With the development of world economic globalization, market competition is tremendously increasing. Through recent science and technology, we can conduct a comprehensive exploration and reasonable management of the company’s operation, capital investment and finance. With the rapid development of computer technology, the realization of many accounting models and methods which used to be very complicated has become simple and easy. If enterprises still adopt traditional financial decision-making methods, it will be difficult to enhance their competitiveness. The most important thing in the financial industry is to serve customers and provide them with more accurate and reliable services. The application of artificial intelligence technology in the financial industry will surely drive its intelligence upgrade and efficiency improvement. The research on the application value and strategy of artificial intelligence technology in the financial field is helpful to promote the further development of the financial industry. Based on the characteristics of financial decision-making in the development of new technology, this paper analyzes that traditional financial decision-making support cannot meet the needs of intelligent development of enterprises and proposes that the application of artificial intelligence will improve the accuracy, automation and timeliness of financial decision-making.

The globalization of the economy creates new opportunities for the formation of global food supply chains as a new type of infrastructure, which requires improved antitrust regulation of global food markets. The purpose of this work is to identify trends in the system of antimonopoly regulation of the food market in the context of globalization based on the systematization of the most important research results of foreign and domestic authors and the practice of competition authorities. The work uses the methods of a systematic approach, logical-structural analysis. The study is based on the provisions and conclusions of modern theories of the foundations of competition, competitive advantage. Information and analytical materials of the Federal Antimonopoly Service play an important role in the work. Results. The content of changes in the contours of global food supply chains is revealed, which manifests itself in the complication of the chain around leading large retailers; active education in the chain of new technology companies; improving chain management processes, leading to lower costs. The analysis of theoretical views on antitrust regulation of global food supply chains is carried out, which makes it possible to identify a number of fundamental provisions on which the activities of competition authorities should be based - to stimulate the competitive behavior of participants in the chain. An assessment of the practice of antimonopoly regulation of global food supply chains in a number of countries is given, focusing on a detailed analysis of all links of the chain, identifying constraints on the development of competition in the segments of the chain. The dynamics of the main indicators of the activities of FAS Russia in the food market is presented, indicating an increase in the identified violations in this economy. Attention is focused on new mechanisms for ensuring competition through the technological transfer of innovative material to Russian companies to enhance their competitiveness. Scientific novelty. The trends and features of the development of global food supply chains are identified based on the identification of specific factors in the context of globalization. Some principles of state antimonopoly control of global food supply chains have been formed, which makes it possible to improve the practice of their regulation.

International trade regulation is viewed as a key function of managing the flow of goods and services in international exchange. The study analyses the primary challenges in the development and regulation of global trade and establishes the avenues for counteracting structural distortions and imbalances in international exchange. The methodological framework of the research includes the concept of foreign economic activity management and international trade theory. Analysis, synthesis, as well as historical and logical methods were used. The empirical base covers data from world trade statistics in the context of bilateral trade flows between key countries participating in international exchange. The authors propose their own methodology which is based on a descriptive assessment of atypical changes in international trade and stress factors in its development under the influence of the crisis, and takes into account the reliability of participants in international exchange. We prove that economic globalization has a decisive effect on the formation of imbalances and risks of a rise in protectionism in cross border trade. As shown in the research, the COVID-19 pandemic has exerted a special influence on export-oriented countries and global supply chains, which makes the impact of the current crisis on international exchange unprecedentedly inclusive. The current rapid recovery of global trade does not imply it being sustainable in the medium and long term, since foreign trade regulation in the key countries remains uncertain and strained. The progress of world trade multilateral regulation was virtually destroyed, as evidenced by the resumption of the discriminatory measures practice between countries. Strategies for managing the crossborder movement of goods will depend on the depth and effectiveness of mega-regional trade agreements, as well as on the rebalancing of trade between the leading players – the United States and China.

