Foresight Trends in Smart Learning and Their Impact on Global Management Transformation
Keywords:
Digital literacy, professional development, teachers, educational managers, lifelong learning, transformational leadershipAbstract
This study aims to examine foresight trends in smart learning and analyze their impact on the transformation of global management. This research is a qualitative systematic review. Data were collected from 12 selected scholarly articles and analyzed using qualitative content analysis with NVivo 14 software. The analysis continued until theoretical saturation was achieved, and key concepts were extracted as open codes, which were then categorized into main themes and subthemes. Results indicated that artificial intelligence, adaptive learning, big data, and augmented reality enable personalized and experiential learning, enhancing the flexibility and efficiency of both learning and management processes. Smart learning also drives structural and leadership changes in organizations toward data-driven and agile management. Challenges identified include digital inequality, cultural resistance, and ethical and data security concerns. Nevertheless, opportunities were observed in managerial innovation, empowerment of future learners, and the development of global data-driven policies. The study demonstrates that smart learning and foresight not only transform teaching and learning processes but also significantly impact leadership and global management. Integrating smart technologies with forward-looking policies and ethical frameworks can facilitate the realization of learning organizations and global sustainability.
