This study aims to investigate the role of technology-enhanced learning spaces (TELS) as essential drivers of innovation within Society 5.0. It examines their design, functionality and management, highlighting their strategic importance in promoting continuous learning and organizational adaptability.
This research analyzes existing scholarly works on learning space (LS) in management literature through a systematic literature review (SLR). It emphasizes how advanced technologies transform these spaces and are used to foster innovation. The review encompasses 110 articles, resulting in the development of a conceptual framework and a practical roadmap for the design and implementation of TELS.
The study emphasizes the shift from traditional learning environments to TELS, highlighting the essential role of digital technologies in promoting innovation. It identifies five key dimensions of TELS, actors; settings; relationships and networking; organizational atmosphere culture, methods and practices; and integrated technological solutions, showing their interdependent impact on knowledge creation and learning. In addition, the research offers a structured roadmap to assist organizations in effectively designing and managing TELS.
While the SLR offers valuable insights, it is constrained by its search strategies, potential publication biases and the generalizability of findings across various contexts. Relying on existing literature may not fully capture the rapid evolution of TELS. Future research should include empirical investigations, such as case studies and action research, to validate and expand on the research findings.
This study provides a fresh perspective on TELS within a management framework, addressing gaps in the existing literature by integrating organizational, cognitive and technological dimensions. It offers original insights into how TELS can enhance innovation capacity and digital transformation strategies.
