Industry 4.0: Training new managers for the digital revolution

Jikyeong Kang, dean of the Asian Institute of Management, sees digital transformation as not only technological changes, but also as a change in the mindset of education. Along these lines, Enase Okonedo, dean of the Lagos Business School, stresses the importance of preparing students to take advantage of the circumstances and adapt to these transformations. According to Francisco Veloso, Dean of the Imperial College Business School, these types of skills, such as problem solving, teamwork and communication skills, are fundamental in the creation of new learning environments. Martin Boehm, Dean of the IE Business School, agrees with the need to develop skills in students, and adds that it is necessary to rethink current study methodologies, something for which technological tools, such as artificial intelligence, are of great help.
