Dear Colleagues:
As you complete your planning for this year's annual meeting of the Academy of Management in August, please consider joining us for a lively discussion of strategic leadership in the context of the 4th Industrial Revolution.
We have a selection of some of the premier researchers in the world on this topic who will present their cutting-edge work regarding how strategic leaders and strategic leadership researchers are grappling with the seismic changes driven by a confluence of technologies and trends collectively described as the 4th Industrial Revolution. The aim of this symposium is to bring together researchers and thought leaders to better understand how this new paradigm will affect the theory and practice of strategic leadership. In addition, we will be discussing a forthcoming volume that includes these contributions, alongside several others.
The event will be at 2PM on August 7th in the Orleans room of the Marriott Hotel. If you have already registered for the AOM meeting, you can add the event to your personal itinerary here.
For your convenience, the details of the session are provided below. We look forward to seeing you there!
ABSTRACT
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.
