In an era of intelligent digital transformation, organizations increasingly face the challenge of creating and sustaining value that extends beyond economic performance. This track explores how digitalization and intelligent knowledge systems can drive multi-dimensional value creation – economic, social, environmental, and cultural – across diverse organizational forms, including non-profit, public, hybrid, and mission-driven enterprises.

Across sectors, digitalization and intelligent are redefining how knowledge is created, shared, and leveraged for performance and impact (Mele et al., 2023; Agarwal et al., 2021). Yet, as organizations face growing social and environmental responsibilities, the challenge is no longer limited to how digital transformation enhances efficiency, but how it generates value beyond profit, fostering sustainable, ethical, and inclusive outcomes.

Recent studies demonstrate that digital transformation can significantly improve ESG performance, organizational transparency, and stakeholder engagement (Li et al., 2024). Intelligent knowledge systems are emerging as enablers of such transformation, supporting evidence-based decision-making and responsible innovation (Brescia et al., 2025). However, realizing this potential requires rethinking traditional value frameworks, performance metrics, and governance mechanisms (Aranyossy & Halmosi, 2024).

In parallel, the non-profit and hybrid sectors are experiencing their own wave of digital transformation, driven by the need to enhance mission impact, accountability, and knowledge sharing (Cipriano & Za, 2024). These organizations demonstrate that digital knowledge ecosystems can empower communities, amplify social value, and enable new forms of co-creation across business, government, and civil society (Álvarez-González et al., 2023).

We invite conceptual, empirical, and practice-oriented contributions examining how AI, data, and digital knowledge ecosystems can foster value creation, while ensuring ethical responsibility, inclusiveness, and human-centered design. The track also encourages studies that rethink value measurement frameworks, hybrid business models, and governance mechanisms to capture value in digital contexts.

Possible topics might include:

• Digital transformation strategies for non-profit and hybrid organizations
• Intelligent knowledge systems and multi-dimensional (economic/social/environmental) value creation
• Knowledge management for ESG and SDG-driven innovation
• AI and data-driven tools for societal impact measurement and reporting
• The role of human–AI collaboration in value creation beyond profit
• Knowledge ecosystems that connect business, public, and civil society actors
• Governance, ethics, and legitimacy in digital value creation processes
• Digital platforms for inclusive knowledge sharing and community co-creation
• Case studies of digital innovation in non-profit, public, hybrid, and mission-driven enterprises
