The special issue (SI) of the journal Industrial Management & Data Systems focuses on one of the very crucial but under-developed areas in knowledge-based decision support systems (KB-DSS) for business performance improvement, namely how KB-DSS can help address sustainability and societal challenges in real business environment. Specifically, it addresses the following questions:
 
  • What are the key knowledge management support requirements and intelligent inference/reasoning/ learning capabilities of DSS in the current web-based, big data-driven, social network-supported, decision making context?
  • How can KB-DSS support and improve business performance, facilitating the setting, monitoring and achieving economic, social and environmental (green) objectives?
  • What empirical evidence is there of how KB-DSS has been applied to real decision making in different industrial environments?
