1 Introduction
Technology management plays a pivotal role in guiding the strategic and tactical
use of technology within organizations [16]. It involves selecting appropriate tech-
nologies, deploying them in product development, and incorporating these advance-
ments into organizational workflows to boost productivity and competitiveness in
the market [714]. The importance of technology management is immense, partic-
ularly as it shapes competitive edges in today’s rapidly evolving global market
[1525]. This discipline supports digital transformation, which is crucial in sectors
like banking, where it can significantly enhance operational efficiency and customer
service [2625].
Additionally, technology management intersects with knowledge management,
enhancing innovation, especially in emerging markets [2635]. This blending of
fields is a strategic approach to drive innovation. Moreover, there is a growing appre-
ciation for how technology management and intellectual capital contribute to innova-
tive output in knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS) [3644]. Entrepreneurs,
especially those in social enterprises, must leverage technology management to
strengthen their ventures and achieve sustainability and broader community goals
[4554].
Technology management involves strategically overseeing and directing tech-
nology systems, innovations, and capabilities within an organization [5561]. This
discipline encompasses activities such as identifying technological opportunities,
effectively utilizing technological assets and aligning technology initiatives with
the organization’s strategic and operational goals [62-80]. At its core, technology
management bridges the gap between technological advancements and business
strategy to secure a sustained competitive advantage. Its multifaceted nature inte-
grates multiple functions including research and development (R&D), innovation
management, and information systems management, making it essential for modern
business administration [8173].
Analyzing the Scientific Terrain of Technology Management 491
Technology management is crucial in shaping various dimensions of organiza-
tional performance, including sustainability and innovation [7476]. By effectively
managing technology, organizations can leverage technological advancements to
secure a sustainable competitive edge in today’s fast-evolving markets [7787]. A
significant advantage of technology management is its contribution to organizational
sustainability [8893]. Additionally, it is instrumental in fostering an innovative
culture, creating an environment where technological capabilities are consistently
evaluated and aligned with market demands and organizational objectives [94100].
Accordingly, the role of technology management in organizations extends to
enhancing sustainability, promoting innovation, supporting social entrepreneurial
ventures, and strategically positioning emerging firms. Its impact is vital for achieving
immediate business goals and ensuring long-term success and competitiveness in
the industry [101,102]. Therefore, conducting a bibliometric review on technology
management is crucial due to its significant role in guiding strategic and tactical tech-
nology use within organizations. Such a review offers valuable insights into the evolu-
tion and trends in technology management, highlighting how practices have adapted
to changing technological and market demands. This helps in understanding the
historical and current strategic approaches to maintaining competitiveness. Overall,
a bibliometric review in technology management is crucial for academics, industry
professionals, and policymakers to grasp the breadth and depth of the field, assess its
impact on practical and strategic levels, and identify future research and application
opportunities in the dynamic landscape of global markets. Accordingly, this review
aims to:
1. To identify trends in academic interest related to technology management.
2. To highlight the countries and institutions that lead in technology management
research.
3. To identify leading institutions in technology management research.
4. To explore the interdisciplinary nature of technology management research by
analyzing contributions from various academic disciplines.
5. To pinpoint the most frequently mentioned keywords within technology manage-
ment research.

Sustainability in food supply chains is a critical global challenge, particularly in resource-constrained regions like Jordan, where operational inefficiencies and environmental concerns are prevalent. This study explores the integration of blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to enhance metadata management, forecast sustainability metrics, and support decision-making in Jordan’s food supply chains. Blockchain's ability to improve metadata accuracy, standardization, and traceability, combined with AI’s predictive capabilities, offers a powerful solution for addressing sustainability challenges.Methods The research employed a mixed-methods approach, combining real-time data from blockchain transaction logs, AI-generated forecasts, and stakeholder surveys. Blockchain data from platforms like Hyperledger Fabric and Ethereum provided insights into metadata accuracy and traceability. AI models were developed using machine learning techniques, such as linear regression, to forecast food waste reduction, carbon footprint reduction, and energy efficiency. Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA), using AHP and TOPSIS, was applied to evaluate trade-offs among sustainability goals.ResultsThe results revealed significant improvements in metadata accuracy (from 83% to 96.66%) and reductions in traceability time (from 4.0 to 2.35 hours) following blockchain implementation. AI models demonstrated high predictive accuracy, explaining 88%, 81%, and 76% of the variance in food waste reduction, carbon footprint reduction, and energy efficiency, respectively.

IntroductionBig data analytics and machine learning have transformed digital marketing by enabling data-driven insights for personalization. This study investigates the role of engagement metrics, sentiment analysis, and consumer segmentation in enhancing marketing effectiveness. Specifically, it examines how these technologies process consumer interaction data to uncover actionable insights, segment audiences, and drive purchase conversions.Method The study employed a mixed-methods approach, integrating big data analytics and machine learning techniques. Descriptive statistics highlighted engagement patterns, while k-means clustering segmented consumers based on behavioural and emotional data. Sentiment analysis, conducted using Natural Language Processing (NLP), captured consumer emotions as positive, neutral, or negative. Regression analysis evaluated the influence of social media activity, click-through rates, session duration, and sentiment scores on purchase conversion rates.ResultsDescriptive analysis revealed significant variability in consumer engagement and sentiment, with 37.5% of consumers expressing positive sentiment. Clustering identified three distinct consumer segments, reflecting differences in engagement and sentiment. Regression analysis showed that sentiment had a positive but statistically insignificant relationship with purchase conversions, while other metrics, such as click-through rates and session duration, exhibited minimal impact. The overall explanatory power of the regression model was low (R-squared = 0.001), indicating the need for additional factors to understand purchase behaviour.Conclusion The findings emphasize the potential of big data analytics and machine learning in consumer segmentation and sentiment analysis. However, their direct impact on purchase conversion is limited without integrating broader variables. A holistic, adaptive framework combining behavioural, emotional, and contextual insights is essential for maximizing marketing personalization and driving outcomes in dynamic digital environments.

Introduction: Employee attrition poses significant challenges for organizations, impacting productivity and profitability. This study explores attrition patterns using machine learning models, integrating predictive analytics with established human resource theories to identify key drivers of workforce turnover. Methods: The research analysed a dataset comprising demographic, job-related, and engagement factors. Logistic Regression was employed as the baseline model to interpret linear relationships, while Random Forest and Decision Trees captured non-linear interactions. Performance metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and AUC-ROC were used to evaluate model effectiveness, alongside feature importance analysis for actionable insights. Results: Results revealed that job satisfaction, tenure, departmental dynamics, and engagement levels are critical predictors of attrition. Random Forest emerged as the most effective model, achieving an accuracy of 92% and an AUC-ROC of 94%, highlighting its capability to capture complex patterns. Decision Trees provided interpretable decision rules, offering practical thresholds for HR interventions. Logistic Regression complemented these models by offering insights into direct, linear relationships between predictors and attrition. Conclusion: The study finds that machine learning improves attrition analysis by identifying complex patterns and enabling proactive retention strategies. Predictive analytics strengthens traditional theories, providing a structured approach to reducing employee turnover. Organizations can use these insights to enhance workforce stability and performance. Future research could incorporate qualitative methods and longitudinal studies to refine strategies and assess long-term impacts.
