The first issue of Izzivi managementu this year features four research and professional articles and one reflective essay, offering insights into current challenges in management, leadership, and sustainable development in today’s business environment. Readers will discover how key digital technologies—from artificial intelligence and big data to the Internet of Things—are transforming crisis management and how organizations can effectively integrate these technologies to respond more quickly and manage crises more successfully. The issue also explores the role of the Project Management Office (PMO) in addressing financial crises, with the author providing practical guidance for more effective risk, cost, and cash flow management.
A significant part of the issue is dedicated to organizational and human development. An article on fostering high-quality connections in higher education emphasizes that strong interpersonal relationships, psychological safety, and positive resonance remain essential even in the era of large language models. It also offers a practical framework for strengthening collaboration and interpersonal skills. Readers will also learn how a sustainability-oriented Balanced Scorecard can help organizations better align economic, social, and environmental objectives while embedding sustainability into both strategic and operational management.
The issue concludes with a reflection based on an interview with Adam Grant, highlighting the importance of patiently developing human potential, fostering psychological safety, cultivating a sense of belonging, and embracing lifelong learning. His message that “growing more slowly means growing more sustainably” offers valuable food for thought on the role of individuals and organizations in an era of rapid technological change. Overall, the new issue brings together scientific insights, practical guidance, and inspiring perspectives that will benefit researchers, managers, leaders, and everyone committed to shaping the future of modern management.