© 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.The energy sector of Argentina is predominantly reliant on fossil fuels. Consequently, such fossil fuel dependency within the nation’s power sector, in particular, has aggravated the environmental quality in Argentina by amplifying the nation’s energy production-based carbon emission levels. However, keeping into consideration the international commitments pledged by Argentina under the Paris Accord and the Sustainable Development Goals agenda, it is pertinent for this South American country to curb its energy production-based emission of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide. Against this milieu, this study examines the impacts of renewable electricity generation, economic globalization, economic growth, and urbanization on carbon dioxide emissions generated from the production of electricity and heat in the context of Argentina. Using annual frequency data from 1971 to 2016, recent econometric methods are applied to control for multiple structural breaks in the data. The major findings from the ecnometric analyses affirmed long-run associations between renewable electricity generation, economic globalization, economic growth, urbanization, and energy production-based carbon dioxide emissions in Argentina. Besides, enhancing renewable electricity output shares is found to curb these emissions while economic globalization and urbanization are witnessed to boost them. Moreover, renewable electricity generation and economic globalization are found to jointly reduce the energy production-related carbon dioxide emissions in Argentina. The results also validate the authenticity of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis. Finally, the causality analysis reveals evidence of unidirectional causalities running from renewable electricity generation, economic globalization, economic growth, and urbanization to energy production-related carbon dioxide emissions in Argentina. In line with these findings, this study recommends several viable policies which can be implemented to help Argentina control the growth of its energy production-based carbon dioxide emissions.

Currently, one of the most concise expressions of the phenomenon of economic globalization is the extent of the organization of production on a global or regional basis and the integration on new criteria, of a functional nature, of the activities within it. A decisive role in the organization of production processes abroad is played by multinational companies, which, in order to achieve their objectives, most “export” not only know-how, but also management methods and techniques, applicable in the countries of origin. In this article, the authors aim to identify and highlight the main arguments that support the glocalization as an objective necessity and, at the same time, a viable solution to achieving a successful management of the multinational companies, to ensure a win-win relationship between them and the communities and the local markets in which they operate, in the context of economic globalization.

Economic globalization never proceeded in a smooth steady trajectory. The current international economy, organized around liberal principles, faces potential problems unleashed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Two popular theoretical approaches offer varying reasons for the survivability of the contemporary order. One stresses the benefits associated with participating in liberal international orders, claiming such arrangements are essentially self-sustaining. The rival view emphasizes the uneven distribution of gains, emphasizing the role of leadership, especially for dampening crises. To examine the support for each argument, I examine the evolution of international monetary arrangements. International monetary orders lie at the heart of liberal international economies; no prior liberal monetary order has proven self-sustaining. Liberal international monetary sub-orders depend upon leadership as much as cooperation for their survival—leaders exert efforts to shape followers' actions so long as the leader draws sufficient benefits to make such efforts worthwhile. The economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic provides the latest illustration of this point, though these arguments also suggest experiences across issue-areas will vary.

This research paper studies trends and hotspots of management internationalization in the sphere of higher education. The survey is based on CiteSpace visualization technology and on the corpus approach to studying keywords and annotations for 2010–2021 publications in 25 major higher education journals. Keywords analysis by CiteSpace showed that the hotspots of the management internationalization research are focused on postgraduate education management, on the projects «Double First Class University Plan», «Greater Bay Area», «Cooperation in Running Schools», etc. The future possible areas of investigation are the «local internationalization» of university management, the internationa lization of management in terms of international-level specialties and first-class universities’ nationalization, as well as the contradiction of the «spillover effect» between university management and cross-university cooperation. The corpus-based analysis showed that over the past 12 years the studies of internationalization of higher education and its mana gement have been carried out within the large-scale project «One Belt – One Road» and economic globalization. These studies include the modules of universities’ development, university education, academic research, school management strategy, etc. To effectively address the challenges faced by higher education internationalization management, the aut hors propose to take advantage of consistent teaching quality and to leverage regional and local resources, so as to create a multidimensional platform that would interconnect talents and ways to use them. Of no less importance, when summarizing such experience, is it to take into account the historical background, so that this platform, certainly engaging state policy, would allow a reform of higher education globalization for its further development.

Change management is a key issue for the survival and realization of organizational objectives in today's business environment, which is changing in different ways. Change has become a necessary constant for companies that need to change in order to remain competitive in the market. The ability to manage this change is seen as a basic skill of successful enterprises in contemporary entrepreneurship. These changes are undoubtedly manifested both locally and internationally. Economic globalization as an integrator has caused these two levels to merge into one, causing the difference between them to fade. This integration has been very intense lately. Leadership as the process by which an individual influences a group to achieve a common goal. Process means systematic and continuous actions and ways by which the leader influences subordinates. It should be noted that leadership is not a linear process but an interactive process and requires adaptation and innovation. Entrepreneurship and innovation in developing countries but also in developed countries in the contemporary era is influencing in all aspects of business development. This research for Kosovo condition confirms the following results: that the change process is an integral and necessary part of day-to-day management in these enterprises, identifying leadership challenges in implementing the change process and adapting enterprises to the contemporary environment continues to be vital to performance profitability and competitiveness. Answering research questions requires testing the relationships between variables (type of change, process factors, and success of the change). Testing of these connections is enabled using quantitative methods. As a result, the use of questionnaires as a method for data collection in this paper enables: research and analysis of possible relationships between the variables taken in the study, and tends to 'open' issues that will be of interest to be explored in the future. These leadership activities, adapting the efforts to maximize the existing opportunities in the environment of strong competition and following the contemporary development trends in the enterprise have been researched during the processes of change in the enterprise are: creating a strong leadership team to lead the processes, develop a vision to assist and guide efforts to achieve strategic objectives, designing and communicating the strategy to achieve the planned results, providing training and career development for employees to understand, reduce resistance and motivate to achieve the mission and vision of the enterprise.

