Abstract: The scientific monograph ‘Children's Rights in the Sustainable and Digital Environments: Exploring Opportunities and Challenges’ addresses current and carefully selected topics in the field of children's rights. It specifically focuses on issues where the authors critically analyze and discuss the protection of children's rights in the context of sustainable development and digital transformation, as well as the challenges posed by both environments. The contributors engage in critical discourse and offer in-depth analyses of children's rights from both substantive and procedural legal perspectives, examining developments at the national level as well as within the international legal framework. They clearly identify inconsistencies, shortcomings, and difficulties that children's rights face in the context of sustainability and digitalization. In their contributions, the authors emphasize the importance of safeguarding children's rights in judicial proceedings and highlight the role and responsibilities of both national and international actors in this field. They further discuss selected aspects of children's vulnerability and violations of their rights, especially in relation to children affected by armed conflict, those living in crisis regions, and children with disabilities, web.

Abstract: Growing importance of sustainable development, corporate social responsibility and business ethics requires various types of contemporary organisations innovation. This research assesses the problem related to business policy innovation (BPI), which represents organisational governance determination. The main purpose of the paper is to qualitatively and quantitatively present a new, requisitely holistic strategic model of the soft factors influencing BPI, which interdependently incorporates changes in organisational values, culture and business ethics, as well as stakeholders’ interests reconciliation, thus determine soft possibilities for more sustainable business policy, management and practice. While the relevance of these factors for business policy is in the literature widely recognized, there is a small amount of empirical research on their influence on BPI. To mitigate this research gap, advanced structural equation modelling (SEM) based partial least squares (PLS) method was used for analysing data of 734 organisations in Slovenia, the EU state. The research results show that researched soft factors organisational values, culture and stakeholders’ interests reconciliation statistically confirmed influence BPI. Thus, these recognitions can be used as the basis for strategic managerial decision making towards social responsibility and sustainability of an organisation. Reasons why it has not been statistically confirmed that business ethics influence BPI needs to be investigated in future research.
