Abstract: The Fourth Industrial Revolution, driven by unprecedented advancements in automation, robotics, and artificial intelligence (AI), is profoundly redefining the contours of corporate management. This paper undertakes a critical inquiry into the transformative impact of these disruptive technologies on contemporary organisational strategies, decision-making architectures, and workforce configurations within an increasingly digitized milieu. It elucidates the manifold opportunities engendered by the integration of intelligent systems—including heightened operational efficiency, accelerated innovation, and strategic competitiveness—while concurrently interrogating the attendant challenges, notably ethical quandaries, technological displacement, and widening skill asymmetries. Highlighting the exigency of adaptive leadership, perpetual reskilling, and judicious technological assimilation, the study accentuates the necessity of cultivating a human-centric ethos amidst digital transformation. By engaging with illustrative case studies and scrutinizing emergent global trends, the paper proffers empirically grounded insights and pragmatic frameworks to enable enterprises to harness the disruptive potential of automation, robotics, and AI in pursuit of sustainable, inclusive, and future-ready corporate growth.