With the continuous development of economic globalization, changes in the industrial structure have become an indispensable material basis in the current process of social and economic changes. Optimize and develop the internal structure of each industry, especially industrial industry,and use the functional expansion of the industrial structure as a transformation model to promote the educational structure, thereby realizing the upgrading of the economic development industry.

The study of this paper related to globalization and the main concerns on Economic globalization which is referred to the mobility of people, capital, technology, goods and services internationally. Economic globalization includes those people. They are well familiar with the international economic situation. Are several characteristics such as competence of the legal and cultural structures of other nations, foreign languages and advanced technology. In simple words, Economic globalization is related to the increasing interdependence of world economies which results in the growing scale of flow of international capital, cross-border trade of commodities and services, and wide and rapid spread of technologies. This paper explores how the natural types of globalization are negative and positive impacts on economic globalization. Economic globalization involves a wide variety of processes, opportunities and problems related to the spread of economic activities among countries in the world.

The modern world is a world of global trends. Studies often do not take into account the nonlinearity of the process and create the appearance of automatically deepening and expanding global processes that affect all areas of life. Globalization is considered in the article as a non-linear process of spatial interaction, mutual influence and interdependence of the world economy subjects. One of the main periodization criteria of economic globalization is the qualitative changes in spatio-temporal relations. Thepurpose of the paper is to justify the reasons for the emergence of a new phase of globalization. The pandemic has triggered a serious blow to the global interdependent economy. This means that globalization is entering a new phase.

With the economic globalization, increasing numbers of Chinese entrepreneurs have taken an interest in international investments and acquisitions in order to expand their business territories around the world. Based on various motivations for international investments, this paper analyzed the challenges faced by Wanda, Fuyao Glass, and Fosun in regard to different business backgrounds and models, cultural concepts, as well as the changing global political and economic environments in addition to summarizing their experiences and lessons from international investments.

The purpose of the article is to review the foreign practice of the development of light industry and identify its features. The head of state identified the problem of ensuring the competitiveness of domestic enterprises as the most important direction of the political strategy. The modern international policy of Kazakhstan is aimed at integrating the country into the world economic community. In the context of economic globalization, ensuring the competitiveness of enterprises is a determining factor in their security and the economic security of the state as a whole. The accession of the republic to the WTO in the near future dictates the need to develop competitive industrial production, including light industry. Light industry plays an important role in the economy of each country, since it is a serious source of budgetary funds and has significant export potential. The state of the light industry affects the economic and strategic security of the country. The socio-economic significance of this industry is determined by the fact that it plays an important role in ensuring the employment of the working-age population, especially women, and has an impact on people's health. Light industry products are used in all spheres of human activity and are second only to food products in terms of consumption. Due to this, light industry is designated in Kazakhstan as a priority industry.

This study investigates the impact of agriculture, renewable energy production, and globalization on CO2 emissions in Turkey between 1970 and 2017 using the Gregory–Hansen cointegration test, bootstrap autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach, fully modified ordinary least squares, and dynamic ordinary least squares long-run estimators. The political, social, and economic KOF indices are used as explanatory variables. The results of the Gregory–Hansen cointegration test and bootstrap ARDL approach indicate a cointegration relationship between the variables. The long-run estimators reveal that agriculture, renewable energy production, and economic globalization increase environmental pollution. Therefore, this study confirms the undesirable impact of these variables on CO2 emissions. The positive economic globalization coefficient indicates that the scale effect is valid in Turkey. In addition, the crisis in 2001 slowed the economic growth rate in the country, which decreased environmental pollution. Based on the findings of this study, various recommendations are provided for Turkish policymakers.

