2. Major sport events returning to emerging sports tourism nations : willingness to pay for the EuroBasket in SloveniaSimon Ličen, Renata Slabe Erker, 2026, original scientific article Abstract: As Slovenia prepares to co-host the 2029 EuroBasket, or European Basketball Championship for men, this article examines the variables that influenced taxpayers’ willingness to support public backing for a previous rendition of the tournament. The authors surveyed 374 Slovenian taxpayers when the country hosted the event in 2013, and determined that on average, they stated a willingness to pay (SWTP) of €18.7 per person. A Tobit model showed that belief in the societal impact of sports events and the nation-building potential of the tournament increased SWTP by €5.1. Wealthier respondents were less willing to contribute; to overcome this challenge, future promotional campaigns should target higher earners. Beyond money, respondents valued intangible benefits including national pride, international recognition, and skills gained in event organization and marketing. When Slovenia co-hosts the tournament again in 2029, the local organizing committee should spotlight both tangible and emotional benefits, amplify community narratives, and design curated promotional campaigns to secure the trust of a broad range of supporters and stakeholders.

8. Sacred or sold? : A systems approach to balancing spirituality and commercialisation in faith-based tourismTadeja Jere Jakulin, Dane Munro, 2026, original scientific article Abstract: This paper examines the complexity of pilgrimage tourism, with its interdependencies among sacredness, spirituality, and commercialisation at faith-based tourism destinations. We use a Systems Approach to move beyond linear thinking that positions spirituality and commerce as inherently oppositional forces, arguing that pilgrimage destinations function as complex adaptive systems in which spiritual, commercial, and educational objectives interact dynamically. We build Causal Loop Diagrams (CLDs) formed from autoethnographic observation and stakeholder discussions. We present and compare four pilgrimage sites: Lourdes (France), Brezje (Slovenia), Malta, and Istanbul’s Hagia Sophia (Türkiye). The CLD models reveal the dynamics of the pilgrimage sites, the interdependencies, and the interactions among stakeholders (elements of the system). The systems approach demonstrates that successful destinations manage pilgrimage sites as integrated systems in which activities complement and constrain one another through feedback loops. Using a Systems Methodology, the article develops the dynamics of pilgrimage environments and presents a new typology of four pilgrimage (sacred) and commercial (secular) destinations. By advancing knowledge and education, the spiritual-commercial role of the sacred- secular destinations in question offers a different, comprehensive approach to their management.
Keywords: religious tourism, commercialization of pilgrimage, spiritual authenticity, systemic dynamics, management of sacred sites, heritage education

9. Ustvarjanje znanja za trajnostni razvoj visokošolskih ustanovMirko Markič, Tina Quéchon, 2026, published scientific conference contribution Abstract: Izobraževanje za trajnostni razvoj predstavlja enega izmed globalnih ciljev iz Agende Združenih narodov do leta 2030 ter vsebuje pridobivanje novih znanj in veščin. Management znanja pomeni ustvarjanje, pridobivanje, deljenje, hranjenje in uporabo znanja. V slovenskem visokošolskem prostoru ne obstaja teoretična ali empirična raziskava, v kateri bi avtorji celovito povezovali institucionalno transformacijo, ustvarjanje znanja in trajnostne prakse. Namen našega prispevka bo predstaviti ugotovitve iz pregleda dosedanjih 35 raziskav o treh navedenih konceptualnih dimenzijah, ki so prisotne v globalnem visokošolskem prostoru. Pregled smo opravili v javno dostopnih bazah podatkov s pomočjo metodologije PRIZMA. Izidi iz naše raziskave bodo imeli teoretične in praktične implikacije za managersko znanost ter stroko in bodo spodbujali snovanje nacionalne raziskovalne ter izobraževalne politike in strategije.
Keywords: institucionalna transformacija, management znanja, trajnostni razvoj, ustvarjanje znanja, visoko šolstvo

10. Raziskovanje managerskih in organizacijskih pojavov : med metodološkimi smernicami in raziskovalno realnostjoKlara Čalušić, Nina Krmac, 2025, professional article Abstract: Raziskovalci managerskih, organizacijskih in poslovnih pojavov delujejo na stičišču različnih vsebinskih poudarkov ter bogatega nabora metodoloških pristopov za sistematično preučevanje omenjenih tematik. Kako metodološko korektno zasnovati raziskavo, se lahko izkaže za posebej zahtevno nalogo zaradi več razlogov, ki izhajajo iz narave discipline, socializacije v akademsko okolje, izhodiščnega raziskovalnega problema, konteksta in nenazadnje dinamičnega poslovnega okolja, v katerem želijo raziskovalci opraviti raziskavo. Pri tem se lahko soočijo s situacijami, ki zahtevajo določeno mero metodološke fleksibilnosti za smiselno uravnoteženje raziskovalnega namena in ciljev s praktičnimi omejitvami, ki se pojavijo v raziskovanju. Ravno zaradi tega je ključnega pomena, da poznajo različne metodološke možnosti, ki so jim na voljo, vendar pa po drugi strani raziskave na področju managementa kažejo, da se določeni pristopi pojavljajo kot dominantne metodološke opcije. Namen članka je prvenstveno predstaviti nekatere izzive, s katerimi se soočajo raziskovalci, in podati drugačen pogled na metodologijo, kot ga običajno dobimo iz prebiranja številnih metodoloških učbenikov, s poudarkom na praktičnih izkušnjah raziskovalcev.
