Digitalization, knowledge sharing and higher education for sustainable development

Abstract

This academic paper focuses on digitalization and higher education for sustainable development (HESD). A systemic review of 67 articles published in Web of Science (WOS) in the past decade was undertaken. The articles were chosen because of their relevance to this era of digitalization and the role of higher education in promoting knowledge sharing with respect to sustainable development. The analysis used six categories: journals, publication year, research design, industry sectors, topics, and opportunities and challenges. However, there is lack in exploring the recent trends, possible application industries and the essence of HESD in the context of digitalization and knowledge sharing in different regions of the world. The main aim of this article is to report on a meta-analysis consisting of a systematic review of the available literature related to digitalization and knowledge sharing. The study revealed that current research on sustainable development lack mathematical models and empirical tools.
