This pioneering Handbook chronicles the research landscape of strategic leadership in what is referred to as the ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’: a fusion of technologies and systems which blurs the boundaries between the digital, physical and biological spheres.
In this Handbook, leading global scholars and practitioners in the field recognise the profound change the Fourth Industrial Revolution will have on organizational processes, structures, and systems. Contributing authors advocate for the need to ensure theory and empirical research on strategic leadership are appropriately reflective of these developing issues. Outlining new frameworks to adapt to the challenges and opportunities of the future, authors highlight the implications of transformative technologies for the evolving roles of strategic leaders and offer unique perspectives and insights. This Handbook also provides a crucial authoritative review of the latest thought leadership on how strategic leaders can navigate the Fourth Industrial Revolution and, looking ahead, suggests an ambitious agenda for future research.
Combining theoretical grounding with practical guidance, the Handbook of Research on Strategic Leadership in the Fourth Industrial Revolution is a vital read for researchers, practitioners and policymakers specialising in business and management, corporate governance, strategic management and economics and finance.

‘It is not currently well understood how the “Fourth Industrial Revolution” influences opportunities and threats for firms and what it means for leadership activity. Zeki Simsek, Ciaran Heavey and Brian Fox have put together a brilliant book that represents one of the first sustained attempts at understanding these thorny but increasingly pressing issues. Highly recommend!’
– Nicolai J. Foss, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark
‘In today''s world, management and technology are two sides of the same coin – and one cannot understand one without the other. This excellent Handbook offers a comprehensive account on how the two intersect in the 4th Industrial Revolution.’
