in designing credible studies, and examines the ethical and governance questions raised by AI-assisted inquiry, including accountability, transparency and the place of human judgement. Written as a research monograph with a strong pedagogical structure, including a glossary of key terms, it will be essential reading for doctoral students, early-career researchers and established scholars in business and management, and a valuable text for research methods courses across the social sciences. It will also interest policymakers and practitioners concerned with how AI is reshaping evidence and decision-making.
