Special Issue Theme:

 Ever since the first industrial revolution, industry has been an engine for growth and innovation. Industrial development has had a tremendous impact on the developed and emerging societies, perhaps more so than any domain of human effort. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) perform a vital part in enhancing and strengthening this growth in terms of financial and social impact. Large scale globalization has pressured the SMEs to re-design their perspective and to provide products with good quality, reduced cost, and a variety of products with higher performance and improved technology. With globalization, technological changes have enhanced performances and physical resources to generate ideas that have helped in translating it to social and economic value. With the transformation of the existing information society into analytical data driven and human centric- society 5.0, the SMEs are at the forefront of the change by integrating these technological innovations in their working practices. SMEs are critical actors in global sustainability efforts, not only as drivers of technological change, but also as adopters of sustainable business models and practices to achieve societal and enviromental goals. However, SMEs are in an especially difficult position with the importance of innovation and use  of new  technologies as their resources are more limited than larger enterprises and thus, they might need greater support in their entrepreneurial activities.

The current economic pressure due to pandemic as well as to the war in Ukraine are examples of events  which are affecting the performance and sustainability of the industrial sector.  SMEs need therefore to be more prepared to manage such changes and to play a more active role in redefining the changing landscape for growth of SMEs, whilst taking into consideration the key issues of sustainability.

The focus of this special issue is to address key issues faced by the SMEs in the era of rapidly changing technological advancements for enhancing the sustainability of supply chains worldwide. We are keen to examine and extend our audience’s understanding of the impact of emerging technologies on SMEs for sustaining in the fast paced business. We are looking for papers that address the problems experienced in SMEs in relation to emerging innovation and technology, and how this can aid in providing better methods for the SMEs.

Sub-Theme 1: Socio-innovation perspective for SMEs

  • Knowledge management systems
  • Implementation issues
  • Design and development issues including requirements and stakeholder participation
  • Innovation in SMEs
  • HRM issues for innovation and knowledge sharing
  • SMEs and regional balnced development
  • SMEs and supply chain

Sub-theme 2: Green-innovation perspective for SMEs

  • Green practices
  • Green logistics
  • Greem manufacturing
  • Green branding
  • Green banking and finance

Sub-Theme 2: Technology perspective enabled SMEs

  • ICT in digital technology
  • Technology and its role
  • digitalisation driven innovation agendas
  • digital technology driven sustainability initiatives
  • Innovation ecosystem
  • ML, AI, IoT in business

Sub-Theme 3: Theoretical and practical perspective enabled SMEs

General Call for Papers

 

The International Journal of Technology Management & Sustainable Development (TMSD) is a peer-reviewed multidisciplinary journal dedicated to publishing high quality, original and research-based papers addressing policy issues arising from the relationship between technology and development. In its aim to respond to the growing awareness of the need to understand sustainable development in terms of its underlying dynamics, TMSD draws on a whole niche area of issues in the relationship between emerging knowledge markets, technological management and sustainable development, and seeks to promote discussion of these in the context of globalisation trends, environmental sustainability and the challenge of world poverty.

The main objectives of the journal are:

  • To provide expert and interdisciplinary insight into the technology dimension of international development;
  • To advance contemporary knowledge about the empirical and theoretical aspects of technology management and sustainable development;
  • To provide robust analyses of the problems and prospects developing countries face in their capacity building efforts to harness resources for sustainable use and achieve the overarching goals of poverty reduction and sustainable development;
  • To look into strategies for technological capability development and assess their the impact on the economy, the society and the environment, in the light of contemporary experience;
  • To offer academics, policy-makers and planners, international development agencies and representatives of business and industry and non-governmental organisations a multi-disciplinary forum for debating and exploring contemporary issues in resource management and development.

The journal's major areas of focus are:

  • Science and Technology (S&T) and Research and Development (R&D) strategies;
  • Innovation systems;
  • Issues in technology transfer;
  • Skill development, knowledge management and capacity building;
  • Socio-economic and cultural modes underlying the organisation and management of production;
  • Environmental sustainability, including climate change vulnerability, management of biodiversity, bio-safety, sustainable energy and sustainable use of natural resources;
  • Globalization trends and the implications of these for technology transfer, north-south links and sustainable development.

In both its objectives and orientation, the Journal is intended to present complex issues of development and policy in ways that are intelligible to a wide readership cutting across disciplines without, however, having to lose the rigour and weight of analysis. The journal would be of particular interest to those involved in academic research, policy making, environmental management and planning in developing countries.
