Abstract
Purpose
The study aims to advance the current state-of-the-art and identify the main theories, methodologies and research gaps. In this article, we examine the network perspective on resource interaction in management, systematically reviewing 92 published articles in peer-reviewed journals from 2013 to 2023.
Design/methodology/approach
This systematic literature review is a methodical, transparent and replicable approach to choosing and evaluating scientific works. We have analyzed and combined all the available evidence, giving a comprehensive overview of the current state of the literature.
Findings
The subject is still under development in the literature, so there are still some research gaps, such as lack of information about markets and competitiveness. The main thematic groups we found included the firm’s social media, business performance, innovation in organizations, social media and big data, network analysis and artificial intelligence.
Research limitations/implications
It is important to note that the subject is still under development in the literature, so there are still some research gaps, such as some lack of information about markets and competitiveness, the online presence of luxury brands and the impact of technology on their performance, which is not approached in the literature; some companies find it challenging to adopt new technologies; what level of technology and academic specialization is needed to measure performance; how to measure the level of credibility of information shared on the internet and the psychological impact of artificial intelligence on future generations and communication.
Practical implications
Managers can use this study to improve network strategies for better communication with diverse stakeholders and adopting new technologies, especially to enhance skills among older generations. Networks play a crucial role in fostering social capital among firms, facilitating knowledge management and improving the quality of processes. The resilience of business networks serves as a mediator between responsible innovation and a company's performance. Managers may consider expanding the use of networks to other areas of management to promote organizational collaboration and professional networking. Employees can also act as brand ambassadors for their organizations, helping to establish informal networks and increase visibility.
Originality/value
An integrative framework and a future research agenda are presented, with the potential to advance our understanding in this field.

Successful organizations respond intelligently to factors which precipitate change. Economic climates, political trends, changes in consumer demands, management policy or structure, employment levels and financial resources - all these elements are constantly at play to ensure that organizations clinging on to static structures will ultimately lose out. But change is a dynamic and alarming thing - this journal addresses how to manage it positively.
