A note of thanks

At the end of this remarkable year, I wish to express my sincere gratitude, also on behalf of the other editors, the members of the editorial board and the publisher of the Future Business Journal, to the referees of the articles considered for the 2021 volume of FBUJ. Hundreds of busy colleagues have spent their time in assessing close to 276 manuscripts submitted to our Journal, up from around 191 in 2020, in selecting the ones that may possibly be published, and in improving the quality of the selected articles. Many of the reviewers have helped us in the past years as well, and we are tremendously appreciative and grateful to them. It is largely thanks to them that FBUJ is doing well in attracting and publishing valuable exceptional articles that strike a balance between the practical and the academic fields, recognizing the intricate relationships between many areas of business activities.
