Abstract
Information Technologies (IT) and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have been pivotal in driving global transformations over the past few decades. The advent of the World Wide Web has revolutionized access to information and educational resources, providing a scope of knowledge acquisition that was inconceivable just a few decades ago. In recent years, web-based applications such as social networking platforms, collaborative virtual environments, blogs, and spaces for publishing creative content have become integral to both personal and professional domains. This rapid evolution has led to a growing disconnect between the external world, where knowledge production, dissemination, and learning are dynamically reshaped, and traditional educational institutions, including schools, universities, and research centers, which have been slower to integrate these changes.
The integration of ICT in teaching, learning, and research has made significant progress, particularly with the growing adoption of diverse web-based tools. However, to keep pace with this rapidly evolving knowledge landscape, researchers and educators must adapt to new methods of knowledge creation, distribution, and application. Understanding and navigating today’s complex, fast-changing knowledge base is crucial in remaining relevant in fields such as education, commerce, and management.
This article seeks to explore the role of ICT in enhancing knowledge acquisition and facilitating resource development, specifically within the domains of commerce and management. It examines how ICT tools have reshaped the ways in which researchers and professionals access, gather, and utilize information, and highlights the necessity of embracing these technologies to stay competitive and innovative in an increasingly digital and interconnected world.
