Abstract: This chapter explores key theoretical and practical foundations necessary for understanding and implementing innovative processes with more sustainable human activities. Building on the systems thinking, ethical frameworks, and Brundtland Report, the chapter examines how subjective viewpoints (emotions, values, talents, knowledge of why and knowledge of how) shape innovative processes for more sustainable behavior. Case studies in forestry and organic farming illustrate how sustainability can achieve both ecological and economic benefits. Contemporary research on ethics, environmental, social and governmental initiatives, integration, and sustainability reporting further supports the relevance of more requisitely holistic and long-term perspectives. The chapter concludes with recommendations for education, policy, and future research to strengthen systemic and ethical approaches to sustainability in innovative processes.
Keywords: innovative processes, systems thinking, ethics of interdependence, sustainable development, Gro Harlem Brundtland Report, smallwood, organic farming

Modeling and automation of the employee profile’s soft skills was carried out. Statistical observation and empirical confirmation were used to evaluate the developed methodology. 115 respondents from different fields of science and technology from Reshetnev University took part in the diagnostic. Results: The results show that the proposed complex automated personality diagnostics is valid. And it allows you to visualize the soft skills profile, determine the level of competencies’ expression and identify the directions of the employee’s individual development. Conclusion: The study offers a comprehensive integrated methodology which allows you to assess the formation level of representatives’ soft skills of various fields of activity.

Abstract: This study contributes to the research literature through its approach to equipping tourism content creatives who are entering the professions of destination image communication with platform expertise alongside cooperation and co-creation leadership. Productive skills for travel writers and social media content producers in tourism are significant in the co-creation of sustainable tourist experiences since they are interactive and participative. The two purposes of this study are to implement and improve the dialogue journaling process as a re-usable methodology. The new 3-step processual research methodology is explained through a case study with stakeholders and project leaders in Brežice, Slovenia. The paper contributes to pragmatic tourism management concerns and practice by reporting findings from a real-world process project on cultural heritage that provides a re-usable solution.

Abstract: This thesis uses the Srebrenica Genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina as a case study to examine how dark tourism contributes to the development of tourism and the preservation of collective memory. It examines the ways in which memorial sites, like the Srebrenica-Potočari Memorial Centre, support ethical tourism, promote reconciliation, and shape Bosniak communal identity. The study explores how historical trauma is perceived and communicated to both domestic and foreign tourists by utilizing the ideas of collective and cultural memory. The study uses qualitative techniques, including as interviews with important stakeholders, to investigate how genocide memorialization affects Bosnia's tourism industry and larger sociopolitical processes. Considering the difficulties of political tensions, global narratives, and local sensitivities, it draws attention to the fine balance between memory preservation and tourism development. In order to strengthen the significance of respectful recollection in post-conflict communities, the findings are intended to provide guidelines for sustainable dark tourism practices that promote education, empathy, and historical understanding
