At the current stage of development of international organizations, it is important to increase the efficiency of the use of available resources, including human resources. The thesis advocated in the present study is that a well-thought-out and balanced personnel policy is the basis of good workforce management, and achieving high results in any field of activity is possible only with personnel with a high level of knowledge, abilities and business qualities.

This report aims to emphasize competitive intelligence as an activity necessary for companies in the information technology industry. In a global aspect, the IT sector not only realizes rapid adaptation, but also manages to reach completely new levels in its business history. This sector has always been distinguished by its specific innovativeness (whether subversive or not), flexibility and high reactivity to new realities, and this is precisely what arouses research curiosity to what extent the IT business owes its favorability to methods such as competitive intelligence. The topic of the place of competitive intelligence in the information technology sector is not only relevant, but also still understudied (in contrast to the food, chemical and mining industries). The processes of continuous implementation of new products and services based on specific technologies require caution for companies in relation to their competitors, especially in market conditions of perfect competition. On the other hand, underestimating the integrated system of competitive intelligence (especially in the IT sector) would prove to be a disastrous mistake with losses in financial, intellectual and reputational dimensions, and such can remove even a stable economic player.

The relevance of this topic arises from society's awareness of the detrimental impact of humanity and accompanying economies on climate change and the environment. Many studies have been conducted on foreign direct investment in Bulgaria, and there is a lot of statistical data for analysis, but there is almost no research on green foreign direct investments in Bulgaria, and there are few empirical data and motivations to try to present these investments, which represent the engine of the green transition and are the future of the economic development of the EU and Bulgaria. The objective is to introduce the audience to the most important factor of the green transition - green foreign direct investments. Statistical methods used for data processing and statistical analysis of the already collected data. Description of the obtained quantitative results in tables, figures, and text includes statistical data (descriptive statistics and assessments of the significance of percentage distributions). It is evident that investments in the green economy and renewable sources are increasing their share in total investments, as this has been turning into a trend for several years now, opening up many prospects for companies embracing green psychology.

The current study is a brief overview of price stability in liner shipping over the past year (year 2023) and the beginning of the current year. It shows the importance and relevance of the problem, and how stability in the maritime sector is influenced by external factors and interrelationships. By means of a comparative analysis of the current price imbalances occurring in the sector, we will derive guidelines and instructions for action in specific situations. The report aims to familiarize readers with the pricing process in container shipping. We will help shippers and container brokers to be more flexible in force majeure circumstances and try to create the pillars to build a stable international trade.

The Bitcoin halving is a key event in the Bitcoin ecosystem that occurs approximately every four years or after all 210,000 blocks have been mined. This event is reduced to a double reward that miners receive for adding a new block to the blockchain, with the aim of controlling inflation and maintaining Bitcoin's deflationary model. This event helps to reduce the rate of issuance of new coins, which could theoretically lead to an increase in the price of Bitcoin, and to reduce the supply of constant or growing demand.
