  • Leveraging disruptive technologies in public administration to achieve sustainable development [Elektronski vir] : a bibliometric approach
    Umek, Lan, 1981- ...
    Recent globalization and digitalization trends, which the Covid-19 pandemic has further emphasized, have revealed the existing digital deficiencies and emphasized the importance of leveraging ... digitalization and disruptive technologies in public administration to improve the economy, society and the environment. Accordingly, the main aim of the paper is to fill this research gap by examining the potential of disruptive technologies to achieve sustainable development. The results of bibliometric analysis on 4962 documents from Scopus reveal the following. Considering the distribution of documents in disruptive technologies, most documents are related to artificial intelligence, followed by the internet of things, social media and blockchain, while the distribution of documents in sustainable development pillars reveals that most documents are related to the social, followed by the economic and the environmental pillar. Most research has been conducted in the United States, followed by the United Kingdom and China. While the United States and the United Kingdom seem to be more focused on social media research, China is more focused on artificial intelligence research with the United States and China highlighting the socio-economic and environmental pillar, respectively. Moreover, the most productive sources are Sustainability, Sustainable Cities and Society (espacielly in research on internet of things and artificial intelligence) and Government Information Quarterly (especially in social media research). While Sustainability is more oriented toward the environmental pillar, Sustainable Cities and Society and Government Information Quarterly are more toward the social pillar. Furthermore, the most prominent authors are mostly focused on artificial intelligence, social media, blockchain and on a combination of social media and blockchan and artificial intelligence and virtual and augmented reality, whereby the social pillar of sustainable development seems to be preferred among them. Finally, ther results reveal that most of the sustainable development goals can be supported by public administration through artificial intelligence and social media. The findings will be beneficial not only for the scientific community but also for evidence-based policymaking to leverage disruptive technologies in public administration to achieve sustainable development.
