Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the broad topic of “Enterprise Operation and Innovation Management Sustainability” and includes novel research pertaining to operation and innovation management, strategic innovation management, internal and external organizational environments, and how these environments interact with global sustainable business development. We therefore welcome theoretical and empirical articles that address the following topics: the application of innovation management around the world; the synergistic effect of the impacts of low-energy production and sustainable production within innovation processes; concepts related to industry 4.0, with regard to robotics, digitization and artificial intelligence within sustainable industry and economic development; issues related to the international labor market and new jobs and job displacement; international sustainable business development regarding the current energy crisis, which has resulted challenges related to energy and the environment; corporate social responsibility; the smart economy; risk management in relation to the Green Deal; the fallouts of the COVID-19 pandemic; modes of international entrepreneurial expansion in global markets; and the corporate and/or personal impact of diversity, inclusion, and equity (DEI) programs.
We encourage the submission of articles that focus on empirical and non-empirical methods in today’s complex world, as well as those that present novel approaches to addressing international sustainable business development and/or innovation management. This includes the management of enterprise operations and the impact of all other types of social and economic sustainable development on the world’s business and economy. All submissions must contain original unpublished work that is not being considered for publication elsewhere.
