Introduction. Economic globalisation and total digitalisation are the root causes of rapid progress in scientific fields. Administrative management is no exception. It is becoming imperative to make optimal use of the potential of the fundamental administrative management system indicators and to professionally implement, on a qualitatively new administrative basis professionally, management innovations, particularly Technical Regulations, Standards, and Business Excellence models. In other words, in addition to the deepening of comprehensive digitalisation, transformational changes are taking place in the organisation of the work of enterprises (organisations, institutions), which guarantee sustainable development and the achievement of desired competitive and reputational advantages. Materials and methods. The transformation of management schools, management revolutions, and the social approach to management and administration have naturally increased the number of subjects of scientific knowledge in labour administration. There are now grounds for moving to a qualitatively new level. To substantiate the progress of “Administrative Management”, well-known methods of achieving goals were used: historical-logical, abstract-logical, dialectical, cognition of processes and phenomena, dialectical, terminological, tabular. Results and discussion. The transformation of administration has been analysed. To establish the objective role of the school of “Science of Administrative Excellence in Management and Administration”, the main current features of the school of Management Science have been identified. The subjects of scientific research in the stated direction have been determined. The terms “digital technologies”, “potential of digital technologies”, “information and communication technologies” and “information and communication network” have been developed. The lexemes “basic system of administrative management”, “competitive advantages”, “reputational advantages”, and “coercion and/or encouragement of direct or indirect administration tools” have been thoroughly clarified. The following historical step in labour administration and the real feasibility of initiating a modern school of Administrative Excellence in Management and Control have been substantiated, as well as the objectivity of the characteristics of the new management revolution, namely, Basic Administrative Management Systems, total digitalisation, Managerial Innovations and Business Excellence Models, as well as changes in the specifics of the formation of the Capitalist stage of development of social relations. Conclusions. Due to comprehensive digitalisation and the formation of a global economy, as well as the russian-Ukrainian war and Ukraine's desire to become a competitive, reputable player in the European arena, the level of requirements for scientists specialising in the study of rational administration is increasing. The launch of the School of Administrative Excellence in Management and Administration, alongside the School of Management Science, will require the development of recommendations for building effective basic administrative management systems, taking into account the results obtained, actual resources, and the behaviour of internal and external environmental factors. It will help to convince managers of any legal entity that becoming a business leader depends on the business competence of those involved in production processes, strict compliance with internal administrative documents, and the appropriate use of a full range of administrative tools and management innovations.

Against the backdrop of economic globalization and innovation-driven development strategies, this paper examines the relationship between three intangible resources—human resources, technological resources, and relational resources—and corporate innovation performance among China's listed manufacturing firms, as well as the moderating effect of internationalization on these relationships. Findings indicate that technological and relational resources positively influence corporate innovation performance, while internationalization exerts a positive moderating effect on these relationships. However, no significant impact was found between human resources and innovation performance, nor did internationalization moderate this relationship. These findings suggest that enterprises should prioritize technological and relational resources as critical strategic assets for development, while enhancing innovation performance requires integrating internal and external resources through holistic planning rather than relying solely on intangible resources and internationalization.

ABSTRACT The study addresses the critical problem of examining the macroenvironmental drivers of poverty in developing countries, focusing on how social, economic, political, and technological factors moderate globalization's impact on poverty outcomes. Using unbalanced panel data from 25 developing countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, and South America from 2000 to 2021, we employ fixed‐effects generalized least squares (FE‐GLS) and system generalized method of moments (GMM) estimators to analyze the globalization–poverty nexus. The model incorporates religious freedom, geopolitical tension, economic policy uncertainty, and digitalization as moderating factors. The results indicate that while globalization broadly reduces poverty, its impact is conditional on the macroenvironment. Economic policy uncertainty positively and significantly moderates the relationship, indicating that globalization may exacerbate poverty during intensified policy volatility. Similarly, the moderating effect of internet use is positive and significant, revealing a digital divide where unequal access to digitalization heightens vulnerability among the poor. Other macroenvironmental factors, religious freedom, geopolitical tension, and fixed broadband subscription also exert positive but statistically insignificant influence on the globalization–poverty nexus. Furthermore, our results indicate that economic growth significantly reduces the poverty gap but not the headcount ratio, highlighting that growth alone is insufficient for lifting households above the poverty line, especially with the prevalence of the poverty trap. The result further underscores the importance of human capital in enabling individuals to harness globalization benefits. Overall, the study highlights that macroenvironmental conditions shape how globalization influences poverty and offers actionable policy insights for sustainable and inclusive development in developing countries.

