Digital leadership is vital for companies in a constantly evolving technological environment, where the adaptability of leaders is essential to face changes. To better understand this topic, a bibliometric study was conducted that examined publications on digital leadership from 2018 to July 2023. Scopus was used, complemented by tools such as RStudio, VOSviewer, and Microsoft Excel. The findings show that the field has undergone changes lately due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A movement toward digital transformation and technology leadership was observed. The most influential journals, prominent authors and geographical distribution of publications were identified. The United States, Germany and China all stood out in terms of the number of publications and citations. In addition, nine groups of industry sectors related to digital leadership were identified. The pandemic has led to increased interest in online learning and decision making in crisis situations. The results offer an updated view on digital leadership and highlight its relevance in organizations. In addition, qualitative studies are suggested in areas such as blockchain technology, climate change, digital skills, industry 4.0, municipal administration, and virtual skills. In summary, this study contributes to the advancement and understanding of digital leadership in various contexts.

This study explored both the evolution and the integration of digital competencies within the context of open innovation, emphasizing the impact of technological advances across various sectors. The goal was to analyze documents indexed in Scopus from 2017 to 2023 using a quantitative and bibliometric approach. The methodology employed RStudio version 4.3.2 and Microsoft Excel 365 for data analysis, focusing on variables such as documents per year, h-index, total citations, and academic sources. The findings indicated a significant increase in research, highlighting a diversity of approaches, a trend towards international collaboration, and an evolution from basic concepts to complex applications, particularly the integration of digitization with sustainability and innovation. This research underscores the transformation of the business sector through digital competencies in open innovation and suggests further exploration into the effects of the pandemic on digital competencies, the role of artificial intelligence, the digital competencies–sustainable development relationship, and their application across different sectors.

“…If a few decades ago computer knowledge was an advantage when hiring, today it is already commonplace, and the focus has shifted to communication skills and the ability to cooperate, to be an effective link in an integral social mechanism called a professional team. Therefore, many scientific studies consider the problem of forming the so-called "Soft Skills" in different directions (Espina-Romero et al, 2023;Lyu & Liu, 2021;Younis et al, 2021). At the same time, while the need for Soft Skills for professionals who work in the human-human system is obvious, the question of their feasibility for professionals who do not directly communicate with people and whose professional focus is on technical devices remains controversial.…”

The article is devoted to the problem of higher education development in the twenty-first century in the context of global challenges. Since the scientific research did not include an empirical component, theoretical methods of scientific knowledge (analysis, synthesis, abstraction, etc.) became additional components of the methodological toolkit, and the analysis of relevant scientific publications on educational issues for the period of 2019-2023 was taken as a basis. For convenience, the materials were systematized according to the relevant topics: development and implementation of innovative methodology in the educational process; opportunities for integrating digital technologies into education, digitalization; stakeholder requirements for the personality of a specialist and their implementation in the educational process; problems and prospects for the development of the educational sector; transformation of higher education in Ukraine under the influence of a full-scale war. The purpose of the article was to analyze certain aspects of the development of higher education in the twenty-first century. The analysis of publications allowed us to identify visions of ways to solve educational problems and modernize higher education. Particular attention was paid to the peculiarities of the organization of higher education in Ukraine during the war and the factors that will stimulate/hinder the development of post-war Ukrainian higher education. The generalization of information obtained from relevant scientific sources made it possible to model the process of transformation of higher education today, to identify global factors, to point out the incentives and the path of development that the educational sector is currently moving along. The novelty of the proposed research lies in the attempt to systematize existing scientific studies and build a holistic vision of the transformation processes in higher education. The article is aimed at educators, students, educational reformers, and researchers and aims to draw attention to the importance of educational issues.
