Dear “e-mentor” readers,

I am pleased to share with you the latest collection of papers, which brings us closer to the redefined scope of our journal: higher education in management and economics.

Readers primarily interested in business education trends can learn about the need for practical financial education at European universities. A study conducted in Romania, Poland and Spain reveals that students' financial literacy is influenced by socio-demographic factors, their academic background and work-related factors. The readers can also gain insight into the changes in the education process to raise interest in creativity and innovations in IT.

Inspiration can also be found in Sweden, particularly in the discussion regarding the potential adaptation of the Swedish model of surrogate student entrepreneurship in Poland. This issue covers other topics related to education, such as case studies as a research strategy in comparative education, maintaining a work-life balance among school teachers, and gifted students' communication with teachers.

The last two articles discuss new trends in management and economics.

This paper discusses the Swedish model of surrogate student entrepreneurship in the context of its potential adaptation in Poland. The concept of the entrepreneurial university is explored, and...

Olena Bocharova, Case Studies as a Research Strategy in Comparative Education

This article is an attempt at analysing one of the qualitative methods increasingly used in educational research, particularly in the context of dynamic social, cultural, and political changes. It focuses on the research question of how case studies are applied in comparative research, with particular emphasis on their strengths and limitations, the use of typological and processual approaches, and the role of the cultural and social context. The study adopts a qualitative approach, incorporating literature review, synthesis of data from various sources, and a three-dimensional (vertical, horizontal, transverse) comparison of selected cases.

Inna Alexeeva-Alexeev, Ana Kaminska, Cristina Mazas-Pérez, Sorin Gabriel Anton, More than Socio- and Geo-demographics: How Complementary Education and Business Experience Shape Students' Financial Behaviour in Europe

Although financial literacy would seem relevant to university students’ education, it is not currently offered as a transversal subject within European academic curricula. It should therefore come as no surprise that a common solution are ad-hoc specific courses, with students often additionally acquiring valuable learning through their own experiences in business environments. With this and the recent literature on the drivers of financial literacy in mind, the authors decided to explore the context shaped by socio-demographic, academic and work-related factors that either promote or prevent European university students from developing appropriate financial skills, such as managing personal finances, planning for short- and long-term needs, and distinguishing among different sources of non-traditional funding. The study...
