As people, we trying to make sense of the change to prepare for future challenges. Making sense of the world requires understanding which requires information that turns into knowledge and when internalized becomes insights.It is this alchemy that makes educators relevant and education energized. The Post-truth world where a flat earth society can flourish points to the fact that there seems to be a very thin line between fact and fiction. Competing narratives, fake news, hidden agendas, dwindling attention spans, the pursuit of convenience makes matters more complicated. Viewing an ever-increasing complex world through a lens of overspecialization is distorting reality even further and is making research limited to publications in easy journals. The book “ Global Business Environment – Shifting Paradigms in the Fourth Industrial Revolution” lays the contextual and interdisciplinary framework for understanding the complex environment for today’s society and business. *The Scope* *From The Author* - Technology and AI: The Heart of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. - New Age Economics: New Frontiers in Economic Thought - The Right and Left of International Politics - Society & Culture: The Changing Dynamics - Issues and Challenges of the 21st Century The textbook is based on Marilyn Ferguson’s philosophy “Making mental connections is our most crucial learning tool, the essence of human intelligence is to forge links, to go beyond the given, to see patterns, relationships, context.” The book does not provide easy answers and readymade solutions but helps students and faculty delve further in each section. Accordingly, every chapter has an exhaustive list of questions that can guide research in the field of industry 4.0. The Class Room is the place where the future is shaped. The Classes of Today need to discuss issues of tomorrow by raising new doubts and critically examining issues and not memorizing yesterday’s bits and pieces. I do hope, the textbook will invigorate the learning experience for both students and faculty. *- Dr. Mansi Kapoor* *ORDER NOW* <https://us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/author/mansi-kapoor> <https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/global-business-environment-shifting-paradigms-in-the-fourth-industrial-revolution_mansi-kapoor/21207319/#isbn=9353284546> <https://www.amazon.in/Global-Business-Environment-Mansi-Kapoor/dp/9353284546> ____ AIB-L is brought to you by the Academy of International Business.
