Welcome

Dear „e-mentor” readers,

I am delighted to share with you the newest collection of papers. The topics discussed in this issue reflect very well the trends in the current public debates on how to cope with challenges induced by technological revolution.

New trends in management concern mostly the applications of artificial intelligence in business and in the decision-making process in particular. However, it is not only about AI, but also about the possibilities of involving the crowd in open innovation processes.

Readers primarily interested in new trends in education can learn about a new tool to assist teachers in designing online interactive content based on experiences from Poland, Italy, Bulgaria, Greece and Sweden. They can also investigate the problem of compatibility between vocational personalities and career interests of university students based on the results of research conducted in Pakistan. Two other articles touch upon practical problems of criteria for selecting preferred and avoided partners for teamwork in the classroom and guidelines for preparing a successful Erasmus+ proposal. Finally, readers can reflect on the economic education of people with disabilities serving as a tool supporting social inclusion.

What this issue also illustrates well are the achievements in the project of internationalisation supported for the last two years by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education (Poland) (RCN/SP/0361/2021/1). We have accomplished various tasks focused on enhancing the recognition of “e-mentor” in the international academic community, such as cooperation with the foreign organisers of scientific conferences or translating Polish articles into English. Our efforts have resulted in a growing number of authors and reviewers affiliated to foreign institutions. Additionally, we kindly invite you to visit our new website. I sincerely hope that the improvements will satisfy not only our readers, but also authors and reviewers. At the same time, I would like to cordially invite you to contribute to "e-mentor".

"E-mentor" is an open-access journal available free of charge, both online and in printed form. All scientific papers are peer-reviewed and we provide free proofreading of papers accepted for publication in our English issues.
