“…Paradigms such as the knowledge-based economy (KBE) have been used to guide future development. However, the practical focus in the interpretation of this paradigm in the GCC region is to encourage economic sectors with a high added value (hence economic diversification and entrepreneurship) through investing in education in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields (S. Aldulaimi et al, 2020;Kayan-Fadlelmula et al, 2022). With environmental awareness arguably low and consumption footprints relatively high, EDS can play an important role for a sustainable future in the region beyond any economization considerations.…”

The agenda of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a key international outcome for guiding development efforts of nation states. However, SDG targets cover vast areas of action, and they are difficult to break down and monitor for countries with different developmental situations and needs. Often, global rankings of countries’ compliance with the SDG agenda are plagued with false signals and methodological limitations. This paper presents a much-needed prioritization of the SDG targets for the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. It maps SDG targets and outlines priorities and key areas for environmental action. Sustainability in resource use, consumption and production constitutes a primary area for investments. Education and awareness represent cross-cutting priorities and low-hanging fruit for action. Tackling climate change and emerging supply risks and the management of ecosystems represent an action area in which GCC governments can intensify their interventions. As a supporting policy, regional environmental cooperation is important for enhanced commitments and tackling transboundary aspects of the SDG agenda. The analysis of the SDG agenda in the GCC regions reiterates the importance of countries engaging with global sustainability framings in order work out their own interpretations in congruence with national development realities. Such an SDG regional mapping exercise also assists national-level planners or regional bodies working on development issues in shaping the Gulf region’s engagement with the global sustainability agenda and tracking progress on key SDG priorities.

“…As a result, KBSs improve business competitiveness by generating multidisciplinary approaches that combine context, corporate structure, strategies, links with other organizations, and impact on areas of influence (Lafuente, Vaillant & Vendrell-Herrero, 2019). Aldulaimi, Kharabsheh, Al shishany and Alazzawi (2020) and Amirat and Zaidi (2020) highlight the importance of human talent training for economic development and wealth creation based on the generation and implementation of knowledges and skills in different economic sectors.Another common topic in the documents reviewed here is Knowledge Management (KM). Evidently, KM is important for the consolidation of countries' economies in the global economic context and that of KBEs (Gharamah, Noordin, Ali & Brohi, 2018).…”

In recent years, the Knowledge-Based Economy (KBE) has been an emergent field related to Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). In current business models, organizations need to be part of the digital transformation and create value for customers, which has caused an increase in the number of scientific publications on the KBE. This study aims to analyze the research trends of the scientific literature on the KBE published between 1986 and 2021.Design/methodology: A bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Scopus database. The results were analyzed based on quantity, impact, and structure indicators and topics. In addition, this paper proposes a research agenda for future studies in this field. Findings:The study of the KBE has attracted the interest of the scientific community, especially in 2006, 2010, and 2011. This literature review shows that developed countries (e.g., Poland, Romania, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Germany) have researched this field the most. Terms such as knowledge-based systems, knowledge management, and information management have become more common in the literature and are setting trends. These terms refer to essential components for the advancement of the KBE as an approach that can dynamize the economic development of organizations and countries.Originality/value: This study contributes to the literature because it analyzes the theoretical evolution of the KBE field. In addition, it proposes an agenda for future studies to advance the research fields related to the Triple Helix model of innovation in developing countries
