Reference: Call for Papers for a New Book: «Innovations and Traditions for Sustainable Development»
The growth of digital technologies in all areas of educational, scientific and industrial activities should be accompanied by appropriate innovations in personnel training, , taking into account the rapidly changing situations in both thei economy and the financial sector on a global scale. The sustainability of development on a global, national and regional scale largely depends on the balance between social, economic and environmental processes. This is especially true in countries with different objectives for the near- and medium-term development.
However, this issue draws attention to the fact that many countries and regions adheres to obsolete procedures in the production of goods and services., This is in stark contrast to businesses, such as those in the tourist industry, which are rapidly adapting their procedures to the ever increasing demand, thus increasing their competitiveness. Even in the United States and in the European Union which have previously proclaimed the beginning of the post-industrial era, there is an increasingly rise in the number of calls for reindustrialization and real resilient economy development, especially in Great Britain. Conflicts of interest between traditionalists and proponents of initiatives to implement rapid transitions into digital communication, distance learning, and corporate governance, among others, etc. can and should be balanced by differing means of communication. Thise book highlights the vital necessity for an increasing process of combining sustainable development processes from different sectors, and applications such as the sciences, education and various production sectors. These sectors have previously been separated by barriers such as linguistic and, technological, among others. Breaking down these barriers will allow an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary flow of synthesis of information.
