Dear Colleagues,

Human resources (HR) are very important in a business; however, the return on investment in human resources is longer than in fixed assets, so entrepreneurs frequently consider how much to actually invest. In addition, in an era governed by the influences specific to the knowledge-based society and the knowledge-based economy, in which intellectual capital will be considered one of the most relevant intangible assets of entities all over the world, the measurement of human resources investment will turn out to be essential for the success of all businesses, while taking the necessary steps in supporting sustainability, sustainability assessment and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within unstable business environment.

We invite papers (mostly research-based) who discuss or open to discuss following questions:

· How to measure performance in intellectual capital?

· Does SDG goals support human resources investments adequately?

· What kind of social innovations would help to develop human resources?

· Is there any problem of lobbying?

Potential authors may submit material related to, but not limited to, the above areas.
