Abstract

This editorial article presents a critical and integrative reflection on five thematic axes central to current debates on organizational transformation, sustainability, and territorial innovation. From a human-centered and applied perspective, it analyzes recent contributions regarding the ethical use of artificial intelligence, algorithmic governance, circular sustainability models, strategic knowledge management in SMEs, and the role of territorial intelligence in public policy design. Rather than a thematic summary, it offers an articulated interpretation of emerging trends that suggest sustainable development depends on the convergence of human capabilities, meaningful technologies, and context-sensitive institutional decisions. The article advocates for a science of responsible transformation grounded in ethics, territory, and collective action.
