Mapping Knowledge Management for Sustainability and Information Technology: Trends and Opportunities

Abstract

Knowledge management became a relevant topic for academics and practitioners. Information and communication technologies are important tools for supporting knowledge management practices. In this sense, artificial intelligence has recently acquired great prominence. On the other hand, there is great interest in fitting organizational strategies in the so-called sustainability paradigm due to the urgency perceived by the different stakeholders. This chapter presents the results of a mapping bibliometric analysis of the academic literature that jointly addresses these three concepts using SciMAT software. These results include bibliometric performance metrics of publications and graphical representations of the cognitive structures (conceptual themes) hidden in the selected bibliographic sample. The work shows the most and least studied topics in the field. Also, a series of recommendations on possible lines of research work in the field are included.
