Through theoretical studies, this book explains the foundational concepts of ecocentrism, knowledge management, and sustainability and advances the understanding of how eco-centric paradigms can be leverage for the process of knowledge management and knowledge creation, showcasing various applications of this practice and illustrating advantages and disadvantages of adopting an eco-centric approach. With a focus on the three themes of sustainability, knowledge management and ecocentrism, this edited volume presents practical case studies from various organizational contexts, illustrating how sustainability-related practices make use of knowledge management to meet their business objectives from an ecocentric perspective and highlighting the transversal application of this approach to various types of contexts. The book also addresses cases on how post-industrial organizations of the 21st century are using knowledge management in advancing the sustainable development goals with reflections of ecocentrism. There is practical, theoretical, and methodological content, making this valuable to researchers, academics, and advanced students in the fields of knowledge management, sustainability, organizational studies, and strategic management.

Based on the importance of human being as creator and manager of knowledge towards the achievement of sustainability in the current digital age, this book is an effort to expose many studies taking the individuals as centers of knowledge and starting points for environmental, social and economic development.