This study is not only important for policy creators but also useful for governments of both developed and developing countries in which to improve their carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and also to maintain growth in renewable electricity production. This study is concerned with the impact that renewable energy consumption, economic factors, globalisation and natural resources have on CO2 emissions in 31 developed and 155 developing countries over the period 1991 to 2018, and utilises time pair dynamic fixed effect and time pair dynamic generalised method of moments (GMM) and system generalised method of moments (system GMM) estimators. The results indicate that renewable energy and social globalisation play a very important role in a CO2 emission reduction of both developed and developing countries. Moreover, in developed countries fuel exports, economic growth, and economic globalisation increase CO2 emissions. Although in developing countries, fuel exports and economic globalisation reduce CO2 emissions, and economic growth and political globalisation increase CO2 emissions. Therefore, policy implications are suggested for both the developed and developing countries' not only for environmental reasons, but also for sustaining growth in fuel exports and for increasing renewable electricity.

The Indonesian state is authentically a country that is abundant in terms of its natural resources (SDA). The islands from Sabang to Marauke are lined with abundant and varied wealth. Starting from gold, silver, spices and so on. However, the poor state of Indonesia at this time then raises a question mark, why are Indonesia's natural resource assets which spill over cannot support the benefit of the country, instead being followed by bitterness? This problem is very complex and must be searched for causes and solutions found. The goal is so that the Indonesian state does not go bankrupt and become a country that runs aground. Indonesia is entangled in the wave of globalization which is pulling slowly into the valley of destruction. Globalization is sown through these agencies using "nirvana" propaganda for the newly developing countries, including Indonesia. Because, in principle, globalization is nothing more than a camouflage for the expansion of international capitalism which always creates new targets. The collapse caused by the scour of globalization is a historical crisis of authority and extortion of one state to another. One of the fruits of the squeezing of economic globalization is that many laws have a neoliberal flavor. It is clear that the law provides space for international companies to participate in making a profit in Indonesia. Starting from 1999-2012, there were at least 39 laws that led to liberalization. One of the effects of the direction of opening up to foreign capital is that it dominates the agricultural sector. In 2011, foreign investment was dominated by 4 countries: Singapore, the United States, Japan and the UK, covering mining, electricity, gas, water, transportation and agriculture.

Economic globalization has directly influenced local dynamics and ensured that city competitiveness, which is a new form of competition, takes its place in the literature. Although there are many studies on urban competitiveness, contribution of local and regional authorities to city competitiveness is still an important research gap. This paper focused on the concept of “export” as an indicator of competitiveness and cities in Turkey were subjected to analysis using TOPSIS method based on export values between 2015 and 2017. According to the results of the analysis, top ten cities are Istanbul, Izmir, Bursa, Gaziantep, Kocaeli, Trabzon, Mersin, Ankara, Manisa and Hatay, respectively. Content analysis was also conducted to find out whether there is an emphasis on competitiveness in Strategic and Regional Plans created by local and regional authorities such as the municipality, chamber of commerce and industry, and regional development agency., Ekonomik globalleşme, yerel dinamikleri doğrudan etkilemiş ve rekabetin yeni bir formu olan kent rekabetçiliğinin literatürde kendisine yer bulmasını sağlamıştır. Kent rekabetçiliğine yönelik çalışmalar yapılmış olmasına rağmen, yerel ve bölgesel otoritelerin kent rekabetçiliğine olan katkıları hâlâ önemli bir araştırma boşluğudur. Bu çalışmada, rekabetçilik göstergesi olarak “ihracat” kavramına odaklanılmış ve Türkiye’deki kentler 2015-2017 yılları arasındaki ihracat değerlerine göre TOPSIS yöntemi ile analize tabi tutulmuştur. İlk on sırayı İstanbul, İzmir, Bursa, Gaziantep, Kocaeli, Trabzon, Mersin, Ankara, Manisa ve Hatay illeri paylaşmaktadır. Bu illerin belediye, ticaret-sanayi odası ve bölgesel kalkınma ajansı gibi otoriteleri tarafından hazırlanan Stratejik/Bölge Planlarında rekabetçiliğe ilişkin vurgular içerik analizi ile irdelenmiştir.

Economic globalization makes the competition among organizations increasingly fierce, and the “dependence relationship” among organizations is of particular importance. It is found that the influence of relationship learning (based on organizational relationships) on the technological innovation of organizations has become increasingly prominent. Artificial intelligence (AI) technology, as a subversive emerging technology which is rapidly globalizing, is currently in a high-speed development stage. China’s AI technology is showing a trend of rapid development in the civilian market, and its application in the military field has also risen as the country’s top-level strategic goal. At present, the research and development (R&D) system in the military and civilian markets is relatively independent, and the development of AI technology in civil and military applications is not balanced. This will hinder the AI technology innovation in the future. To promote the balanced development of AI technology in both military and civilian applications, it is necessary to establish a new organizational relationship of “integrated development” among military and civilian R&D organizations. The relationship learning based on “integrated development” will help organizations quickly open up the information sharing channels, rapidly improve the ability of common understanding, promote the continuous improvement of relationship memory, and provide favorable support for promoting the innovation and development of AI technology in China.

