Rapidly emerging digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, the Internet of Things, blockchain, and virtual and augmented reality are driving profound changes in the workplace and society. These technologies are radically transforming areas of cognitive and physical work while opening up new opportunities for complex decision-making and increased efficiency. As a result, a new set of skills and a new style of leadership is required, where digital savviness is essential, together with an increased focus on collaboration, transparency, entrepreneurship, diversity, and inclusion.

This book, organized in six parts, presents key developments of the digital age in leadership, management, the future of work, and business education. Part I, Governance in the Digital Era, sets the scene by reviewing the challenges that the digital era presents for policy makers at national and global levels. This research is complemented by research at the organizational level in Part II, Strategy and Entrepreneurship in the Digital Era, that discusses strategic issues that organizations of different sizes and levels of digital maturity face. Part III, Innovation and digital transformation, presents examples from different sectors, where AI and other innovative technologies are integrated in business. Part IV, The Future of Work, focuses on the changing conditions of workspaces and their implications for human resource management and the future of work. Part V, Leadership and Skills for the Digital Era, explores the impact of this changing business and societal landscape and studies the leadership style and skills needed in these conditions. Finally, Part VI, The Future of Business Education, studies how such skills and leadership may be cultivated in business education and draws lessons for the future.

The book is based on a selection of the best papers on this topic presented at the international conference LMDE held in Athens, Greece, in June 2023.
