“…To put it differently, I am simply stating that what was happening in the context of the pandemic is not an entirely new phenomenon, as far ethnic minorities such as the Roma are concerned but is simply an intensification of processes directly related to neoliberal policies and regimes of governance, which have led to what Loic Wacquant defines as 'advanced marginality' (Wacquant, 2008). It's as simple as that, namely, in trying to overcome the impact of the lockdowns and deterioration of mental health (Briggs et al, 2021b), we resorted back to the same old mantra and messages of consumerism, even engaging in practices of hyper-consumption (Briggs et al, 2020;Angelova et al, 2021) at the expense of producing more and more precarious lives (Tsoneva et al, 2021;Deneva, 2021). Having outlined the some of the issues that the paper raises, the next section will provide a wider literature review context as to where we were before the pandemic with regards to social inequality and marginalization in Bulgaria problems that for the Balkans', however such framing and labelling fails to take in account the complex nature of different ethnic and religious communities that reside in the quarter.…”

With the onset of the pandemic, the precarious position of Roma communities in Bulgaria, particularly young people and their future prospects, seem bleaker than ever before, reaching new heights in terms of their insecurity. Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork, conducted prior to and post several lockdowns during the pandemic (2020-2021), this paper will place forward the argument that the crisis we are currently witnessing, the unprecedented levels of multi-faceted social marginalization and exclusion are intensified by ‘old ghosts’ that have haunted social policy for decades and the withdrawal of the state during the lockdowns will most certainly have a devastating impact – ‘new regrets’, one’s which cannot be overcome by simply providing access to the consumer market economy, the mantra on which the pathways towards revitalization are premised.

“…The new reality is accelerating business model transformation at a faster pace than ever before to ensure existential survival in a crisis for which no one was prepared. However, our team's research during the last two years (Angelova, Dimitrova & Pastarmadzhieva, 2021;Wojtyto et al, 2021) focused the attention on the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic, having a dramatic impact on society, business (entrepreneurship) and government institutions. The topic of the COVID-19 pandemic consequences and dissemination in modern society is in its infancy, at least because it is unfolding spatially and temporally on a local, regional, and global scale.…”

The new reality caused by the Covid-19 pandemic forced businesses to seek flexible solutions and the application of innovations in all fields of management. Living in the era of predictable unpredictability, the topic of entrepreneurship, digitalization, innovation, and competitiveness must be perceived by business representatives as a straw for existence. Thus, the main purpose of the current study is to identify good practices and innovative trends in the field of management and entrepreneurship utilizing digital solutions. The research object is the EU member states and it is focused on the e-commerce, web sale, and way of communication of the enterprises under the pandemic. For the evaluation of good practices and their possible implementation in business, we used comprehensive desk research based upon literature review and secondary analysis of empirical data in the period December 2021 – March 2022. Empirical data collected from national and international empirical studies conducted by private and state sociological agencies, as well as authors' teams of scientific and educational institutions, are the arrays on which secondary data processing was made. The results show that innovative management behavior of digital enterprises can provide added value based on the favorable reputation that they create.

“…With the ever-increasing complexity in consumer decisions due to several contributing factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic (Zwanka & Buff, 2021), digitalization (Sima et al, 2020), climate change (Thøgersen, 2021), and multicultural and diverse marketplaces (Angelova et al, 2021), the traditional consumer behavior prediction methods typically based on linear statistical analysis with finite contextual factors are fast becoming dated (Pappas & Woodside, 2021).…”

“…With the ever‐increasing complexity in consumer decisions due to several contributing factors such as the COVID‐19 pandemic (Zwanka & Buff, 2021), digitalization (Sima et al, 2020), climate change (Thøgersen, 2021), and multicultural and diverse marketplaces (Angelova et al, 2021), the traditional consumer behavior prediction methods typically based on linear statistical analysis with finite contextual factors are fast becoming dated (Pappas & Woodside, 2021). In a broader sense, consumer behavior research could be defined as research focusing on the cognitive and physical acts of end users concerned with ultimate consumption, that relate to acquiring, consuming, and disposing of economic goods and services both from private and public sectors (Arndt, 1976).…”

The traditional symmetrical methods may not be sufficient for effectively examining the asymmetries that are evident in the real‐world complex consumption context in the form of pandemic, and other technological, sociocultural, environmental, and geo‐political factors. As a result, the use of innovative and asymmetrical methods such as fuzzy‐set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA), which draws from the complexity theory could help better predict and explain consumer decisions in the age of disruptions. Through a comprehensive method‐based systematic literature review of 129 research articles published in the consumer behavior research literature, this study helps to identify the key trends, leading publication sources and contributors, and the current knowledge structure of consumer research using fsQCA. In doing so, this review also sheds light on the state of diversity within this particular area of research. The findings help identify the key future avenues for utilizing fsQCA within consumer research. This review is a useful resource for practitioners to gain a direct access to key consumer research scholars for identifying the constructs (e.g., antecedents, mediators, moderators, enablers, inhibitors) shaping consumer behaviors to inform strategic decisions.
