Unleashing the Power: How Knowledge Management and Organizational Learning Drives Innovation

Dear Colleagues,

In 2024’s post-pandemic world, innovation is a necessity for survival. In this world where artificial intelligence seems to be taking the upper hand, it is no longer about survival of the fittest but of the brightest, and the intellectual brilliance of people, organizations and societies may be measured by innovation.

Quite crucially, knowledge management and organizational learning are two forms of reasoning and acting that foster innovation.

The expectation for this Special Issue is to address these gaps by exploring the intersection of knowledge management, innovation, and human behavior in the post-COVID era. This could involve examining the role of artificial intelligence in fostering creativity and collaboration, the impact of different leadership styles on knowledge sharing and innovation, and the potential for using technology to facilitate more inclusive and equitable knowledge sharing and collaboration. Ultimately, the goal is to provide practical insights and recommendations for organizations seeking to enhance their knowledge management and innovation practices in the new work environment.

Research articles, review articles, and short communications are invited. Studies can be discursive, quantitative, qualitative, or mixed method, providing a comprehensive understanding of the link between knowledge management and innovation in a post-pandemic world. This Special Issue serves as a platform for researchers to share their insights and findings on how knowledge management can drive innovation in a rapidly evolving landscape.

We request that, prior to submitting a manuscript, interested authors initially submit a proposed title and an abstract of 200-500 words summarizing their intended contribution. Please send this to the Guest Editor or to the Assistant Editor, Ms. Zoya Zhang (zoya.zhang@mdpi.com). Abstracts will be reviewed by the Guest Editor for the purposes of ensuring proper fit within the scope of the Special Issue. Full manuscripts will undergo double-blind peer-review.