ABSTRACT Achieving sustainable development remains a central objective in contemporary policy discourse, with the transformation of production systems toward greener, low-emission alternatives emerging as a major priority for governments aiming to address environmental issues. As a result, green production processes have gained strategic relevance; however, the empirical insight into the environmental implications of green production processes, particularly in advanced economies remains limited. This study’s objective addresses this gap by exploring the impact of green production processes, energy transition and environmental policy stringency on sustainable development, measured by the load capacity factor (LCAP), in G7 nations. Using panel estimators complemented by distribution-sensitive checks, their empirical findings establish that green production processes, energy transitions and economic globalization significantly contribute to LCAP, suggesting that the improvement in ecological sustainability can be achieved through the promotion of green industrial practices, economic globalization and energy transition initiatives. Meanwhile, environmental policy stringency exhibits a negative impact on ecological quality in G7 nations. Furthermore, the result of the causality test shows that green production processes, energy transition, environmental policy stringency, and economic globalization play important roles in influencing LCAP, with environmental policy stringency also being shaped by feedback effects from LCAP. We offer valuable policy insights for policymakers and stakeholders seeking to advance sustainable development objectives.

Purpose. Establishing the link between the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and inclusive growth, taking into account the concept of Pareto improvement. Methodology. The study adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative analysis with qualitative evaluation, to assess how the BRI influences inclusive growth at national and regional levels. Findings. Existing research shows a growing intersection between inclusive growth theory and the economic effects of the BRI. Empirical results suggest that BRI participation is associated with shifts in GDP, inequality, trade volume, infrastructure investment, and social development. However, benefits of the BRI initiative are unevenly distributed across regions. Case studies also demonstrate significant variation in economic impact depending on the region. Thematic studies reveal regional differences: for instance, Kazakhstan, Southeast Asian, and African countries report varying outcomes depending on project scale, sector, and governance. Comparisons between BRI and non-BRI countries suggest higher gains for the former, though the results represent optimistic estimates rather than guarantees of Pareto optimality. Originality. This study introduces a unique framework by interpreting the BRI as a model of inclusive globalization rooted in Pareto improvement. In contrast to traditional development models, the BRI is positioned as a mechanism fostering open, inclusive, fair, balanced and mutually beneficial economic globalisation. The study offers a new perspective, according to which the BRI initiative improves the welfare of participating countries without worsening the economic situation of other states. Thus, the Belt and Road Initiative is seen as a global mechanism for achieving Pareto improvement, promoting inclusive growth without compromising third parties. Practical value. The work has practical value due to its evaluating the BRI through the lens of Pareto improvement, highlighting its potential in promoting global inclusive growth. Based on empirical data and real-life examples, the study demonstrates how the initiative contributes to economic development, the reduction of regional disparities, and international cooperation. Importantly, these benefits are achieved without harming any participating country, making the initiative an example of mutually beneficial economic integration and an effective policy tool for global development.

With the advancement of economic globalization and the booming tourism industry, the hotel sector, as a crucial component of the service industry, faces increasingly fierce competition. According to relevant data, the number of hotels has continued to grow in recent years, while market saturation has gradually increased. In 2023 alone, there were 343,545 accommodation facilities nationwide with over 15 rooms each, totaling 17,321,745 guest rooms. Under such market conditions, competition among hotels has intensified, making it imperative for every hotel operator to consider how to stand out among numerous competitors. In the fiercely competitive hotel market, service innovation has become the key to hotels gaining a competitive advantage. Customer satisfaction, as an important indicator for measuring the quality of hotel services and business performance, is directly related to the hotel's reputation, return rate, and market competitiveness. Service quality plays a crucial mediating role between hotel service innovation and customer satisfaction. High quality service is the foundation for achieving service innovation and the key to improving customer satisfaction.