With the development of economic globalization, the competition among enterprises is increasingly fierce. Therefore, companies need close information sharing to realize the integration of supply chain. This article aims to study the collaborative management and information sharing mechanism of supply chain inventory based on cloud computing and 5G Internet of Things. This article first introduces the theory and methods of collaborative supply chain management and the information exchange mechanism and then discusses the problem of information sharing in the supply chain, that is, the bullwhip phenomenon, and then from the demand forecast, supply chain structure, time lag, and shortage game, six aspects are analyzed. The cause of the bullwhip phenomenon is analyzed. Secondly, this article proposes a quantitative analysis of the bullwhip effect, establishes a mathematical model of the bullwhip effect in the supply chain, and uses quantitative analysis to analyze the value of information sharing in the supply chain. Finally, this article uses cloud computing technology to build a supply chain information collaboration system architecture and uses EPC Internet of Things to build a supply chain information sharing model and describes the entire operation process of the supply chain. The experimental results of this paper show that the application of cloud computing technology to supply chain management establishes a system platform for supply chain information sharing, improves the overall operational efficiency of supply chain management, and realizes supply chain information sharing and business collaboration. In addition, the operating costs and risks of each node enterprise in the supply chain are reduced by 12% compared with the nonsharing situation, which also shows that the overall benefits of the supply chain have been correspondingly improved and market competitiveness has been enhanced.

Using panel data from 1990-2015 for selected BRICS (Brazil, India, China and South Africa) countries, the study empirically evaluates the role of primary and secondary education levels in curbing carbon emissions along with incorporating the changes in the pattern of energy consumption based on renewable and non-renewable energy consumption, real economic growth, urbanization and economic globalization as additional determinants in per capita CO2 emission function. Using random effect and system GMM techniques, the study reveals that primary education and non-renewable energy consumption along with total energy consumption, economic growth and globalization contribute to rising carbon emissions, whereas secondary education, urbanization and renewable energy consumption contribute to improving environmental quality via reducing carbon emissions. From a policy perspective, it suggests that policymakers and governments should put more efforts in promoting investment on higher education levels and expand green cities-driven urbanization, incentivize the society for a massive switch from adoption of non-renewable energy to renewable energy for economic activities in order to achieve sustainable environmental quality in emerging economies.

Under the trend of economic globalization, intelligent manufacturing has attracted a lot of attention from academic and industry. Related enabling technologies make manufacturing industry more intelligent. As one of the key technologies in artificial intelligence, big data driven analysis improves the market competitiveness of manufacturing industry by mining the hidden knowledge value and potential ability of industrial big data, and helps enterprise leaders make wise decisions in various complex manufacturing environments. This paper provides a theoretical analysis basis for big data-driven technology to guide decision-making in intelligent manufacturing, fully demonstrating the practicability of big data-driven technology in the intelligent manufacturing industry, including key advantages and internal motivation. A conceptual framework of intelligent decision-making based on industrial big data-driven technology is proposed in this study, which provides valuable insights and thoughts for the severe challenges and future research directions in this field.

In the era of economic globalization, cultural goods trade has assumed a vital role in overall bilateral trade. It has become an emerging and transformative force behind socio-cultural-economic development and an important source of inclusive growth. Once virtually unlocked, trade in cultural goods is now fast growing with world-wide market openings. Trade liberalisation in cultural goods thus needs to be treated as a priority policy issue in multilateral and regional trade negotiations. Despite large potential of exports in cultural goods, Pakistan has been unsuccessful in realizing it. This is mainly because of lack of due attention given to it by the policymakers. In this regard, this paper makes a beginning to investigate the determinants of cultural goods exports from Pakistan for the period 2003-2012 with its 157 trading partner countries. The Gravity model is used to identify factors that determine exports of cultural goods. Six major categories of cultural goods are used for the purpose of estimation. Results indicate that size of Pakistan and its trading partner countries’ markets as well as distance among them are important determinants of exports in cultural goods. Specifically, cultural goods exports are strongly and positively influenced by the growth of the GDP in Pakistan, while the trading partner countries’ GDP growth negatively influence cultural goods’ exports. Distance, representing transaction costs and trade barriers, negatively affect exports of cultural goods; while colonial ties, common language, common border and land area of the trading partners positively influence the export of cultural goods. Exports of cultural goods to landlocked countries are lower than other trading partner countries.

