|     CALL FOR PAPERS   Dear
      Colleagues,  Business
      Excellence and Management journal is pleased to announce the launch of a Special
      Issue entitled Damage and Hope while Living with COVID-19: Back to the
      Roots of Management to Achieve Business Excellence. For
      more than one year we have struggled, we have fought against COVID-19 and
      sometimes, we won. However, the “pandemic war” is not over yet. We can
      see the light at the end of the tunnel, but it seems that there is still
      a long way until we achieve that light.  What
      started as a novelty and curiosity, now became a reality. We understood
      that the entire world has to adapt to a new era. Every economy and every
      business sector has to operate within the limits imposed by the pandemic.
       The
      world has changed, and implicitly, the global economy has changed. Some
      managers have revised their business, others closed their companies, while
      others have taken advantage to open new enterprises.  Even
      if the entire business sector has been challenged, so far it has
      triumphed. New companies have risen and the existing ones have readjusted
      their work where needed. We
      have discovered a new era - the digitalization era - and realised that
      now, more than ever, the business sector should redirect its actions
      towards information technology.   So,
      we offer you a moment of reflection, a moment of returning to the roots
      of management by continuing the „Damage and Hope” series started last
      year, as the aim of this Special Issue is to present how different
      economic sectors and companies coped with the effects of the pandemic and
      how they strive to conquer the new digital era. Moreover, it will
      illustrate the economic future that COVID-19 shaped.  Thus,
      the research topics of this Special Issue may include subjects on (but
      are not limited to): the post covid state of the companies, digital
      transformations, the level of the economic fallout across the countries,
      data analysis and data predictions, company performances, the level of
      sustainability across industries, risk management, new management in
      times of crisis, different management in a different world, transforming
      management and business excellence, the future of business excellence,
      the impact of the pandemic on the economy, markets, finances, industries,
      people psychology, education, universities, social development,
      companies, governments etc. We
      consider this subject of great interest as well as the research on this
      topic being very important. Thus, we strongly encourage researchers,
      professors, students, engineers, academics, and industry professionals
      from all over the world to present their current observations and
      analysis by submitting their research in our special issue. Qualitative
      and quantitative research, reviews, syntheses, and all other original
      research are welcomed. Papers
