Generation Z's (Gen Z) resistance to slow fashion reflects a significant barrier to adopting sustainable fashion (Slow fashion), which is a concern for brands operating in the Fashion industry. Despite the growing awareness of environmental issues, the purchasing of slow fashion remains low among Gen Z. Aiming to fulfill Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12 proposed by the United Nations, this study investigated the resistance factors to purchasing slow fashion apparel. Key variables from the Stimulus-Organism-Response model, Cognitive Dissonance Theory, and Status Quo Bias Model were adopted. A quantitative research approach and a non-probability convenience sampling were utilised, while data were collected from 184 respondents using an online self-administered survey. The latest SPSS package was used to analyse the data. The empirical findings suggest that beliefs, inertia, loss aversion, psychological commitment, and attitude influence Gen Z's resistance to slow fashion. Strategic management recommendations, limitations, delimitations, and future research avenues are provided.

The logistics of any superstore chain is its ability to get the products at the shelves which their customers really want. The SPAR Nig ltd is a limited liability company operating in Nigeria under license from its South Africa conglomerate whose franchise was given to do the business in Nigeria. Considering that it has been able to meet the high customer flow, thus, need for reliable and unadulterated goods and products, SPAR has developed a warehouse within its superstore chain’s location. The goods are kept and restocked on shelf as the replenishment is required on no advance Warehouse Management System. The aim of this paper is to analyze the replenishment technique for goods efficiently and effectively while using less hazardous methods and reduce the traffic of high end machinery like forklift moving product inside the control space. The method analysis using CAM methodology will employ a small AGV simulated system requested by shelve pickers and run the simulation of product to the pickers with minimal walk around following the nodes path outline on the floor bowl. This will implicitly create a refined work for staff and introduce technology to solve related issues/ergonometric enhancement for employees while promoting the speed of shelf replenishment.

This research investigates factors influencing corporate social disclosure (CSD) within the context of Saudi Arabia. Specifically, it examines how corporate governance attributes and company characteristics impact the extent of CSD. The study utilizes data from 435 firm-year observations spanning 87 companies listed on Saudi Exchange (Tadawul) during 2015-2019. CSD levels are gauged using an unweighted disclosure index derived from the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) framework. The results reveal a negative effect of board size on CSD, suggesting that smaller boards may encourage more comprehensive disclosures. Conversely, the effects of board independence and audit committee independence are insignificant. In line with theoretical predictions, larger, profitable, manufacturing companies, as well as those involved in international operations, tend to disclose more social information. The current research contributes to the literature, addressing conflicting findings on the effects of board characteristics and profitability, and exploring the underexplored roles of audit committee independence and internationalization.

Generations Y and Z may show different tendencies in the job market and prefer different management approaches. Generation Z can enter the language of economic actors as anxious or carefree. The emergence of new professions, more liberal and adapting to these young people, pushes them away from industrial professions. This study aims to propose a change in recruitment methods to professionals in the industrial sector, primarily in the welding profession, or, if necessary, to human resources departments. The analyzes carried out on the questionnaires filled out by 152 volunteer participants, most of whom are university and graduate students, were analyzed with the IBM SPSS Statistics 26 FixPack 1 program and studied at a 95% confidence level. In the analysis, the frequency and percentage values of the categorical variables were determined. The relationship between university, gender and age and categorical variables was analyzed by Chi-square test. Study results; the importance of digital resources in the job and internship search process, the priority of company reputation and working environment in job selection, the effect of personal passion on educational preferences and the low interest in the welding profession, In addition, factors such as the importance of the job and its guarantee are also decisive in the choice of profession. This study is thought that the study will represent an analytical support for companies and SMEs that enable them to take the necessary measures to counter today's harsh reality.

Measuring indicators of tourism development is crucial for formulating effective tourism policies. The Travel and Tourism Development Index (TTDI) is intrinsically linked to the measurement of tourism development indicators. It provides the essential data and analysis needed for creating effective, sustainable, and competitive tourism policies, thereby maximizing the benefits of tourism while minimizing its adverse impacts. The TTDI has been published twice since its inception in 2021. Notably, the methodology for compiling the TTDI has changed to enhance its accuracy and relevance This paper aims to identify the degree of agreement between the new and the original calculation methodology in the TTDI values achieved by countries. In addition, we show the values achieved concerning the region in which the country is located and concerning the income group. Moreover, we quantify differences in the country’s ranking between the original and new rankings within TTDI. The findings indicate that even with the revised methodology for calculating the TTDI, the values attained by the countries exhibit a strong correlation.

The article is devoted to the formulation and systematization of the principles of functioning of the institution of self-employment as a specific institutional socio-economic system. The improvement of the existing approach to the dichotomy of the institution of self-employment into formal and informal institutional components due to the identification of semi-formal institutional formations in the field of self-employment is substantiated. Semi-formal institutional formations mean informal institutions in the field of self--employment, which have certain features of formal ones, and are formed in response to the functional insufficiency of formal institutions of self-employment, in particular, web portals and online freelance exchanges. The principles of functioning of formal, informal and semi-formal components of the self-employment institution are formulated, common features and differences in forming systems of principles of different components of the self--employment institute are determined, which can become the basis for resolving contradictions that arise in the field of self-employment between informal and formal institutions in Ukraine.

One of the elements of creating a competitive advantage of modern enterprises is the development of supply chains, in which logistic processes are essential. Managing such a supply chain allows the integration of key business processes from the end user through suppliers delivering products, services and information, which provides added value for customers and other stakeholders. The main purpose of the study is to assess the degree of implementation of logistic business processes within the supply chain in enterprises operating in the agri-food industry. The source material on the basis of which the analysis was carried out and conclusions were formulated were surveys conducted among agribusiness entrepreneurs from Podkarpacie. The conducted research shows that the level of advancement of logistics processes in supply chains depends on the type of industry in which a specific company operates and its size. Larger economic entities, due to the possibilities and capital they have, use advanced and integrated IT systems supporting production planning, supply, distribution and sales. The implementation of such tools allows for the standardization of many business processes within the network of connections of entities participating in a common supply chain.