Ensuring economic security is a guarantee of independence and autonomy of the state, an integral condition for stability and effective functioning of society. Given the development of the world economy, ensuring the economic security of Ukraine, which is the basis of national security, is becoming an increasingly urgent problem. The formation of the system of economic security of Ukraine takes place in the conditions of economic globalization, which can not but affect the national interests and trends of socio-economic development of the country. It is to address this result that the issue of regulating the role and place of economic security in the general system of public administration mechanisms in Ukraine arises. In today’s realities there is a negative trend of increasing influence of external and internal threats on the activities of the state and its management. The modern concept of state development provides a single set of requirements for its institutions: openness of legal and economic systems; transparency of the mechanism of public administration, its economic, legal and information support; protection of economic interests of the state, social protection of life and health of the population, etc. Improving the management of economic processes in the state should begin with the development of a clear procedure and mechanisms for identifying and neutralizing threats in the system, which will contribute to the development of effective economic policy, state control over the socio-economic system, objective prioritization of economic reform, etc. Assessment of the current state of economic regulation has revealed that the main energy of the executive branch is spent not on overcoming the causes that provoke illegitimate phenomena, but on combating their consequences, so it requires the development of effective mechanisms for public administration of economic security. Keywords: evaluation, public administration, economic security, state, methodological approach. JEL Classification H83, H44, E44, L51, F52 Formulas: 9; fig.: 1; tabl.: 6; bibl.: 33.

In recent years, Ukraine has been striving to join the European Union and has a strategic objective to establish itself as a successful European state with a competitive economy integrated into the European one. A synthesis of recent studies suggests that in the context of economic globalization and the openness of the national economy for each country, the problem of ensuring financial and economic security becomes extremely important. It has been established that financial and economic security is indeed closely connected with the processes of European integration and has a number of problems, the solution of which should take place at the state level. However, given the uncertainty regarding the duration of implementation and the effectiveness of economic and legal state measures to ensure financial and economic security, it is proposed to consider the development of ways to prevent possible threats and minimize their negative impacts as primary measures to create a system for ensuring financial and economic security.

Today, a regional economic integration is one of the main tendencies in global economic development. The world economic globalization is in the formative stage and most of the countries adhere to protectionism with regards to trade and economic co-operation. In those conditions, the countries opt for regional trade and economic integration. Mongolia is a country, which is not sufficiently enough participating in regional trade and economic integration. In 2016, Mongolia signed only one Economic Partnership Agreement with Japan. According to the trade theory, FTA is most useful to the countries, which have similar level of economic development. In that case, most favorable direction for Mongolia in regional trade and economic integration is the Eurasian Economic Union.

With the trend of globalization, promising development in China has attracted a growing number of descendants of Chinese immigrants who choose to return to China to pursue higher education. Furthermore, the cultural pluralism that accompanies economic globalization is increasingly changing the pattern of world civilization. However, this leads to new issues of conflict, integration, and symbiosis between different cultures among international students. To address a gap in the literature, this study explored the trajectory of how international students of Chinese origin transcend their identities and build intercultural identities during their higher education study in China. The study investigates 13 participants from different countries, focusing on the process of (re)shaping identity under multiple cultural backgrounds and how they understand this process. These findings show that for students to adapt to Chinese culture it is crucial to encourage them to mitigate language barriers, awake cultural memories, consolidate values, expand educational exchanges, and continue to improve international understanding and broad recognition from an intercultural perspective.

Did the Egyptian economy decline in the late Middle Ages? This article discusses possible causes for Egypt’s apparent decline: climate, epidemics, breakdown of irrigation agriculture, violence, weak institutions, and a failure to adopt new technology. It argues that the demographic impact of contagion, perhaps exacerbated by climate change, transformed Egypt. Agriculture contracted in step with reduced demand and the manufacturing sector outsourced mass production to Europe while concentrating on high-quality products. Primary and secondary sectors thus declined while the tertiary sector (international trade and higher education including numerous madrasas) thrived: by the end of the Middle Ages, Egypt had moved towards a fully mature knowledge economy.

