Allowing the rapid adaptation of organizations to the new effervescent demands of the market and consumers. The addition brought by this paper represents a conceptual expansion of the need to understand the possible implications of external and internal knowledge, of a rational, emotional, or spiritual nature, on the processes of development of new strategies, products, and services. There is no substantial information available in the specialized literature about the two concepts, which highlights the need to develop more qualitative and quantitative research in this direction. Using the bibliometric analysis with VOSviewer software, the paper presents a series of results that can be further developed and analyzed. The first perspective highlighted by this study is the potential of emotional, rational, and spiritual knowledge to improve relationships with consumers as a result of implementing a constant flow of communication. This fact is supported by the symbiotic relationship between the role of knowledge dynamics in encouraging the exchange of knowledge between consumers and organizations that stimulates an open, transparent communication environment focused on continuous learning. The study also emphasizes the involvement of collaboration, adaptability, and dynamic capabilities to explore how knowledge dynamics influence and stimulate innovative culture.
