The rapid changes occurring within the environment of information technology on the global scale seem to have been greatly influenced by the artificial intelligence, digital innovation and information technology (IT) governance. Beijing, the capital city of China and known as the Silicon Valley of technology focused cities, has these aspects in predicting the performance and the competitiveness of IT based companies. This research aims to explore the relationship between the Artificial Intelligence technology, the introduction of new digital products, and Information Technology management in a sample of IT firms located in Beijing China. In doing so, the study looks to resonate the identified factors which can directly or indirectly affect competition and enhancing growth in the dynamic economy. This study utilized the descriptive design as it described the current status of the IT companies’ AI implementation, digital transformation, and IT governance. A self-constructed questionnaire was used as it helped to identify targeted information which addressed the research objectives. Being specialists in their own right, IT 400 managers were used as respondents of the study as they are extremely knowledgeable about the operational environment of the IT industry, including new developments, challenges faced, and overall best practices employed. The IT managers have an overall agreement on the satisfactory view of AI inclusion in the business processes in three domains, Technical Infrastructure, Employee Technical Capability, and Employee Productivity. They also expressed agreement that digital innovation is very well attended to in terms of cultural readiness, technology readiness and management support in most IT organizations. The practices of IT governance are effectively addressing the concerns of governance efficiency, management of risks as well compliance as agreed by the respondents. Respondents agreed that artificial intelligence adoption, digital innovation, and information technology governance did not have any significant relationships. Strategies for enhancing competitive advantage were established.
