Knowledge Management in the Era of Emerging Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue aims to collect theoretical and empirical studies that contribute to developing a better understanding of the relationship between knowledge management and emerging technologies. Indeed, emerging technologies will affect organizations, enhancing market and organizational performance. Emerging technologies, such as digital technology, promise improvements of the management of information and knowledge in organizations.

However, a better understanding of the peculiar effects of each technology on knowledge management is necessary, also linking such a relationship with Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0 paradigms. Among emerging technologies, the Special Issue proposes a focus on:

• 3D printing
• Artificial intelligence
• Big data technologies
• Blockchain
• Cloud computing
• Quantum computing
• Digital applications (e.g., social networks, mobile applications, and web applications)
• Geo-spatial technologies
• Human–computer interaction (e.g., chatbot and voice/speech/facial/text recognition techniques)
• Immersive environments (e.g., virtual reality, augmented reality, and digital twin)
• Internet of things
• Open and crowd-based platforms
• Proximity technologies
• Robotics (e.g., autonomous driverless vehicles, drones, industrial and service robots)

Therefore, researchers are encouraged to submit papers that contribute to the literature by proposing new theories and practical issues related to the relationship between knowledge management and emerging technologies.