Ideological security is an integral part of national security and constitutes the spiritual foundation of the Partys governance. Marxism has always been the dominant ideology in China. Nevertheless, with the trends of economic globalization and the rise of the internet, amid profound global transformations unseen in a century, the international environment has grown increasingly complex. The diversification of social ideologies exerts significant influence on university students cognition, values, and political beliefs. Doctrines such as individualism, utilitarianism, hedonism, and populism in Western societies may easily lead to devaluation and demoralization of thought and behavior. Universities, as institutions that preserve culture, provide education, and serve society, shoulder the responsibility of safeguarding national culture and ideological security and represent a vital stronghold for promoting the socialist mainstream ideology. Ideological and political theory education in universities is a key measure to safeguard ideological security in China. The construction of ideological and political theory courses is of great practical significance for implementing the nations ideological policies and ensuring their security. It constitutes an essential component of ideological and political work in higher education and carries the mission of cultivating builders and successors of socialist modernization. Within this process, the core link lies in the discourse system of ideological and political teaching, which directly shapes the effectiveness and sustainability of these courses and related work.

This paper explores the principle of sustainability in the context of atypical jobs, with a particular emphasis on app-based drivers. This study begins by examining the principle of sustainability, its origins, and its applicability within Labor Law. It then delves into the growing trend of atypical work in the modern era, a phenomenon driven by economic globalization and technological advancements. The latter part of this research narrows its focus to app-based drivers, specifically Uber drivers, and discusses the efforts made by the Brazilian legislative and judiciary branches to enhance labor and social security protections. In this context, this study also examines Brazilian Complementary Law Project 12/24 and despite its normative text assuring a minimum workday, pay per hour worked, social security rights, and union organization, its approval could potentially increase Uber service prices, diminish workers’ pay, and eradicate their work schedules. The research methodology is bibliographic and employs deductive reasoning.

With the deepening of economic and cultural globalization and the popularity of cross-cultural communication, Mandarin, as a key carrier of Chinese culture, has become increasingly important for both domestic language education and foreign Chinese learning. However, traditional Mandarin teaching faces limitations such as difficulty in real-time detection of individual reading errors (e.g., missing reading and back reading) and heavy reliance on teacher experience, which restricts the efficiency of error correction and teaching quality. Meanwhile, with the rapid development of information technology, deep learning has shown strong advantages in speech signal processing, providing a new technical path for intelligent Mandarin reading error detection. Against this background, this study focuses on the detection of missing reading and back reading errors in Mandarin reading aloud, and conducts research based on the deep learning framework. To improve the accuracy and efficiency of error detection, this study takes the traditional Deep Neural Network (DNN) as the basic model, and optimizes the core Reading Quality Assessment (GOP) algorithm: first, it extends the GOP algorithm to the DNN-based error detection system, and modifies the GOP calculation formula by introducing the average posterior probability of non-target senones and weight coefficients, which solves the problem of unreliable phoneme segmentation caused by non-standard pronunciation; second, it addresses the issue that missing-reading errors of the current phoneme affect the GOP calculation of adjacent phonemes in the traditional framework, further optimizing the algorithm’s robustness. Additionally, this study introduces DNN adaptive technology based on KL divergence regularization to align the standard and non-standard reading models, enhancing the algorithm’s adaptability to different speakers. Experiments are conducted on two databases (MPE database for domestic Mandarin speakers and ICALL database for foreign Chinese learners). The results show that the improved GOP algorithm combined with DNN adaptive technology significantly outperforms traditional methods: compared with the GMM-CM algorithm, the accuracy and recall of error detection are increased by 13.4%; compared with the original DNN-GOP algorithm, the improved DNN-GOP2 algorithm reduces the Top1 error rate by 1.7% and the Top5 error rate by 2.0%. This study not only provides a more accurate and efficient technical solution for Mandarin reading error detection but also lays a foundation for the development of intelligent Mandarin teaching systems, which is of great significance for promoting the modernization of Mandarin teaching and the popularization of Chinese language education globally.

