Knowledge Management and Technology-driven Corporates’ Sustainability: A Rapid Review

In light of the increasing recognition of environmental and social challenges, technology-driven corporations often face significant barriers in aligning their innovation-driven goals with sustainable practices. Despite their capacity for rapid technological advancements, these companies struggle to integrate sustainability objectives into their core strategies due to competing priorities and a lack of cohesive frameworks. This study explores Knowledge Management’s (KM) capacity to facilitate and implement sustainable practices. We use the Rapid Review methodology to systematically review the literature and achieve this objective. A total of 35 articles were analyzed, examining factors related to organizational knowledge, the adoption of KM within technology-driven companies, and effective sustainable practices. The results highlight the importance of KM in facilitating and implementing sustainable practices, showing that technology-driven companies that invest in organizing their knowledge can improve their effectiveness in implementing sustainable initiatives, increase their resilience and competitiveness, and strengthen trust with stakeholders.
