Integrate Artificial Intelligence into Teaching
Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer science fiction. It is so close to our daily life that there is even existing legislation and norming like in an ISO standard. But despite these developments, AI has barely entered the consciousness of ordinary users of IT. In an academic context, the importance of AI is well recognized and there are notable efforts to integrate AI into teaching and development of teaching, for example, in curricular development or even to pass an exam.

Determinants of the Performance of Countries’ Innovation Ecosystems
The pandemic marked the beginning of a succession of events on a global scale (not the least of which is a greater concern for the environment and for quality of life/distance work) with a major impact on the economy. Innovation plays a key role in meeting the challenges of the future, but despite investment in innovation, global economic growth has fallen short of the expected performance. it is important to note that innovations depend to a large extent on a suitable market environment (i.e., one conducive to innovation) and that improving a country’s capacity for innovation improves companies’ capacity for innovation. It is, therefore, essential to understand which factors most influence innovation performance, with the aim of directing policies and investment towards the areas with the greatest impact on results.

Linking Informative and Factual CSR Communication to Reputation
The way corporate social responsibility (CSR) communication relates to corporate reputation has attracted an increasing amount of attention from communication and business researchers and practitioners.

Inter-Professional Communication in Complex IT Project Teams
Organizational IT projects are becoming more complex, not only because of the time-to-market pressure and increased complexity of the specific IT problems they have to solve, but also because of the diversity of their team members. Besides cultural (language) diversity in the global context, there are two additional types of diversity: diversity of organization management (linked to project versus organization tensions), which is common to all organizational projects, and the professional diversity in particular, proper to IT projects. Amid all advantages of varied standpoints, the diversity might come with seeds of misunderstandings in communication, tensions, and even latent conflicts, which (if not timely and properly addressed) may lead to escalating conflicts.

System Dynamics-Based Interactive Learning Environment for Formative (Self-)Assessment
An online system dynamics-based interactive learning environment (ILE) can be designed to assess the trainees' capabilities, in accordance with the formative assessment paradigm. Through a simulated business environment, trainees have the opportunity to virtually manage their own company (system) while taking on various roles that mirror real-life scenarios related to the phenomenon analyzed by the ILE. The ILE has a feature that allows the assessment of such capabilities by measuring key indicators that determine the feasibility, effectiveness, and efficiency of their decision-making when running a firm within a specific operational context. From this standpoint, implementing a practical approach that enables trainees to confidently evaluate their capabilities in a protected environment (simulations) would produce the following different benefits for them: a) Personalized Learning: Interactive learning environments can adapt to suit trainees' individual learning styles, making the learning experience more personalized and effective; b) Interactive Learning Experience: Interactive learning environments offer learners the opportunity to engage actively in the learning process, facilitating better retention of knowledge; c) Real-time Feedback: Interactive learning environments provide learners with instant feedback, which helps them to identify gaps in their knowledge and improve immediately; d) Collaborative Learning: Interactive learning environments encourage learners to work collaboratively, which has proven benefits for memory retention and enhanced peer learning.

Green Servant Leadership and Pro-Environmental Behaviour of Employees
Pro-environmental behaviour (PEB) refers to the practices that are helpful in promoting the natural environment through different practices of recycling, reusable initiatives, reprocessing, rebuilding, and the applications of different ideas to implement practices that reduce the harmful effect of an organization towards the environment by adopting the practices of green products and processes.

Selection of Industrial Sites to Minimize Risks
Industrial sites are essential for the development of an area and they are even more crucial considering the increasing population, which results in an increasing demand for the supply of industrial products. The procurement of products requires a particular place, specifically set as an industrial site location, to produce different products that society needs. An industrial site is an area where industrial activities are centralized and supported by facilities and infrastructure that are developed and managed by industrial site companies with an industrial estate business license. The efficient selection of a perfect site for the development of an industrial site in spatial planning should consider the land condition and environmental factors to minimize the impacts and risks.
