Bibliometric analysis findings’ systematization (analysed period 2005–2016)

Analysed period	The title of the evolution stage	The main interrelations identified, and the impact produced
2005–2016	“The incipient stage: from digitization to innovation through KM”	“Digitization” as an initial evolutionary stage of the DT was first directly associated with “innovation”, establishing the orientation of the impact exerted over the processes Since “digitization” represents the preceding stage to digitalization and the inception of DT, this concept appears isolated from the KM research realms However, seeing the “knowledge-based systems” associated with “innovation”, we uncover the hidden presence of “digitalization” as an enabler of knowledge-based systems’ creation and proliferation The interrelations identified between the concepts of “knowledge-based systems” “innovation”, “knowledge management”, and “innovation management”, indicate that once “digitalization” enables the KM tools creation and the KM practices implementation, these in their turn, stimulate further innovation Building on these premises, we present the first fundamental interrelatedness developed in the period 2005–2016: digitalization–KM–innovation
