Abstract
This study investigated
the relationship between artificial intelligence adoption and organisational
transformation of bakery firms in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. The study
adopted the correlational research design. 100 managers from 20 selected and
registered bakery firms operating in Port Harcourt was sued for the study. The
questionnaire designed in a likert response options was used for the collection
of data for the study. Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) was used to
test the formulated hypotheses at 0.01 level of significance. Findings
revealed that there is a positive significant relationship between artificial
intelligence adoption (predictive maintenance and smart production scheduling)
and organisational transformation (knowledge transfer and innovation) of bakery
firms in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. The study concluded that artificial
intelligence adoption transforms traditional bakery operations into
knowledge-driven and innovative production systems. This transformation
strengthens competitiveness and long-term sustainability of bakery firms. Among
others, the study recommended that bakery firms should link AI maintenance
systems to digital knowledge platforms where equipment data, fault reports, and
repair solutions are stored and shared. This will enable technicians and
production staff to access past experiences, learn best practices and transfer
technical knowledge more effectively, thereby supporting organisational
learning.
