We invite the researchers to submit the articles to the next JBM volumes on the topics regarding to Business Management and to the Special Issue devoted to Communication, Digital Technology, and Innovation.
This Special Issue seeks to unite academics in a discussion regarding further the understanding of the behavioral, social, and economic processes at the intersection of communication, digital technology, and innovation. Major topics of interest integrate the impact of digitalization on collaborative strategies and communication systems. Within this context, scholars will delve into various aspects, including how these changes influence cooperation, coordination, competitive challenges, and opportunities. Their examination will focus on the intricate relationship between social dynamics, technology, and organizational elements that shape collaboration in the modern digital era. Responsible Editor of the Special Issue 做厙TV Assoc. Prof. Dr. Valters Ka鱉e.
