Artificial Intelligence-Enabled Human Resource Functional Innovations in the E-Economy

The rapid growth of the e-economy, driven by digital technologies and decentralized systems, is reshaping how organizations approach Human Resource Management (HRM). Traditional, location-based HR models no longer work in a remote work world, platform labor, and algorithmic management. This book explains how HR innovations such as AI, blockchain credentialing, and virtual organizational structures are redefining employees' work, talent, and performance. The world is moving beyond merely making things easier with technology; it critically examines the ethical and human-centered challenges these changes pose. The study combines insights from multiple disciplines to offer an in-depth understanding of how digital tools connect with human resource functions. This chapter presents case studies, success stories, and challenges of digital-enabled HR functions in an e-economy. Aimed at scholars, policymakers, and practitioners, the book promotes deeper reflection on fairness, inclusion, and resilience in the digital workplace.
