ABSTRACT
A shift in business education from business schools to business organizations introduces challenges for the former to stay relevant and ensure agile employability for business leaders in the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). This introductory chapter underlines the need for continuous innovation of curriculum and teaching/learning methods and looks to the triple helix hypothesis that links universities, companies, and governments as inseparable. From a theoretical perspective, the work in this book is grounded within disruptive innovation theory, which this Introduction explains is used to formulate suggestions for an innovative executive education ecosystem model that reskills and upskills 4IR leaders to manage future changes in the workforce successfully.