Achieving sustainable development while avoiding further environmental degradation is a crucial challenge faced by society today. The African countries in this study have shown considerable growth, but still face various barriers to comply with international environmental agreements. This paper analyses the effect of globalisation and corruption on the environmental performance of 23 African countries from 1999 to 2017. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag model with Driscoll-Kraay estimator was chosen as most suitable to achieve the aim of this analysis. The main findings provide confirmation of the advantage of analysing globalisation through three dimensions, namely, the economic, social, and political, and through two measures, the de jure and de facto. Economic globalisation de facto increases environmental degradation, suggesting the relocation of polluting industries to African countries. Economic and political globalisation de jure improves the environment. Stricter regulation could reduce the level of corruption and restrict the relocation of polluting industries. Foreign investment attracted to these countries should be directed to achieving sustainable development goals.

Auditors of global supply chains play an influential role in determining what it means for manufacturing facilities to comply with both transnational standards as well as national and international labour laws. They exercise this role at the interface between the local context of labourers in a workplace governed by local and national laws, and the transnational context of private standards intended to govern global supply chains. This article utilises the concept of translocal legality to explore how auditors develop and deploy their authority and technical expertise to interpret questions about compliance with legal and private norms in global supply chains. It illustrates how auditors transform what it means to be compliant with legal requirements, and in doing so creates a distinction between acceptable and unacceptable types of risk to workers’ safety in the context of economic globalization.

With the development of economic globalization and the international division of labor system, countries are increasingly closely linked economically in various fields, forming a pattern of interdependence. This also makes the economic and trade barriers of various countries gradually reduced, providing a good opportunity for China’s agricultural products to the world. China is an agricultural country in the true sense, with the output of most agricultural products ranking first in the world. Due to China’s large population, the arable land per capita is limited due to the small amount of arable land available for food cultivation. In addition, China’s agricultural economy in the field of science and technology investment is less, agricultural mechanization, organization, automation degree is low. Therefore, the self-sufficiency of agricultural products is more difficult, the degree of external dependence is more serious. How to give full play to the advantages of the import and export of agricultural products in the context of international environment and solve the problems that always exist in the import and export of agricultural products in China is of practical significance for people to realize the needs of a better life and alleviate the main social contradictions in China. This paper points out the importance of international trade in agricultural products to the life of Chinese people and the adjustment of industrial structure based on the background of international trade in agricultural products by reading the researches of previous scholars in related fields. Then through the study of domestic and foreign related literature, this paper discusses the three stages of the development of China’s agricultural products foreign trade. Secondly, it analyzes the current situation of foreign trade of agricultural products and its export competitive advantages and disadvantages from the aspects of the structure of foreign trade of agricultural products and participating countries. Finally, a series of problems in the export of agricultural products in our country are put forward the corresponding countermeasures.

In the era of economic globalization and knowledge economy, how can enterprises gradually catch up with and even surpass powerful competitors? How can leading enterprises maintain their market position and create sustainable competitive advantage? These two issues have always been a hot topic in the field of strategic management. The success or failure of enterprise management is determined by many factors, and competitiveness is the most important and essential factor. In the new environment, grasping the formation and evolution law of enterprise competitiveness and promoting the sustainable and healthy growth of enterprises is an important topic to be solved in the research of strategic management. On the source of enterprise competitiveness, the academic circles mainly focus on four factors: Resource-based view (RBV), Knowledge-based view (KBV), Capability-based view (CBV) and Institution-based view (IBV).

Under the background of economic globalization, market integration, technology cross penetration, industry boundary and enterprise boundary increasingly blurred, the uncertainty of innovation and the limitation of single innovation subject's resource endowment lead to the independent innovation unable to meet the needs of enterprises to obtain sustainable competitive advantage. How to evaluate the industry university research innovation of these industries has become a very necessary research content. According to the social network attribute of the Institute of new energy automobile industry, this paper proposes to analyze and study its innovation network from the perspective of social network. Based on the analysis of the relevant theories and research methods of social network, this paper constructs the evaluation model of the innovation network of the new energy automobile industry, and then validates the model through experiments.

