Society 5.0 points toward a human-centred approach by the use of modern, advanced technologies and artificial intelligence. This book explores and offers an overview of knowledge management embraced in the current scenario of Society 5.0, shedding light on its importance in a society that is increasingly digital and interconnected. The book enhances current managerial and economic research by offering the “human” side of knowledge management (KM) intertwined with the use of artificial intelligences (AIs). Each chapter explores KM from different perspectives, including entrepreneurship, innovation, marketing, and strategy, in a theoretical and practical way. They include insights from both practitioners and scholars, enriched by practical tools that can be used during laboratories, workshops and tutorials. The book presents evidence on how to manage KM and develop new knowledge in different subjects, with the aim of overcoming conventional KM strategy and show how business and society are connected with “power of subjective human knowledge creation”. Offering both new insights, research and practical guidance, this book will appeal to academics and students of knowledge management as well as digital transformation practitioners looking for ways to transition their organizations from knowledge economy to digital economy.

This book discusses the emerging phenomenon of digital social entrepreneurship, which relies on the use and embracement of new technologies, and investigates the social implications and value for people, profit, and planet.The authors examine the use of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, metaverse, and augmented reality to understand the evolution of social entrepreneurialism, considering three layers: micro, meso, and macro. The micro layer analyses digital social entrepreneurs’ attitude in generating new digital social innovation for disadvantaged people; the meso layer explores the combination of digital and social initiatives in an entrepreneurial journey to improve inclusiveness and sustainability; and the macro layer investigates the impact of exogenous events on Digital Social Entrepreneurship (DSE) to scaling such ventures, also offering an overview of disadvantaged entrepreneurs.Offering new insights, research, and practical guidance, this book will appeal in particular to scholars and post graduate students of entrepreneurship and small business management, organisational studies, technology, and innovation management.

This book the improvements in the circular economy are discussed, and a multidisciplinary approach is taken to examine developments in the recovery of value in CSCM. This book's main goal is to give readers a platform on which to discuss the role of human resources in effective supply chain management in a circular economy and how it may be used. CSCM is a new way of conducting business that offers a waste-free and sustainable substitute to the economy. The concept of CSCM is often incomplete if the human capital aspect of it is not covered. Human resources" or "human capital" represents a person's skills, talents, qualifications, and experiences. Thus, it is inconceivable that the shift to a circular economy would be successful without a new strategy for managing human resources. The COVID-19 epidemic has heightened and realigned the value of human capital inside organizations, whether it is through remote work policies, greater attention to employee health benefits, staff morale, or well-being concerns. It has provided HR professionals with the ability to reevaluate their interactions with employees and has made room for innovative working methods. To end the loop of the linear economic model, sustainability and sustainable improvements are prioritized internationally in all facets of organizations. The book offers the latest deveopments of Circular Supply Chain Management and its applications. It describes the role of human resources in regulating supply chains in the circular economy. The "take-make-waste" economic model in CSCM is encouraging us to rebuild better HR and entrepreneurial policies, which will be vital in building a stronger and more resilient company culture that maintains the value of all resources and is required to get through these trying times. To achieve this goal currently there exists a gap between the present skill sets and the skills required in future to generate new innovation and/or set a new business. In turn, this would request Continuous investment in employees’ development and training. Alongside, it involves a great attention on how humans are generating new innovations throughout the whole supply chain. At the moment, there is a focus on technologies and less consideration on humans in the field of supply chain management. Again, sustainability seems to be the new core of a company and its circulatory calls for a variety of human skills. In this scenario , the book's ultimate proposal is to give a research viewpoint that included views from policymakers, regulators, and practitioners. The book aims to address the significance of humanizing CSCM and also invites case studies on the topic.This book will meet the demands of research researchers, graduate students, and undergraduate students. Also, it will serve as reference information for academics, researchers, and industry professionals.
