- Summary/Abstract:In the modern world, entrepreneurship is becoming increasingly widespread and affects the creation of changes in every business space, at every level in every industrial and territorial area. This is entrepreneurship driven by broadband shopping of goods and services, instant communications, negotiations, orders and deals. It is based on the ideas of Complex Reengineering (CR) theory, the three-tier model and the seven concepts of this theory. This kind of entrepreneurship is closely linked to the CR's objectives and tasks to achieve benefits for both business and society and for nature. In the context of turbulence and business digitization, the need for broadband and multi-lingual entrepreneurship to create digital business infrastructures in which active economic actors receive a new digital existence and electronic mechanisms and tools for all activities of the gaming business are growing. This kind of entrepreneurship is also necessary for every industrial sector, as the variety and speed of technologies are developing with increasing ascending function. The survey focuses on this type of entrepreneurship as a new technology for the CR. An attempt is made to focus research and business practice on the expansion of entrepreneurship through the use of the CR and the transition to industry 4.0 and the use of business technologies based on copying nature and natural processes.

- Keywords:tourism business; tourism industry; quality management; complex reengineering
- Summary/Abstract:"Tourism business management" is a widely discussed topic, but the lack of meaningful ideas associated with this expression gradually turns it into a scientific and media cliché. This increases the likelihood of its dilution and amorphousness. Tourism has always been linked to the food industry, nutrition, transport, information and culture. But, over the last decades, they have undergone spectacular changes that naturally affect the management of the tourism business. The classical management of tourist companies no longer provides the necessary positive result. The objective construction of the management of the tourism business is complex. It is also complicated to interact with the set of different classical theories and management approaches. The main purpose of the study is to reveal the reasons for the application of complex reengineering (CR) to the tourism business. The results obtained from the management of the tourism business, based on the theory of complex reengineering, are justified. Certain opportunities have been identified to improve the tourism business through CR implementation.

- Keywords:employer branding; human resources brand; human capital management; talent management
- Summary/Abstract:Labor market globalization and the "war for talents" motivate many companies to seek new management approaches. With the development of the theory and methodology of marketing and the expansion of its practical application on the basis of modern information technology, more and more companies use marketing tools to formulate and implement their competitive strategies. The idea of applying the marketing approach to the strategic management of the human capital in the organization has been proposed and discussed for the first time by the marketing experts Simon Barrow and Tim Ambler in the period 1990-1996, when they both identified and defined for the first time a specific employer's brand (Employer Brand - EB), also called Human Resources Brand (HR - brand), different from the common corporate brand and the product brands of the organization. Unlike other corporate brands, HR-brand identifies the organization as an employer. HR-brand is a new socio-economic and management phenomenon that is now forming its theory and develops its potential in practice. the interest in its application is increasing on a global scale, both in theory and practice. As far as the human capital is key to both small and large companies, it is equally applicable to all organizations, regardless of size and industry. The concept of the HR-brand is rapidly developing as an effective marketing tool for strategic human capital management, creating a positive corporate identity and increasing the competitiveness of the organization, but to date there is no systematized theory and methodology. With increasing interest, its conceptual nature, component structure, models and technology for construction and development, as well as the effects of its strategic application are being discussed. Various approaches, methodologies, models that have a fragmentary character are proposed in the specialized scientific literature. The belief that, to the extent that the employer's brand expresses its unique identity, it is widely believed that it should be created and developed according to a unique internal project of the organization. The main goal of the author in this publication is the systematization of the results of the theoretical research on the conceptual nature, boundaries and component structure of the employer's brand as an innovative marketing tool in the strategic management of the human capital in the organization. The best practices of leading global companies included in the "Fortune Global 500 Companies" are discussed. The practical significance of the study is the possibility that the results could be used by Bulgarian companies in the competitive struggle for attracting talents

- Summary/Abstract:Why do people receive higher education if the knowledge received in the university is not used by them in their subsequent work, and some of them with too little effort can be obtained directly at the workplace? Does the education we receive on our labor qualities affect us? In classical work by Michael Spence, for which her author was awarded the Nobel Prize, it is claimed that even assuming that such influence is absent, receiving education is a meaningful act.The point is that education helps a person on the labor market to report his work qualities as a potential recruiter, distinguishing himself from the total workforce. The idea of education as a signal is based on two prerequisites. First, the capacities of the potential worker are 'closed' for the employer, they can not be directly appreciated, and secondly, there is a positive link between the qualities of man as a worker and his learning abilities: easy to learn, then it will be easier for him / her to work

- Summary/Abstract:This paper shares the view that in the current economic context, the role of capital as a basis for the company's market assessments in its traditional sense, in the form of financial and tangible capital, is gradually decreasing and supplemented and replaced by the growing role of intangible assets. That is why we believe that modern corporate reports should provide information not only about the financial situation of an enterprise in its traditional sense, but also about strategic goals, resource use, intellectual capital, socially responsible practices, and through the implementation of the concept of integrated reporting. In this way, users will be able to deliver significantly higher information and communication needs than they had years before, and ultimately allow them to explain the model in which the business generates value
