Innovation, knowledge, judgment, and decision-making as virtuous cycles

The management of information technologies facilitates knowledge creation. In the most competitive, complex, and turbulent environments, knowledge is the most important resource for firms and countries to develop. In such environments, organizations must use their knowledge to improve their competitive position. With the support of the Journal of Business Research, the 2017 Global Innovation and Knowledge Academy (GIKA) Conference is proud to announce a special issue on "Innovation, knowledge, judgment, and decision-making as virtuous cycles." This special issue comprises outstanding contributions selected from papers that were presented at the 2017 GIKA Conference, held at ISEG Lisbon School of Economics and Management, Lisbon, Portugal, from June 28 to 30, 2017. This special issue contributes to research on strategic relationships between knowledge management processes, innovation, and decision-making. The initial submissions underwent double-blind peer review, with 34 articles accepted for publication in this special issue.
