Abstract: Abstract The aim of this research is to identify the organizational and managerial challenges faced by smart cities and hence determine research opportunities. The current research is exploratory and a documentary method was used, presenting a review of the smart cities literature found in the Internet, Thomson Reuters web of knowledge, Ebsco, Proquest, and Emerald. Findings show that to build smart cities, it is necessary to determine mechanisms to overcome the following organizational and managerial challenges: flexibility in organizational structures, development of innovative spirit, generation of business opportunities, improvement of productive capacity to provide better products and services, continuous organizational learning, change resistance, and ability to transform and innovate.
