Abstract
Societies around the globe are facing enormous changes based on new technologies and an exponential growth in the amount of data. At the same time, we are facing the ‘wicked’ problems of world, like climate change, population growth and the lack of natural resources. Due to the importance and complexity of this transition, it is referred to as the ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’. The change will be fast and complex; it will affect all sectors of society and fundamentally change the way we live. The goal of this article is to identify the available methodological components and fine-tune them to create new concepts to build a framework for ecosystem-based development in the transition of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. At the same time, this article attempts to develop framework for the strategic management of complex change in order to achieve a competitive edge for companies and to improve the regional business environment.
