Knowledge management (KM) has been gradually established as a strong methodology to support business viability, competitiveness and growth; however, the lack of maturity is obvious, as evidenced by divergent points of view in critical sub‐domains of the related theory and practice, such as the spectrum of processes and the clusters of tactics scheduled to underpin them. The systems thinking logic, the discipline for seeing structures underlying complex phenomena, is perceived as a promising direction for consolidating the various approaches and developing a holistic KM paradigm. Through the integration of the fragmented landscape of knowledge management on a transparent and concrete framework based on cause‐effect relationships, not only the underlying theoretical assumptions are clarified and subjected to further analysis at a strategic level, but also practical issues concerning planning and decision making become less complicated, increasing effectiveness.

Information Systems, Sustainable Development and Hotel Branding are the main study areas of this specific research. In recent years, many technologies have been which have started to be implemented in the hospitality industry, but the full potential of these technologies has not yet been analyzed in order to understand how they could help companies to develop branding strategies and increase the customer’s loyalty and business performance. Moreover, due to the pandemic crisis due to COVID-19, hotel companies have to manage a new crisis, which affects both the economic and social pillars of their sustainable development. Therefore, the hospitality industry must be more flexible in adopting information technologies and sustainable philosophies, firstly for their own survival and secondly to strengthen their position inside the task environment. The methodology approach was based both on the literature review and qualitative methodology, which was conducted through questionnaires. The aim of this research is to analyze the above concepts and see how this combination could lead the hotel companies to develop a competitive advantage inside their task environment. The findings of this research concern the region of Greece. They reveal that there is a strong correlation among the above concepts, and each company should start to adopt sustainable philosophy, use information technologies, and develop new branding strategies.

Entrepreneurship is now suggested as a competence not only for starting new businesses but for employability and well-being as well. Envisaged as a career option, entrepreneurship is now a new concern in the field of career counseling psychology. Traditionally, entrepreneurship is about starting new businesses or being self-employed, but nowadays, it is also considered a competence for employability and well-being. Systematically nurtured in educational settings for more than two decades, the entrepreneurial intention of students has become a specific construct for educators to assess the impact of entrepreneurial courses. The present article seeks to critically review the psychological constructs, models, and approaches that have been used in educational settings to explain the formation of entrepreneurial intention. The majority of relevant studies has been found to be quantitative, reproducing in a positivist manner the construct of self-efficacy and the theory of reasoned action. Some constructs and approaches that have been extensively used in the career counseling discipline seem to be under-researched in the entrepreneurship education field. In this line of research, the potential contribution of sources on self-efficacy and dysfunctional career beliefs or motives should be examined. Additionally, theoretical paradigms like constructionist-narrative-based career counseling or positive psychology and other newer theories (e.g., happenstance learning theory) might be useful in investigating several influences on career decision making for entrepreneurship. Based on the current findings from the literature, a research agenda is proposed for future research in the field in order to achieve better connections between entrepreneurship and career theories and to shed light on the complex process of students’ entrepreneurial career decisions.

Tourism planning in port cities faces the dual challenge of maximizing economic benefits while mitigating environmental and social pressures. This study examines the case of Piraeus, Greece, by integrating insights from both visitors and residents to explore how stakeholder perceptions can inform sustainable and resilient destination planning. Drawing on primary data collected through large-scale surveys of visitors and local residents, the analysis applies a multidimensional framework to assess economic, environmental, and social impacts of tourism. Findings reveal strong visitor spending and cultural engagement alongside concerns about infrastructure, pollution, and service quality. Residents acknowledge job creation and business activity but emphasize rising living costs, overcrowding, and limited inclusion in tourism governance. By bridging these perspectives, this study highlights the importance of multiple-stakeholder analysis for integrated tourism planning and proposes governance strategies to enhance sustainability and resilience in port destinations such as Piraeus.

The primary study areas of this research are Information Systems, Sustainable Development and Hospitality Industry. During the last few years, many surveys have examined the connection of the above concepts and how they could lead to business performance, aiming for a competitive advantage and economies of scale. There is a gap in the international literature review regarding the above meanings and the business value. So, the main goal of this research is to find this gap and propose a conceptual framework for future research. The methodology used in this paper is based on a literature review, which tries to find the gap in the international literature and understand the concepts under examination. The main finding of this research is the development of a conceptual framework, which explains how the sustainability and the resources of Information Technology could lead to the creation of business value. Finally, hotel managers and companies could benefit from this added value and strengthen their position inside their task environment.
