Abstract	We have entered the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). Disruption is coming--in fact, it is here. New paradigms are forming, which will bring significant change to the workplace. It is unclear what changes will come to pass and what will be their ultimate impact on the workplace. But our discipline of management bears a deep responsibility to prepare our students for this future workplace in their role as employees and their roles as leaders and managers. In this article, we share our journey in addressing this rapidly emerging issue so that others may benefit from what we learned. First, we argue that the topic of the 4IR and the future of work should be a required part of the business school curriculum. Second, we detail the process we followed in developing a management elective on the 4IR, including our insights into developing a course in a relatively unfamiliar territory. Third, we end with a call for an ongoing collaborative discussion on approaches to teaching this new area from a management perspective. (As Provided).
