Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Teaching paradigms in the area of economic and business studies are changing, and therefore, learning approaches developed by educators are transforming accordingly with recent developments. There are two major areas of change. Teaching is becoming more and more technology-enabled, not only based on e-learning solutions and platforms but also enhanced with the use of solutions and tools used to make the content of the courses more real-life-oriented. Solutions and tools used are business solutions (e.g., enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions and customer relationship management (CRM) solutions ), solutions from other disciplines like GIS that support spatial analysis of economic data, and tools used to implement recent gaming approaches to economic and business studies. Technology-enabled learning in business studies is closely connected with interdisciplinary competencies built among students using different solutions and tools, many of which come from other disciplines.
On the other hand, technology-enabled learning develops the digital skills of students. To achieve better results and sustainable study programs, these technologies and solutions used to have to be accepted by educators and by students on the advanced level. Moreover, such technologies also have positive environmental effects. There is a need for further understanding of innovative technology-enabled teaching approaches and best practices to facilitate higher attitudes of educators and students.
The topics of this issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Digital transformation of economic/business studies;
- E-learning approaches and technologies;
- Interdisciplinary competencies in economic/business studies;
- ERP-solution-enabled teaching;
- CRM-solution-enabled teaching;
- Spatial analysis of economic data in teaching;
- Tools and technologies for gaming approach in economic/business studies;
- Technology-enabled teaching acceptance;
- Student attitudes toward technology-enabled learning;
- Environmental aspects of e-learning and digital transformation of economic/business studies;
- Multidisciplinary approaches for sustainable study programs.
