AI OERs (Open Educational Resources) for Business Management

AI is changing the way businesses work—and the way we teach about business. These AI Open Educational Resources (OERs) are here to help educators and learners explore how AI is being used across the business world, from marketing to leadership.

Whether you're a university lecturer, a business student, or just curious about the future of work, these resources are designed to make applied and ethical AI easy to understand—and even easier to teach.

Each section focuses on a different area of business, showing how AI is already being used and what challenges it brings. You'll find real-life case studies, hands-on activities, simulations, and interactive tools—all free to use and ready to bring into the classroom.

What You’ll Learn

These OERs are designed for university lecturers, business and management students, and anyone interested in understanding how AI is transforming the world of work.

Whether you're teaching a course, studying business, or building your skills, the resources will help you:

Understand how AI tools are being applied in marketing, human resources, finance, supply chain, and leadership. Learn what these technologies do, and how they’re already changing business operations.
Discover the risks and dilemmas AI can create, from biased hiring algorithms to opaque decision-making systems. Learn how to evaluate these risks and apply practical strategies to address them.
Through case studies, demos, and simulations, you'll learn how to use AI tools—like recommender systems, chatbots, predictive analytics, and auditing software—in ways that are responsible, inclusive, and impactful.
Lecturers will find ready-to-use lesson plans, scenario exercises, and digital activities that make AI approachable and relevant for students. Each resource is designed to promote active learning and critical thinking.
