[EGOV LIST] Call for Papers in Sustainability (JCR. Special Issue: "Emerging Technologies Implementation in Sustainable Management"

[Manuel Pedro Rodríguez Bolívar]

Special Issue Title: Emerging Technologies Implementation in Sustainable Management

Dear Colleagues,

Contemporary society is characterized by a series of economic, technological, social, and environmental changes (Ahlstrom et al. 2020; Goworek et al. 2020) producing more complex business and management challenges which require a large amount of knowledge to solve (Zivanovic et al. 2023). In the business sphere, the development of science and technology creates the need for constant changes for organizations and individuals (Zivanovic et al. 2023).

This way, under these three axes and challenges (technological, social, and environmental changes), sustainable management arises, and it is defined as the application of sustainable practices in commerce, agriculture, the environment, production, and other fields by management in a manner that is beneficial to present and future generations. Concretely, the eruption of emerging technologies is becoming a business tool to help businesses improve their sustainable management practices. Indeed, the implementation of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, blockchain, cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), etc., is disrupting the way businesses are working and performing their processes, allowing them to improve their performance.

Nonetheless, these emerging technologies can have the potential to influence the ability to achieve the sustainable development goals (SDGs) in various ways (positive and negative). Despite these comments, in business models developed for new technologies the method for their specific application in a given case remains unknown (Niekurzak and Mikulik 2023). Therefore, in this Special Issue we wonder how the implementation of emerging technologies could help to innovate and improve current business processes in a sustainable manner.

The Special Issue aims to collect theoretical and empirical studies that contribute to developing a better understanding of the relationship between emerging technologies and sustainable management. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

Empirical experiences of the implementation of emerging technologies to improve sustainable development.
The impact of emerging technologies (Artificial Intelligence, IoT, Big Data, Virtual Reality, etc.) on sustainable management.
The impact of emerging technologies on energy resources and water management.
Circular economy, emerging technologies, and sustainable management.
The impact of emerging technologies on waste management (food waste, electronic waste, etc.).
Decision support systems based on emerging technologies for sustainable management.
The role of emerging technologies in sustainable management.
Blockchain technology-based sustainable management research.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
