Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global economy continues to expand and to become more interconnected, thereby creating business opportunities in new markets, as well as challenges related to global competition and market volatility. Digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, data analytics, blockchain and the Internet of Things (IoT) are having a significant impact on how businesses are run and how the economy evolves as a whole. These technologies offer opportunities for improved operational efficiency, increased productivity and innovation in products and services. Moreover, in this context, sustainability is an increasingly accepted development model for organizations in various sectors. In the context of contemporary society, digital transformation contributes to ensuring the sustainability and resilience of organizations. In an ever-changing economic environment, innovation and adaptability are essential for business success. Companies need to be agile in their response to new trends and to be prepared to adjust their business models in line with market changes. A major trend in business management is the shift from a traditional hierarchical and rigid model to one that is more flexible, collaborative and innovation-oriented. Agile business management models reflect a move towards a more flexible approach, which is geared towards innovation, adaptability and meeting the needs of customers and employees.
This Special Issue encourages researchers to make their contribution to highlighting the role of business management in helping organizations achieve the transformations that are needed to become sustainable and to also continuously improve sustainability in the future. Conceptual, theoretical and empirical contributions from the social sciences are welcome, as are original research articles and reviews. Research areas may include (but they are not limited to) the following:
- Government policy and business management;
- The unofficial economy and economic development;
- Digital transformation of business;
