After the 24th of January 1980, the Turkish economy had undergone a significant transformation by which inward-oriented and protective import substitution policies had been replaced by outward-oriented and export-based industrialisation and growth strategies (Töngür & Taymaz, 2017). The main characteristics of this transformation composed of liberalisation of the financial sector, opening to foreign markets and integration into international economy (Yeldan, 2016). The government engaged in contractionary fiscal and monetary policies to suppress domestic demand and real wages and kept their priority to increase exports by implementing various incentive and subsidy tools (Doğruel & Doğruel, 2017; Orhangazi, 2020; Soydan, 2018; Yeldan, 2016). As a result of the experienced transformation, Turkey suffered from economic instability and fragility in the post-1980 period (Soydan, 2018). The average annual growth rate decreased from 5.65% in the 1960s to 4.10% in the 1980s (Taymaz & Voyvoda, 2017; World Bank, 2021).

Today’s business environment requires leaders to be able to react quickly to the changes that are constantly emerging. Agile techniques help leaders face such challenges and engage the organization in an environment where it can respond flexibly to emerging changes (Fincke et al. 2020; Hitka et al., 2018). Agile people leadership is based on motivating team members while allowing them to communicate with each other and set goals, with each of them involved in decisionmaking and capable of self-management (Salajová, 2020). In the past, people leadership has mainly focused on the individual and his or her relationship with subordinates or successors. The field of leadership has primarily focused on the behavior, thinking, and actions of the leader in a team or organization (Blštáková et al., 2020; Jankelová et al., 2021; Salajová 2020). This paradigm has dominated the field of organizational behavior for decades.

Given the rate of growth in online grocery shopping revenues, retailers and manufacturers need to understand how consumers behave when shopping online (Anesbury et al., 2016). Thus, categorising customers into groups according to typical elements of their customer behaviour is important both in terms of increasing knowledge about customer behaviour from a scientific perspective and in the development of, for example, companies’ marketing strategies. In fact, by dividing customers according to an appropriate segmentation, a company can divide its market into several suitable segments in which customers have similar characteristics and needs and which it is effective to target. This paper focuses on the domain of customer segmentation and specifically on the field of online grocery shopping, which has been one of the fastest-growing online categories in recent years around the world.

This year, E+M Ekonomie a Management/E&M Economics and Management journal will celebrate its 25th anniversary. On this occasion, we have prepared an analysis that maps the development of the journal over the past years and highlights the main milestones. Let us briefly reminisce about the history of the journal. The journal was founded in the second half of 1998 on the initiative of the first dean of the Faculty of Economics (Technical University of Liberec). Associate Professor Jaroslav Jágr approached other deans of faculties of Economics and management in the Czech Republic with the idea of establishing a new journal. These were the faculties in Hradec Králové, Pardubice, Plzeň, Ústí nad Labem and Zlín. The Faculty of Economics, the Technical University of Liberec became the coordinator and the editorial office seat. The journal was originally intended mainly for young researchers. In 1998, there was published the first and the only issue. From the next year onwards, the periodicity of publication was fixed at four issues per year. In some years special issues were also published. However, these were later withdrawn.

One of the newer models, the Human Activity Assistance Technology (HAAT), shows that when human enactment encompasses the practice of assistive manoeuvres, the performance depends on some relevant factors related to people, activities, and assistive technology products. In recent centuries, the mandate for the growth of senior medical services that utilize new technologies and support independent living has amplified. Some activities focus on observing and evolving internal autonomy, exclusively for the old and people with infirmities. Many solutions are based on specific technologies such as WLAN connection or Internet of Things (IoT) systems, especially for a humanoid identity for an extensive collection of interior amenities (Baucas et al., 2021). However, complete independence in performing daily tasks and activities is a challenge for people with disabilities, including those with visual impairments. Several studies open up new opportunities by proposing tools, methods, and assistive technologies (AT) to overcome many obstacles.
