This paper presents an essayistic and conceptual study of investment theory as a century-old educational canon, examined in digital transformation and the era of artificial intelligence. It traces the formation and institutionalization of this canon through key conceptual foundations and organizational actors. The article explores how this canon is reproduced through textbooks, university curricula, and certification structures. The study highlights several structural limitations and methodological deficiencies, including the preferential treatment of fundamental analysis over technical analysis, the marginalization of alternative risk measures, and the critique of the statistical foundations of investment theory. It underscores the need to reconsider investment education's conceptual and pedagogical scope through more adaptive, interdisciplinary, and technologically aware approaches that reflect the realities of contemporary financial markets.

The article is devoted to the genesis and development of the Internet of Things (IoT). Structurally, it consists of an introduction, three parts, and a conclusion. The first part is introductory in nature and reveals the primary foundations for the origin of the IoT, such as the invention of the computer, the discovery of the transistor, and the Internet as a global system of interconnected networks, as well as the more significant discoveries prior to its "birth" that paved the way for its emergence. The second part traces the expansion and development of the Internet of Things in chronological order, highlighting the main milestones in its evolution until 2024. The third part identifies three stages in the development of the IoT: inception and initial development, growth and expansion, and ubiquitous connectivity and mass application. In conclusion, in addition to brief summarizing conclusions from the presentation, expectations related to the development of the IoT in the near future are outlined very concisely, such as the use of 5G networks, blockchain technologies, edge computing, the integration of IoT with artificial intelligence (AloT), and machine learning (ML).

Organizational innovations of European small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the industrial sector are one of the main drivers of sustainable economic development. The main objective of the article is, based on the interpretation of theoretical statements, to study and assess the correlation between organizational innovations and the sustainable development of the economic activity of SMEs in the Member States of the European Union during the period 2012-2022. The assessment of the implemented types of organizational innovations is carried out using the indicator of “new business practices for organizing procedures or external relations of European SMEs in the industrial sector”. The size of the “realized net turnover” is used as a measure of the sustainable development of the economic activity of the surveyed enterprises. The adopted methodological framework of the study includes the application of the method of linear regression and correlation. The collected empirical data were processed using the IBM SPSS Statistics software product and the Excel program. The obtained research results support the positive influence of the organizational innovations carried out on the growth of the realized net turnover of SMEs in the industrial sector of Europe. The emerging similarities and differences between the studied enterprises in the countries of the European Union are highlighted. More important regularities in the development of organizational innovation at the level of enterprises in the European industrial sector are deduced.
