It is generally argued that the 4th Industrial Revolution is permeating all spheres of life, and has a particular impact on the functioning and success of organisations. The 4th Industrial Revolution is also referred to as the Digital Revolution, which is “characterized by the digitization of business, society and our lives” (Schiuma, 2017: 12). In addition to technological advances, organisations need to consider human-based dimensions and characteristics, and the biological components of the Digital Age, in other words the integration of technology, humanity and biology. During the Digital Age successful organisations will be those who recognise that their technological advancement will only reach its full potential if people are placed at the heart of organisational life with an equal focus on logical and rational components on the one hand, and emotional and creative dimensions on the other. This session welcomes abstracts that consider the nature and design of interventions that would lead to successful organisational adaptation to the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
