The paper argues that humanity finds itself at the dawn of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). The
introduction of new business models, the disruption of incumbents and the reshaping of production,
consumption, transportation and delivery systems are evidence of profound changes taking place
across industries. The velocity, breadth, depth, and impact of the changes are unlike those
previously experienced. From the premise of these challenges and opportunities Schwab (2016)
propagated a 4-type intelligence proposition (contextual-, emotional-, inspired-, and physical
intelligence) to be applied so as to adapt and harness the potential of disruption. Applying critical
interpretive synthesis, this paper argues the lack of a disposition type of intelligence in Schwab’s
proposition and proposes its expansion to include entrepreneurial intelligence, thereby increasing
the potential of realisation, impact and value creating solutions. [View resource]
