Abstract This paper finds that there is a significant negative relationship between financial leverage and firm performance in the healthcare industry in Sri Lanka. Furthermore, the fixed cost coverage by the utilization of fixed and operational assets is positively and significantly related to firm performance.

Abstract The article defines the scope of professional activity of organization and community management specialists, distinguishes the most significant professional and general competencies, as well as foresees the targeted need for them in the labour market. Findings of the research revealed a great demand for such professionals, as 84.2 percent of the research participants indicated that such specialists were perceived as a necessity. They also stated that the need for such specialists would continue to grow. Their skills and abilities would enable establishment of organizations and communities, initiation and management of changes in the existing organizations. Excellent analytical, cost management and fundraising abilities, knowledge of marketing and communication would make professionals of organization and community management marketable not only in the Lithuanian, but also in the foreign markets.

Abstract The aim of the article is to create a practically applicable model of the use of emotional appeals for the advertising of personal goods. The theoretical part of the article reviews the use of emotional appeals in advertising and their classification, presents the categories of personal goods. During the expert interview, it was determined which emotional appeals were most appropriate for the advertising of personal goods. Based on the results of the content analysis and questionnaire survey, the main emotional appeals that encourage consumers to purchase the advertised product have been identified; the strength of the emotions caused by the advertisement must be determined and the main elements of the advertisement that form the emotional appeal must be named. Based on the results of the research, a model of the use of emotional appeals for the advertising of personal goods was developed, distinguishing the recommended emotional appeals, emotional strength and advertising elements.

Abstract The aim of this paper is to conceptualize the theoretical quadruple helix model in the field of digital inclusion. It explores the literature on digital inclusion issues, stakeholder’s roles and investigates the main features of the quadruple helix model and its application possibilities in the digital inclusion context. Building on the findings of this literature review, the theoretical quadruple helix model for digital inclusion is proposed. This paper contributes to the literature on digital inclusion and lays a conceptual basis for further theoretical and empirical research in this field.

Abstract Knowledge and innovation are two inseparable topics in the literature on knowledge management or innovation. Most often, when scholars write about knowledge management, they refer to innovation as the key objective. Some argue that using the knowledge available beyond a firm’s boundaries (open innovation) leads to increased innovativeness, while others talk of the knowledge-creating firm. However, current literature provides us with limited insights on how the innovation team deals with externally developed knowledge or how it comes into the innovation creation process. Managing teamwork innovation endeavours in technology development is challenging since the outcome is often uncertain as well as inputs along that path. This paper attempts to open the backbox of open innovation and suggests that innovating teams entwine externally developed knowledge through the process of dealing with not-knowing.

Abstract During the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the digital transformation revolutionised both individual organisations and entire industries. One such advanced technology is Robotic Process Automation (RPA). However, organisations do not always make the progress by using the RPA to increase the efficiency of their business processes. The scientific sources lack the synthesis of Process Management (PM) and RPA and insights into their interrelationship. This article aims to fill the gap in the systematic analysis of interrelations between PM and RPA from a managerial perspective by identifying less researched areas and formulating insights and recommendations for future research.

Abstract The article aims to: 1) assess young people’s general perception of happiness at work; 2) identify their most important features of happiness at work; 3) highlight the impact of demographic factors on expectations. The results of the study revealed that the most important features of happiness for young people in Lithuania are as follows: communication with colleagues, independence in achieving one’s goals and matching the organizational activities with the employees’ values; whereas demographic factors do not affect the expectations of happiness at work.
