Abstract

In knowledge-based societies, adapting to constantly changing economic environments pushes companies and institutions to create, co-create or acquire knowledge. The objective of this research was to investigate telework as a modern form of economic resilience in knowledge-based societies by carrying out a statistical analysis on the GDP composition in the case of the EU-27 members and then connect the results with statistical data concerning teleworking and intelligent device usage at work, based on the double dendrograms – clustered heat maps method. In this paper, the economic structure of the EU-27 members was put in the spotlight of the research, emphasizing that rapid efficient responsiveness to knowledge-driven change is one of vectors that consolidate a modern form of economic resilience. In Europe, teleworking has been continuously evolving since its emergence as a modern form of labour and economic resilience, yet it is far from reaching its full potential. Results show that the information and communication sectors from Ireland, Cyprus, Sweden and Malta favour teleworking as a form of economic resilience. This research proves the opportunity for fostering telework as an efficient instrument to enhance economic resilience.
