The proceedings of these two workshops cover a wide range of innovative scientific work in the fields of electronic and mobile business from young and experienced researchers from all over the world.

Written as a novel, the book makes the complex concepts, issues and terminology of international trade understandable for students.  Professors complain that their students cannot grasp the nature of how some economic tools are used or how they work in life.  This novel bridges the gap of concepts with applications by use of a fictional story.   David Ricardo comes to life to discuss international trade theory and policy with Ed Johnson, a fictional American television manufacturer seeking trade protection from television manufacturers. Their dialogue is a sophisticated, rigorous discussion of virtually every major issue in trade theory and policy. To illustrate the positive and normative effects of international trade and trade policy, Ricardo takes the reader and Ed Johnson into the future to see an America of free trade and an America of complete self-sufficiency. The fictional element brings these topics to life so that students gain the intuition and understanding of how trade changes the lives of people and the industries they work in. The fundamental intuition of how international markets function including general equilibrium effects and policy analysis is provided.

All global countries are interdependent and all aspects of the global economy operate synergistically. The COVID-19 pandemic gave a renewed sense of urgency to focus on the synergies between supply chain, climate change, COVID-19, and sustainable development as they affect business in Africa and how what occurs in one part of the world affects the whole world. This book examines this synergy and the reciprocal impact of businesses, government, and society.

This book describes the linkage between the worlds of culture and inclusion based on the concept of intercultural proficiency (IP). It explains the building blocks of intercultural proficiency by providing a conceptual framework that combines and structures the existing knowledge base and extends it by incorporating the author's own empirical research work. The framework presents not only a comprehensive and universal model based on existing concepts but also implications for learning and teaching strategies. This book and the IP concept provide guidance for students, early working professionals as well as seasoned working professionals on how to thrive and succeed when interacting with different cultures. It allows us to think outside our narrow cultural boundaries and decode complex cross-cultural interactions. Thus, the IP approach can be applied in academic and corporate settings, as it facilitates potential for solution of the issues associated with multicultural workforces and global operations of organizations.

Die regionale Wirtschaftsintegration hat Anfang der 1990er Jahre in Afrika eine starke Dynamik entwickelt. Sie ist durch die Durchführung von Strukturreformen und den Abschluss zahlreicher Freihandelsabkommen gekennzeichnet. Die regionale Wirtschaftsintegration hatte einen bedeutenden Effekt auf die strategische Tiefe unserer Länder. Das Hauptziel unserer Studie ist es, den Beitrag der Handelsöffnung zum Wirtschaftswachstum zu analysieren. Die Analysen wurden für sieben Länder der EAWU über den Zeitraum 1990-2015 durchgeführt. Das geschätzte Modell ist das Fehlerkorrekturmodell (ECM) von Hendry. Die Handelsöffnung spielt eher eine katalytische Rolle, ohne notwendigerweise eine ultimative Determinante des Wachstums zu sein. Dafür ist es notwendig, eine Politik der selektiven Öffnung zu fördern, um bestimmte Sektoren zu schützen.

Das Gießen ist einer der wichtigsten Prozesse in der Fertigungsumgebung, um ein Produkt für die Bedürfnisse und die Zufriedenheit des Kunden zu entwickeln. In der Industrie werden viele Gießverfahren zur Herstellung von Produkten eingesetzt. Unter den verschiedenen Gießverfahren ist das Sandgießen das beliebteste und am weitesten verbreitete Verfahren zum Gießen von Eisen- und Nichteisenwerkstoffen. Die Hauptvorteile des Sandgussverfahrens sind die ausgezeichnete Maßgeometrie, die einfache Entwicklung von Modellen, die höhere Produktionsrate und die kürzere Erstarrungszeit im Vergleich zu anderen Gussverfahren. Das Hauptziel des Sandgusses ist es, ein Teil mit guter Qualität und relativ niedrigen Kosten zu liefern. Die meisten Kleinbetriebe stellen das Gussmaterial ausschließlich im Sandgussverfahren her. Es wird beobachtet, dass die Ausbeute beim Gießen nur zwischen 50 und 55 Prozent liegt. 50 % des Rohmaterials werden für Speiser, Anguss und Anschnittsystem verwendet. Von den 50 % entfallen allein 25 % des Rohmaterials auf den Speiser. Es ist klar, dass der Speiser mehr Volumen an Rohmaterial hat. Es ist notwendig, sich auf die Größe und Geometrie des Speisers zu konzentrieren.

Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit der schwierigen Frage der wirtschaftlichen Stabilität in heterogenen Währungsräumen. Ziel ist es, in der CEMAC-Zone die Wirksamkeit der haushaltspolitischen Koordinierung und der Risikoteilung zu bewerten. Zunächst wird jedoch das politische und wirtschaftliche Umfeld der CEMAC vorgestellt, gefolgt von der Identifizierung der Schocks, die die Zone betreffen. Anschließend zeigt die theoretische Bewertung der haushaltspolitischen Koordinierung, dass sie bei Vorliegen von Heterogenitäten wirksam ist. Die empirischen Arbeiten und die wirtschaftliche Unsicherheit dieser Länder zeigen jedoch, dass die Koordinierung, die sich auf die Einhaltung der Konvergenzkriterien konzentriert, ineffektiv ist. Was die Risikoteilung betrifft, so hängt ihre Wirksamkeit von der Tiefe des Finanzsystems ab. In der CEMAC-Zone haben sich jedoch Alternativen wie der Währungsreservepool als wirksam erwiesen. Es wird empfohlen, die Art der Koordination zu überdenken und gleichzeitig die Baustellen zur Vertiefung des Finanzsystems zu beschleunigen.

Sie wird mit Wissenschaftlern und Freunden aus der ganzen Welt geteilt, in der Hoffnung, ihnen nützliche Hinweise zu geben und gemeinsam den kulturellen Austausch und die soziale Entwicklung zu fördern.

The tax and revenue management policies and regulations of a number of oil-rich countries were briefly reviewed and compared to Ghana's oil and gas taxation and revenue management legislation. A key finding is the noncompliance of the Government of Ghana with the provisions in the Petroleum Revenue Management Act (PRMA), which potentially makes the occurrence of the "oil curse" in Ghana more likely. The research recommends that the Government of Ghana put in place adequate measures, underpinned by appropriate legislation, to enable the retention and investment of its share of oil revenues, and also deal with oil revenue volatility. The Government of Ghana should design a long-term fiscal strategy, based upon high quality, long-term economic and revenue projections, which includes a sensitivity analysis. The PRMA requires amendment in the areas of accounting for the oil and gas revenues, setting up safeguards for the use of the revenues accrued from the oil and gas sector, as well as ad- hering strictly to the priority areas determined for the allocation of the petroleum revenues. This will allow for robust provisions and safety nets to be enshrined in oil and gas taxation and revenue management laws, to safeguard the revenue inflows for development.

This book explores how the business transformation taking place in Japan is influenced by the digital revolution. The chapters present approaches and examples from sectors commonly understood to be visible arenas of digital transformation-3D printing and mobility, for instance-as well as some from not-so-obvious sectors, such as retail, services, and fintech.Business today is facing unprecedented change especially due to the adoption of new, digital technologies, with a noticeable transformation of manufacturing and services. The changes have been brought by advanced robotics, the emergence of artificial intelligence, and digital networks that are growing in size and capability as the number of connected devices explodes. In addition, there are advanced manufacturing and collaborative connected platforms, including machine-to-machine communications. Adoption of digital technology has caused process disruptions in both the manufacturing and services sectors and led to new business models and new products. While examining the preparedness of the Japanese economy to embrace these changes, the book explores the impact of digitally influenced changes on some selected sectors from a Japanese perspective. It paints a big picture in explaining how a previously manufacturing-centric, successful economy adopts change to retain and rebuild success in the global environment. Japan as a whole is embracing, yet also avoiding-innovating but also restricting-various forms of digitalization of life and work. The book, with its 12 chapters, is a collaborative effort of individuals contributing diverse points of view as technologists, academics, and managers.
