	Background. Management theories are products of their environment. Thus, the social, political, economic and technological forces present in a given time and locale create demand for a given theory and shape it. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div id=&quot;cke_pastebin&quot;&gt;
	Research aims. In this perspective paper the authors present how learning has evolved in management theories over the years and how challenges imposed by Industry 4.0 may impact the concepts of learning. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div id=&quot;cke_pastebin&quot;&gt;
	Methodology. The paper is based on an overview of literature and experts’ work. First, the authors refer to learning in management theories from the birth of the field until the present day. Second, they portray Industry 4.0 and the current stage of implementation of its ideas. Then, they indicate the macro-environmental and workforce challenges produced by Industry 4.0. Finally, they attempt to look at the role of learning in Industry 4.0 and whether there is a need for a new theory concerning learning for the fourth industrial revolution.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div id=&quot;cke_pastebin&quot;&gt;
	Key findings. The discourse of the paper suggests that new challenges require at least a modification of the existing theories concerned with learning of individuals and organisations as well as their further improvements.&lt;/div&gt;
