Relevant topics of the IWEMB workshop within the electronic and mobile business are studies on business model innovations, customer and user behavior, new concepts for entrepreneurship and leadership, user-centered design and lean startup methods, as well as the impact on existing market structures. Within this scope, the aim of IWEMB is to offer a platform for researchers in this emerging research field in order to generate relevant new insights and inter­national exchange of ideas. The fifth IWEMB was held in Wiesbaden and the sixth IWEMB in Leipzig, both located in Germany. 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.

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.

Seit dem 21. Jahrhundert hat sich die Gesellschaft rasch entwickelt und verändert. Das weltweite Wirtschafts- und Handelsgefüge hat sich stark verändert, was hohe Anforderungen und Herausforderungen an die Regierungen stellt. Diese stehen in engem Zusammenhang mit dem täglichen Leben der Menschen, insbesondere nach der Epidemie hat sich das weltweite Wirtschafts- und Handelsgefüge stark verändert. Diese Monographie ist eine Sammlung von Artikeln, Ansichten, Forschungsergebnissen, Vorschlägen und Strategien des Autors über die Welt und Chinas Wirtschaft und Handel im Laufe der Jahre. 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.

In dynamic investment calculations it is necessary to discount cash flows that lie in the future. In many cases default risks have to be taken into account. These should also be included in the valuation. The author's personal experience in the subject led to the tables of Risk Adjusted Single Payment Present Worth (RASPPW) Factors. It is one of the simplest ways of risk-adjusted present value calculation. For negative and positive interest rates, different probabilities of default, and periods up to 40 years this handbook contains the Risk Adjusted Single Payment Present Worth (RASPPW) Factors. The cash flow is simply multiplied by the appropriate PV factor (depending on probability of default, interest rate and time). A very good aid in study and practice, for the calculation and control of risk-adjusted present values.

O objetivo deste estudo é determinar a relação entre a entrada de capital estrangeiro e o desempenho do mercado acionário em países africanos selecionados. O estudo utilizou dados de séries cronológicas anuais de quatro países africanos para o período de 1990 a 2018. A abordagem Autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) para a modelagem da relação de cointegração foi utilizada na análise empírica. Os resultados do estudo revelaram que o IDE e o IPI têm uma relação positiva significativa com a taxa de capitalização de mercado entre os países africanos. O IDE e o IPI têm uma relação insignificante com a volatilidade do mercado acionário nos países africanos. O IPI tem uma relação negativa significativa com o mercado obrigacionista, enquanto o IED tem um impacto positivo significativo no desenvolvimento do mercado obrigacionista entre os países africanos. O estudo recomenda que os países elaborem políticas e padrões eficazes para obter mais capital estrangeiro para o mercado.
