Strategic Leadership in the Fourth Industrial Revolution: Prospects, Promises, and Pitfalls

The symposium is intended to stimulate scholarly conversations and build a scholarly community around the role of strategic leaders in facilitating the process of digital transformation amidst the challenges and opportunities of the 4th Industrial Revolution – a fusion of technologies and systems blurring the lines between the physical, digital, and biological spheres. Given the profound influences these interrelated developments will have on internal and organizational factors, there is a pressing need to ensure our theories and research methods on strategic leadership are appropriately reflective of these emerging influences. We envision the symposium to help us generate awareness for pressing research opportunities in this emerging area and to convene and enlarge our research community by inviting scholars from a broad array of research streams and various AOM Divisions.
