| Abstract: | We are on the precipice of significant change in industry. Some have called it industry 4.0, and without significant attention, business management educators will be unfamiliar and underprepared--and as a result, they will not adequately equip their students for change. This essay explores the need for a digital mindset and tech literacy in business management education. The essay begins by examining why the need exists and continues by discussing some of the critical concepts that must be integrated into a business management program to better prepare students for the future of work. The essay concludes by sharing several pedagogical applications that can be incorporated into the material in the undergraduate or graduate classroom. |
