Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid advancement of smart technologies has opened new pathways for organizations to align growth strategies with sustainability goals, reshaping the way businesses operate in the era of green transformation. From managerial and administrative perspectives, the integration of technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, the Internet of Things, and advanced analytics not only enhances operational efficiency but also promotes eco-friendly practices and responsible resource management. The goal of this Special Issue is to explore how smart technologies can be strategically leveraged from managerial and administrative perspectives to foster organizational sustainability and drive green growth. Emphasis is placed on examining innovative tools such as artificial intelligence, big data analytics, blockchain, IoT, and digital platforms that enable organizations to optimize resource utilization, reduce environmental impact, and build resilient business models. By focusing on leadership strategies, policy frameworks, and sustainable administrative practices, this Special Issue seeks to bridge the gap between technology adoption and sustainable management, offering actionable insights that support organizations in achieving long-term environmental, social, and economic objectives.