У статті досліджено ключові показники фінансової стійкості підприємств сфери гостинності на основі організаційно-економічного аналізу функціонування USG Holding та одного з наймасштабніших та конкурентоздатніших складників компанії «ТОВ «Сушия». Із відкритих даних проаналізовано основні показники фінансової стійкості, зокрема динаміку чистого доходу від реалізації продукції (у гривневому та доларовому еквівалентах), динаміку чистого прибутку (збитку), динаміку показників основних засобів та нематеріальних активів та динаміку поточних зобов’язань за 2012–2018 рр. На основі проведеного дослідження визначено, що ефективність фінансової та бізнес-діяльності підприємств сфери гостинності в умовах трансформації і глобалізації економіки країни, динамічності та мінливості економічного середовища у світі та в Україні зокрема визначається передусім його фінансовим станом. Обґрунтовано, що стратегічним чинником фінансової безпеки, інвестиційної привабливості, конкурентоспроможності та кредитоспроможності є фінансова стійкість підприємств, особливо в період економічних глобалізаційних змін, коли фінансова стійкість стає обов’язковим критерієм ефективного розвитку невиробничого сектору економіки України (сфери послуг). Визначено, що результати проведеного дослідження дають змог стверджувати, що обов’язковими умовами поліпшення фінансового стану підприємств сфери гостинності у ринкових умовах господарювання є постійний аналіз і своєчасна ґрунтовна діагностика змін, що відбуваються у зовнішньому та внутрішньому середовищі підприємства, а також вчасне й максимально ефективне реагування на зміни ключових визначальних показників фінансової стійкості. Визначено перспективу подальших досліджень, зокрема проведення ґрунтовного аналізу фінансової стійкості на конкретному підприємстві сфери гостинності з визначенням його поточної фінансової стійкості за допомогою методу комплексного розрахунку рейтингової оцінки фінансового стану підприємств сфери гостинності, з метою розроблення унікального механізму забезпечення фінансової стійкості, що базуватиметься на особливостях конкретного закладу – концептуальних основах, які включають мету, завдання та функції управління, організаційну структуру, систему забезпечення механізму, критерії оцінювання рівня фінансової стійкості, унікальну систему брендингу та систему комплаєнс-контролю.

Economic globalization results in unbalanced development and growing inequality between the centre and the periphery of the global economic map. This process is driven by the expansionist policies of the corporations and the financial capital, being in collision with the social protection system. Markets are good for wealth creation, but they fail to take care of the citizens’ social needs. Social justice is a public good that can be provided for only by means of the political process. Globalization fails to meet the needs of the ultimate beneficiary of the development processes - the citizen. The modality in which economic localization foundations were set in the development and transitional economies, did not exhibit clear development capacities in order to improve the global position of these countries. Alternative development strategies are required in order to keep the territorial integrity of the nation-state and radical reforming of the central government role in the process is a prerequisite. The main driving force of the sustainable governance concept refers to the participation, knowledge and information distribution and cooperation among stakeholders. Economic prosperity is dependent on the effectiveness in production, collection and use of knowledge in the economic processes. Economy converts into a hierarchy of networks and what comes out as a result is a network society in which individual or corporative capacity for participation and networking determines the socio-economic position. Knowledge - Based Economy (KBE) refers to an economy that applies information resources, technology and knowledge into the economic development processes. Innovations entail increased communication intensity and feedback among companies, academic institutions, laboratories, consumers. They are a result of a number of interactions and synergies of specific innovative systems that tend to expand outside national borders, ideally becoming global, incorporating numerous global-local connections.

The purpose of the work is to consider the features of the multidimensional impact of the consequences of the spread of infectious diseases on the economic development of countries. The author concludes that the process of public health exposure to regional or global new and endemic infectious diseases may have broader socio-economic consequences that are often not taken into account when assessing risk or impact. With the spread of international travel and trade, such events can cause economic shocks that go far beyond the traditional health sectors and the original geographical range of the pathogen. Intensive economic specialization and a broader division of labor, accompanied by expanding markets and increasing economic globalization, increase the risk of people coming into contact with sources that contribute to highly contagious diseases such as influenza and COVID-19. The adverse economic consequences of new forms or types of these diseases can be serious, taking into account the high degree of interdependence of economic activities in the modern economy. For example, the absence of workers from work due to such infections or the risks of these infections can disrupt production at the workplace level. Also, supply chains can be disrupted or disrupted by these pandemics, and in addition, they usually have a negative impact on aggregate demand for goods. This is evidenced by the COVID-19 outbreak, which led to a serious global economic depression. The occurrence and consequences of epidemics and pandemics depend on the nature and stages of economic development. The economic and social structure of modern society contributes to the transmission of diseases that depend on human contact or presence, especially those that are caused by airborne microbes or persist on commonly used surfaces. The study concluded that public and private stakeholders at the local, national and international levels should work together to address the economic consequences of infectious diseases, to provide informed systems and risk and impact analysis, and to promote cost-sharing strategies for prevention and preparedness where possible, and to evaluate optimal intervention strategies when necessary. Developments related to infectious diseases in today's globalized world require increased responsibility for preserving people's health and economic security.
