Digital governance evolved considerably in the last decades, especially in the context of the 6G generation. Information Technology (IT) transformed humanity and the general paradigms of human beings. More, the Internet of Things (IoT) reframes the socio-economic environment. The paper analyses the specific context of digital governance from countries relevant to the mountain area belonging to the EU, MENA, and BRICS. The results revealed that the proposed hypothesis and indicators were validated. Digital governance offers the right way for leaders to focus on other responsibilities, rather than a decision-making network. The research proposes five new public and private governance indicators, especially for the IT dimension. The EU, MENA, and BRICS countries could follow standard IT governance models. Public and private governance becomes the strongest defense system against socioeconomic chaos and failure. JEL codes: D73, G34, L86

The paper proposes an econometric model for agricultural and food exports, focusing on models regarding New Zealand, South Korea, and Romanian mountain areas. The models for 2002–2040 reveal that these countries are integrated into the agricultural global value chain. The economic model supposes a common export framework for three world economies different in structure, but similar in exports and mountain areas. The paper confirms that tariff barriers and agricultural mountain areas affect positively exports. The paper demonstrates that the export policies of agricultural and food sectors, especially mountains, of a country or a region are influenced, on a macroeconomic level, by most-favor-national clause, the multitude and the clauses of agreements, tariff and non-tariff barriers of the country, promotion of domestic exports, applying mountain development goals, promoting mountain products. At the microeconomic level, exports are determined by farm management, farmers' support, agricultural and food education with a focus on mountain product consumption, benefits awarded for the mountain activities through compensations, and more integrative issues for farmers. The paper's final purpose and solutions consider the mountain area's sustainability, offering the most healthier solutions for future foods.

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the impact of socio-economic negentropy on a management organization's culture. The study aims to check the level of entropy within an organization and propose solutions for negentropy development. The excellent organization represents the ordering of positive entropy into negative entropy. Design/methodology/approach: The theoretical part of the paper presents the importance of the negentropy paradigm in developing the management organization's culture. The empirical study is based on samples from a university with information about different management organization cultures. The data are analyzed by means of regression analysis applied to the Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI). The organizational culture improves management organization through socio-economic negentropy. Findings: Four types of organizational cultures were determined for socio-economic negentropy applied to management organizations: group/family/clan/human relations, ad-hoc/in development/ innovation/open system, hierarchical/internal process/rules-based, rational/market/goal-based. The model has theoretical limitations, being applied to a few respondents. Practical implications refer to the improvement of management organization cultures through using negentropy. Possible social impact concerns a superior work organization and increased productivity. The assumed hypotheses show that the variables' level of education, seniority, age, and job position generate valid statistical models for the existing/preferred cultures from the OCAI model. Originality: Organizations with coherent management efficiently organize their activities through an entropic management organization model. Present within an organization (as an open system), negentropy opposes disintegration, disorder, and entropy.
