Strategic management frameworks for technological integration in smart city ecosystems

Abstract

This research article deeply analyzes the critical role of senior management in bridging the gap between strategic planning and the practical implementation of advanced technologies within smart city development. As urban territories evolve into complex digital ecosystems, the role of high-level administration shifts from traditional governance to technological orchestration. The paper identifies fundamental managerial barriers—such as departmental silos and legacy hierarchies—that hinder the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data analytics into spatial planning. By proposing a multi-dimensional strategic integration model, the study provides a roadmap for senior executives to align organizational structures with technological capabilities. The analysis emphasizes that while technology provides the infrastructure, adaptive strategic management is the true driver of sustainable spatial transformation and ESG development.В данной исследовательской статье глубоко анализируется критическая рол
