Knowledge Management for Sustainable Development in the Era of Continuously Accelerating Technological Revolutions: A Framework and Models

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The paper is written from an interdisciplinary point of view on the topic of the phenomenon of continuously accelerating technological revolutions. The paper considers different points of view of a new human society era. It first deals with the challenges for humanity brought by new technological revolutions, then analyzes the existing models of knowledge management from the angle of sustainable development and proposes their improvement and setting up new models. The three layer model of knowledge management and boundary management and learning model specific to knowledge sharing are especially promoted. At the end of the paper, a discussion was presented regarding several implications for the future period, ie. megatrends that will be significant for human society in the future.

The article is well written and analyzes is presented appropriately. The research question is original and the results are interpreted appropriately. Nevertheless, I am of the opinion that the hypotheses of the paper should be more clearly emphasized in the text itself and put in abstract as well. Next, I would suggest changing the title because I find it too long. Chapter 3 should be reformulated into two separate chapters that make up the discussion and conclusion, without writing in the first person singular.

The English language is appropriate and understandable. However, does not explain enough abbreviations that are in it. Namely, each abbreviation must be explained when it is used for the first time, which is not the case in the paper. The abbreviation „Padkos“ should be better explained and unique, as it appears in different variants like „Pankos“ and „Patkos“. Also, all figures should be mentioned in the text and may need to be numbered more adequately.

Reviewer 3 Report

The paper provides interesting insights on the thematic and incorporates the theoretical and empirical implication of the most recent technological advancement concerning knowledge management (KM) in the context of sustainable development as an updated conceptual model. The paper is well written and the arguments are presented in a logical and coherent manner.

I recommend that the paper is accepted for publication after minion revisions, mostly related to the introduction section, namely:

• The introduction section does not provide sufficient information on the methodological approach used to examine the research problem.
• Please also consider briefly explain the structure and organization of the paper.

Line 107- financial crisis instead of final? crisis  -consider revising

Best wishes,

The reviewer
