This book discusses the unique and unusual characteristics of the blockchain and the industries and markets affected by this technology in the Global South. Its main objectives are to 1) provide a comprehensive review of economic, health, social, political, entrepreneurial, and environmental impacts of blockchain, 2) present evidence from countries, industries, and firms to broaden the understanding of the contexts, mechanisms, and outcomes associated with blockchain projects, and 3) analyze the enablers and opportunities that can be tapped and barriers that may impede the implementation of blockchain projects in these economies.Given that in many way blockchain has a much higher value proposition for economies in the Global South than for their counterparts in the more developed Global North, it has the potential to make up for the lack of effective formal institutions - rules, laws, regulations, and their enforcement - as well as improve administrative aspects, such as maintenance of standards, monitoring and compliance. This work fills a gap in scholarly research and will appeal to researchers interested in the potential of blockchain to boost entrepreneurship, reshape governance, improve supply chain efficiency, and curb corruption in emerging economies.

The goal of this book is to improve the ability of enterprises to implement the green growth model and value chain reconstruction. China's environmental development strategies, such as carbon peak emission and carbon neutrality, have created new challenges and requirements for enterprises to "go green." In addition, anti-globalization and the complex dynamic uncertainty caused by COVID-19 have changed the operational environment that enterprises face. The application of new technologies, including the new generation of information technologies and the whole process management technology, provides solutions for the implementation of enterprises' green growth model and value chain reconstruction. Based on China's enterprise management cases, this book reveals the connotative features of enterprises' green growth model and their evolutionary regularities, the overall framework and decision optimization of value chain reconstruction under the green growth model, and the approach to implementing the green growth model and value chain reconstruction. The theoretical framework of the green growth model and value chain reconstruction established in this book has enriched and developed the research results in this field. Cases of enterprises implementing the green growth model can provide references for the green transformation of enterprises and help enterprises appreciate the synergy between sustainability and growth. This book can also serve as a research reference for scholars engaged in the field of sustainable operations, as well as decision-makers and managers of relevant government departments.

With current socio-economic development trends and changing work landscapes, modern workplaces are progressively becoming a subject of flexibilisation and hybridisation. Contemporary office environments are commonly adapting to the needs of the flexible labour markets by offering the non-territorial and rotation-based practice of allocating desks to workers on dynamic schedules. This book explores this growing trend by offering different perspectives on the benefits and challenges of the flexible workplace phenomena. Topics discussed range from defining and comparing flexible, coworking and corpoworking spaces, policies made in local environments, and the flexible working taxonomy.

This book is a useful resource for government policy analysts, academics, students of higher education and business practitioners interested in African economies and the key economic issues these economies are facing in 2020. In the face of weak governance and growth globally, there is still a window of opportunity for countries in Africa to build on not only their traditional industrial capabilities, but also pave the way for positive developments in international trade and in the way governments tackle poverty and inequality. By focusing on four areas: (1) agriculture and livestock, (2) consumption, poverty and inequality, (3) financial services, employment and corporate governance, and (4) economic integration, international trade and foreign direct investment (FDI), this book presents a series of empirical studies that examine important contemporary economic issues facing Africa. The book incorporates a range of methodological approaches, with some chapters providingcase study analyses while others embrace more traditional forms of econometric testing.

This book, first published in 1982, closely examines the Japanese investment in the industries of its puppet state Manchuria in the years 1930 to 1945. Attention is paid to industrial capital by source and type, facilitating the analysis of the relationship between the different investment components on one hand, and economic and institutional factors on the other. The course of inflation is also traced and its relationship to industrial investment studied. The Manchurian experience throws light on the volume of capital available through inflationary processes, the point up to which inflationary financing can successfully be carried, and the institutional factors necessary to make such a policy effective in increasing real investment.

Die Analysen zur wachsenden Bedeutung von Erfinderstandorten in den Schwellenländern, zum Patentierungsverhalten multinationaler Unternehmen und zum Einfluss von IKT-spezifischen Leitmärkten ermöglichen es, die wichtigsten Trends zur Verlagerung von F&E in Schwellenländer zu verstehen und den Ausbau von ausländischen F&E-Zentren zielgerichteter zu organisieren.

This book presents peer-reviewed, state-of-the-art conceptual and empirical papers devoted to changes in the international competitive position of the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region, its countries and businesses. While the unprecedented scale of transformation in the CEE region has provided a distinct research setting for international business and economics scholars for more than two decades, there have also been recent discussions about the extent to which the region continues to have a unique business environment. The region's economies have reached different levels of market development and modern business practice adoption, with some of them now frequently classified as advanced economies. Consequently, the same level of heterogeneity among CEE countries can also be observed at the sector and business level. The contributions in this book highlight possible sources of competitive advantage for CEE countries and firms, in light of recentintensive debates about the danger of the middle-income trap and the potential solutions to it.

Die Autoren arbeiten die verfahrensrechtlichen Probleme auf, die sich in den letzten Jahren für den Bereich der Verrechnungspreise ergeben haben. Dazu analysieren sie aus empirischer und normativer Perspektive, welche praktische Relevanz die Dokumentationspflichten haben, wo sich welche Rechtsunsicherheiten im Verfahrensrecht der Verrechnungspreise ergeben, wie gewichtig sie sind, wie sie sich reduzieren lassen und wie der Zugang zu behördlichem, gerichtlichem und zwischenstaatlichem Rechtsschutz verbreitert werden kann.

Anna Kolmykova stellt eine interdisziplinäre Forschung der SC Integration sowie die Entwicklung eines Integrationsansatzes für die flexible Einbindung der internationalen Partner in die globale Supply Chain (SC) vor. Wie erfolgt eine effiziente Integration der internationalen Akteure in die SC? Wie können komplexe globale SC flexibilisiert und gleichzeitig integriert werden? Das entwickelte Konzept eines Integrators bietet eine innovative, machbare Lösung. Ob internationale Luftfahrtprogramme oder globale Logistiknetzwerke, der gezielte Einsatz der Integratoren verbessert die Zusammenarbeit und eröffnet neue Kooperationshorizonte. Das Konzept des Integrators kann in weiteren Branchen und interkulturellen Netzwerken implementiert werden.
