Welcome

Dear „e-mentor” readers,

I am pleased to share with you the newest collection of diversified papers illustrating new trends in management and in education, with a focus on the international perspective.

The part dedicated to readers primarily interested in management begins with the study exploring the internet users' knowledge and awareness of cryptocurrencies and the determinants of their use in Poland. The discussion of new trends in management is continued with an article on memes, memetics and their applications, conceptual development of memes, identification how they are used in different fields, and a vision of memes in the near future. At the end of this section, readers will find out about the determinants and motives for implementing change management in healthcare.

There are new trends in education related to the transformative approach to developing global human resources. To make the study more interesting, the evidence comes from Japan. Readers can also learn about various aspects of the challenges in remote education, including two cases studies: one from Turkey and another from the USA. Finally, three other articles reflect a modern approach to academic teaching methods, forms, and programs: the identification of critical success factors and risks in the academic course development process through the application of project management methodology; the development of curriculum that will integrate teaching guidelines covering the areas of application of AI technology in the financial and insurance sectors, and the presentation of the manifesto for academic teaching in Business Process Management education in Poland.

As mentioned above, in this issue we have a diversity of topics, as well as authors representing different backgrounds. The strategy of internationalisation supported by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education (Poland) with granted funds (RCN/SP/0361/2021/1) has led to cooperation between "e-mentor" and the foreign organisers of scientific conferences. We have observed an increase in the number of manuscripts submitted and, as the current issue clearly illustrates - a growing number of authors affiliated at foreign institutions. Our further efforts are focused on boosting the quality of published articles, increasing international visibility, raising transparency of the editorial process, and modernising the website. I sincerely hope that the planned improvements will satisfy not only our readers, but also authors and reviewers.

At the same time, I would like to cordially invite you to co-create "e-mentor" with us by becoming a reviewer or by submitting articles for publication. "E-mentor" is an open-access journal available for free, both online and in printed form. All scientific papers are peer-reviewed and we provide free proof-reading of papers accepted for publication in our English issues.
