In that area, both scientific research and practical applications of various platforms, technologies, and tools for guaranteeing security levels have undergone serious development in recent years. The research objective is based on a study of leading literature sources and the accumulated experience in the subject area to propose and approve an adequate model for ensuring cyber security of an educational institution. Methods: Different organizations adopt different approaches and apply different methods to create systemic conditions for ensuring cyber security. The methods used in the research are based on the specifics of the business processes that take place in the organizations. Based on them, the specifics of educational organizations are highlighted, which determine the creation of a relevant concept of cyber security with appropriate technological measures. Results: The concept proposed in the present study is based both on the current legal framework of the European Union and the Republic of Bulgaria, as well as on good practices and approaches in the subject area. The concept has been implemented and the presented results prove its usefulness for the educational organization. The period to which the empirical part of the study refers is 2022-2023. Conclusions: The main results of the study are in the direction of achieved monitoring of the external perimeter of the organization, implemented monitoring of user behaviour, risk management of information assets, and increased cyber security of the organization.

  PROFILING SCHEME FOR “POTENTIAL STRESS”

  It is a daily task for management to design jobs, pay systems, job descriptions and other aspects of organizational functioning. But by including a profiling of employee’s potential workplace stress, companies could improve “the daily health” of employees and support a healthy and motivated organization underpinning a satisfactory company ... It is a daily task for management to design jobs, pay systems, job descriptions and other aspects of organizational functioning. But by including a profiling of employee’s potential workplace stress, companies could improve “the daily health” of employees and support a healthy and motivated organization underpinning a satisfactory company performance. Drawing an employee’s stress profile would enable the manager to address the workplace stress prior to it actually happens, which would be beneficial for both the employee and the company. The aim of the paper is to suggest a profiling scheme for “potential stress” based on 12 so-called “stress boosters”. The profiling should be viewed upon as an operational tool, which managers can use in their daily management of both employees facing a potential risk of becoming stressed, but also to support the process of hiring new employees.

  MANAGING THE INTELLECTUAL POTENTIAL OF GLOBAL VALUE CHAINS IN THE CONTEXT OF DIGITALIZATION CHALLENGES

  This article delves into the interrelationship among contemporary economic phenomena, namely global value chains, digitalization, and the management of intellectual potential. The paper scrutinizes and underscores the antecedents that led to the inception of the global value chains concept, and delineates an evolutionary diagram of this notion. ... This article delves into the interrelationship among contemporary economic phenomena, namely global value chains, digitalization, and the management of intellectual potential. The paper scrutinizes and underscores the antecedents that led to the inception of the global value chains concept, and delineates an evolutionary diagram of this notion. The aim of this paper is to examine the importance of global value chain challenges and their impact in the digitalization context. To achieve this goal, the Delphi method of collective examination is used in order to conduct a large-scale survey with the involvement of economists working in the global value chains field. The results of the study show that the factor “Lack of skills in the use of digital technologies” is the most influential, and the factor “Corporate culture” is the least influential. A statistical survey was carried out, involving a sample of sixty respondents who are experts in the field. Subsequently, a number of challenges were ranked based on the scores obtained through the Delphi collective examination methodology. The research confirms the pronounced significance of macro groups encompassing challenges to cyber security and the degree of digitalization among the company’s personnel. The novelty of this research lies in the proposed classification of the challenges of the global value chains in the digitalization context and conclusions obtained thanks to the collective expertise regarding the significance of the classified factors.
