As organizations face increasing competition and technological advancements, optimizing operations and managing resources efficiently is crucial for maintaining a competitive edge. The integration of emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) enhances efficiency, improves resource allocation, and drives growth. This study explores how AI and IoT adoption optimizes business processes, improves decision-making, and fosters a competitive advantage Using a quantitative approach, data from 200 executives in AI and IoT-implemented industries were analyzed. The analysis, conducted using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), indicates that AI and IoT significantly enhance efficiency, resource utilization, and overall performance. Real-time monitoring and predictive analytics improve market alignment and operational trends The findings suggest that organizations adopting AI and IoT can better navigate dynamic business environments, enhance productivity, and sustain growth. Moreover, fostering innovation and continuous technological improvement is essential. This research underscores AI and IoT’s transformative potential in reshaping business operations and securing a competitive edge. Future research should explore these technologies' industry-specific impacts and broader innovation potential.

The world is moving quickly towards automation and digitalization in the modern era. This change is becoming crucial to corporate competitive strategies, especially in the logistics industry. The use of data in organizational decision-making is an essential aspect of this digital and automated environment. Several business sectors are implementing Big Data and Blockchain technologies to improve organizational capabilities by developing effective business processes. This inexorably affects the development of new business models that fit the changing global business landscape. The Business Model Canvas (BMC) is an effective tool for analyzing internal and external business model changes. A SWOT analysis of these business model transformations is necessary to explain the new business process changes further. First, the analysis shows that for businesses to function at their best, current technological advancements—particularly in Big Data and Blockchain—will continue to disrupt them. Second, there have been significant internal and external changes to intra- and inter-organizational relationships due to the implementation of Big Data and Blockchain. Thirdly, the benefits of Blockchain and Big Data technologies for business, especially logistics, can be further explained by SWOT analysis.
