Under the circumstances of rapidly growing globalization and social sustainability deve‑ lopment, the importance of human capital in the context of economic growth is constantly growing. Human capital development and adequate employment development require the acquisition of new knowledge and the use of innovation and knowledge in regular activities. The targeted integration of knowledge, innovation and technologies becomes an essential tool in solutions of country‘s employment problems. The currently available studies lack employment sustainability quantitative measures organized into a  susta‑ inability component, as well as their expressions, so the objective of this article is to reveal the importance of knowledge, innovation and technology cluster for employment growth. In order to achieve this objective, the concept of intelligent specialization and a new cluster of knowledge, innovation and technologies have been introduced to promote efficient solutions to employment problems and to lead to positive changes in the labour market, expanding employment growth. The following methods of research were used in this article: analysis of scientific literature, theoretical and practical statements matching method, statistical analysis.

Abstract The 2018 Global Conference on Economic Geography in Cologne provides the occasion to take stock of research achievements especially of German geographers in selected fields. This paper reviews, based on a broad range of academic milestone publications, how German scholars have moved forward research frontiers in the field of knowledge, innovation and technology geographies. Which marks did this country’s economic geographers leave on the advancement of conceptual ideas, yet which topics were neglected? And how have they engaged in producing convincing empirical evidence for conceptualized developments? In which ways have German researchers ventured towards informing and supporting effective policies of innovation oriented regional or national development? Conclusively, which qualities can be discerned that specifically mark a ‘German’ approach towards economic geography research on knowledge, innovation and new technologies, telling about strengths and weaknesses with respect to being noticed internationally? Exploring these questions, the paper offers a structured review of exemplary works published in German or English language and points out some distinctive nation-specific features and topical achievements of economic geography research.

Current scientific literature aims for adequate understanding of the process for integration of knowledge, innovation and technology in various areas of human activity. This would materialise the hope that integrated knowledge, innovation and technology clusters could become a full-fledged resource in responding to the current and future local and global challenges of sustainable development.


The initial intention of this descriptive analysis is to confine closer encounter regarding the potential impact of supporting management discipline on R&D in public organization among developing countries. In this, context prior theories on R&D in Public organizations draw some conceptual models with limited narratives on how to manage supporting management discipline. Some prior studies draw capabilities prospective related to knowledge, innovation and technology management as supporting management discipline that shares their boundaries with R&D under individual context. Based on their relationship this study developed a conceptual framework to draw significance of supporting management discipline on R&D that has been long been striving to convene capability prospective among developing countries. The author analysis based on R&D fit to the context of public organization and portrays case of Pakistan under Focus Group Discussion. The experts from 81 R&D of public organizations were involved; where 195 participants are, compose into 41 Focus Groups. The outcome of Focus Group Discussion shows that process, infrastructure and strategic are consider as potential criteria’s that draw relationship among capabilities related knowledge, innovation and technology management disciplines.

The link between knowledge, innovation, and technology, as understood in extant literature, tends to emphasize a digital, high-tech platform for the implementation of innovative ideas. This paper challenges this view and details why relying solely on digital platforms and innovation may not let companies reach their full potential. Using examples of frugal innovation, this paper recommends that entrepreneurs need not limit their ideas by focusing only on digital and technology-driven innovation, and to consider the infrastructure realities of the developing economies.

In the new Millennium Italian universities have lived many changes deeply reshaping academic institutions. A relevant aspect was the more and more significant need to answer  the demand of society and respond the social pressure to accountability through the transfer of knowledge, innovation and technology to economy. It led to an extension of the so-called university Fourth Mission, an instrument dedicated to create spin-offs to share scientific research results with society. The paper investigates the present reality of university spin-offs in Italy by considering their growing number also in the light of their role ofinstrument for academic job substitution. In particular, a tool to respond to the current condition of young Italian academic researchers increasingly affected by job offer reduction due to budget constraints, consequent university policies and new management issues.

A supporting management discipline is an under researched phenomenon. A majority of firms’ operating capabilities relating to knowledge, innovation and technology management as a supporting management discipline. This paper reviews the literature in the research and development (R&D) domain to formulate and propose a conceptual model which is influenced by capabilities relating to knowledge, innovation and technology management. We performed a systematic literature review in which a range of articles were searched related to R&D, from 1990 to 2018. Our review is presented in two parts. The first part presents a descriptive analysis using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systemic View and Mata Analysis (PRISMA)protocol and the second part develop proposition based on keywords analysis. The review revealed that there are nine capabilities that contribute to influence on R&D based on three dimensions known as knowledge, innovation and technology management which correspond to some of the key resources that used to drive these capabilities. Finally, this work proposes a conceptual model based on the outcome of Systematic Literature Review (SLR) interpretation. This research may support current trends on the literature. The list of references may be considered a potential source for future research in this area.
