Organizations worldwide are increasingly operating under conditions of political uncertainty, technological disruption, financial constraints, and institutional limitations. Many businesses and social enterprises function in underdeveloped regions, rural communities, geographically isolated areas, conflict zones, and resource-constrained environments where access to technology, skilled labour, and institutional support remains limited.

This Special Issue explores how Knowledge Management (KM) can enable organizations to innovate, remain resilient, and strengthen organizational learning despite these constraints. It aims to advance context-sensitive research that examines the mechanisms and capabilities through which knowledge management supports organizational development and competitiveness in underrepresented and resource-scarce settings.

The issue welcomes conceptual, empirical, comparative, and methodological contributions that generate theoretical and practical insights into the role of KM in constrained environments.

𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁

Submissions may address, but are not limited to:

• Knowledge management as an enabler of organizational performance under resource scarcity
• Knowledge risk management in internally and externally constrained environments
• Knowledge management in SMEs, family businesses, informal organizations, low-technology firms, social enterprises, and geographically isolated regions
• Organizational learning processes in contexts characterized by institutional and resource limitations
• The role of KM in strengthening organizational resilience during crises and disruptions
• Necessary conditions and bottlenecks for organizational development empowered by KM
• The interplay between artificial intelligence and knowledge management in overcoming organizational constraints
• Institutional ecosystems and inter-organizational networks that enhance KM effectiveness
• Novel methodological approaches for studying KM in constrained and underrepresented contexts
• Innovation capabilities and knowledge-based strategies in resource-limited environments
• Dynamic capabilities and knowledge-based views of organizational development
