Abstract
In recent years, the rapid growth of information and communication technologies and the increasing volume of data have turned data, information, and knowledge management into a core driver of intelligent business development. This study examines the role of data, information, and knowledge management in strengthening technology innovation, with an emphasis on human and financial development, in 15 developing countries. A panel dataset covering the period 2000–2023 was compiled from international sources such as the World Bank and UNDP. The empirical analysis is based on a Panel Autoregressive Distributed Lag (P-ARDL) model, which allows for distinguishing short-run and long-run effects. The results show that improvements in data and information management have a positive and statistically significant impact on technology innovation both in the short and long run. Moreover, human and financial development reinforce this relationship, so that countries with stronger human and financial capital benefit more from data and knowledge management. These findings suggest that policymakers and managers of intelligent businesses should invest simultaneously in data-driven infrastructures and in human and financial capital to enhance innovation and productivity.
