Title: Management Education in the Fourth Industrial Revolution

Session Description:

Management educators currently find themselves in an era of great disruption, not only from the current challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic but also due to the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) which is rapidly transforming society and the workplace.  The 4IR is upending how we work, where we work, why we work, and who does the work, creating implications for what managers and leaders will do, and how we can better prepare our students for jobs of the very near future.  In this session, we will briefly describe the 4IR including its implications for management educators and our stakeholders, both in terms of what we teach and how we teach.

Fukami is Professor of Management at the Daniels College of Business, University of Denver.  In addition to her disciplinary contributions, she has made substantial contributions to the scholarship of teaching and learning.
