This new volume explores the new paradigm that is Industry 4.0—the application of information-intensive technologies that integrate software, hardware, and biology (cyber-physical systems) for effective manufacturing and related industries. This volume focuses specifically on leadership that can respond quickly and effectively to changing conditions in the Industry 4.0 environment. It looks at leadership skills needed during the COVID-19 pandemic, skills that can be applied to many other changing conditions as well. The authors consider the role of virtual leadership in an age of working from home; present case studies that provide valuable lessons for the agile leader; and examine the crucial role of human resources in providing agile leadership to an organization. The volume aggregates original theoretical, conceptual, and empirical research on challenges and opportunities in the context on Industry 4.0.

This new volume explores the multifaceted landscape of knowledge management, with a particular emphasis on its application in higher education. The book offers diverse perspectives, strategies, and tools to enable global institutions to succeed and remain competitive in today’s disruptive business environment. Recognizing higher education as a conduit for global knowledge acquisition, propagation, and continuous learning, the book discusses the interplay between technologies, techniques, and people, the strategic value of knowledge, the role of reward systems, and the significance of tacit knowledge, presenting diverse global perspectives and showcasing strategies that foster better knowledge retention, aiming to elevate the standards of higher education.