The impact of globalization on human development is widely debated, with corruption shaping whether its benefits are realized or undermined. While previous studies have typically examined globalization’s effects by classifying countries according to income level, development status, or regional grouping, little is known about how these effects differ across countries with varying degrees of corruption severity. This study examines how economic and social globalization influence the Human Development Index (HDI) in countries classified as low, moderate, and high corruption. Using panel data from 68 countries between 2005 and 2022, the analysis applies Fixed Effects, Random Effects, and Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS). The most striking finding is that FDI has a negative and significant effect on HDI in low-corruption countries—many of which are advanced economies—contradicting conventional expectations that FDI fosters development under good governance. This result may reflect structural challenges such as aging populations, the refugee crisis, and geopolitical shocks that limit the developmental gains from foreign capital. By contrast, FDI shows no significant impact in moderate and high corruption countries, where weak institutions prevent investment benefits from being widely shared. Other results show that exports consistently enhance HDI across all corruption levels, imports matter only in moderately corrupt countries, internet access drives improvements in all groups, and tourism contributes positively only in high-corruption countries. The practical implication is that low-corruption countries must align FDI with demographic and labor-market strategies to ensure inclusive outcomes, while high and moderate corruption countries should strengthen institutions to unlock FDI’s potential.

With the advancement of economic globalization and the upgrading of industrial structures, the value of higher education in talent cultivation has become increasingly prominent. The construction of “dual-qualification” teacher teams is a crucial link in promoting educational work in colleges and universities. Schools should attach importance to teacher training to adapt to the current educational situation. Under the school-enterprise cooperation model, building “dual-qualification” teacher teams for mechanical and electrical majors helps ensure teaching mechanisms and provides support for the reform and innovation of higher education. Based on this, this paper conducts an in-depth study on the construction of teaching innovation teams of “dual-qualification” teachers in mechanical and electrical majors under the school-enterprise cooperation model, for reference.

ABSTRACTThe profound effects of climate change on the environment and economy have driven significant global mitigation efforts. Among these, the European Union has been at the forefront, advocating for climate change protection. This study examines the roles of energy taxes, energy innovations, and innovative technologies in mitigating climate change across 25 EU countries between 1995 and 2019. By employing a cointegration approach with the Method of Moment Quantile Regression and Fixed Effect OLS with Driscoll and Kraay standard errors, the analysis integrates economic development, population, and globalization as control variables. The findings confirm the double dividend hypothesis, suggesting environmental taxes yield both ecological and economic benefits. The results also confirm the positive relationship between energy innovation and mitigation. Technological innovation indicates strong positive correlations with mitigation efforts. Moreover, globalization emerges as a critical factor, with its linkage to increased mobility of environmentally friendly production and consumption, but the magnitude of this association decreases, especially at higher quantiles. Economic growth and population impact are also found to be significant; however, population impact becomes weaker for higher quantiles. Robustness check validates the findings. Furthermore, causality analyses reveal bidirectional causality among energy‐related taxes, technological innovation, GDP, and mitigation. Based on the findings, the study suggests implementing policies that promote renewable energy adoption as a key strategy for climate change mitigation while structuring environmental taxes to incentivize sustainable production and consumption. Additionally, it calls for a tailored approach to ensure that globalization, population, and economic growth contribute effectively to mitigation efforts.

This article examines the development of accounting science in the modern era through an epistemological approach, focusing on the influence of globalization, economic dynamics, and rapid advances in information technology. A fundamental change occurred when the role of accounting shifted from merely recording transactions to becoming a strategic instrument that plays an important role in the business decision-making process. This shift indicates that accounting is no longer viewed as an administrative activity, but as an information system capable of providing added value to organizations. The integration of technologies such as accounting information systems, financial software, and big data analysis has brought about major changes in accounting practices, making them more efficient, accurate, transparent, and adaptive to the times. Through an epistemological review, a deep understanding of the origins, structure, and validity of accounting knowledge is obtained, including the philosophical dimensions that shape the framework of thinking and methodology in this discipline. Using a literature review method, this article emphasizes that the development of accounting is not only oriented towards technical aspects, but also towards conceptual and philosophical foundations that strengthen its position in facing modern business challenges. Accounting now plays an important role in supporting decision making, creating organizational efficiency, and responding to the needs of economic globalization.

Abstract This paper investigates the link between economic complexity and income inequality by addressing the moderating functions of institutional quality and globalization on economic complexity. The dataset spans the G7 nations throughout the years 1995–2020. Parameter estimations draw on Panel Corrected Standard Errors (PCSE). Two models explore disparity in income distribution. The first model addresses personal income inequality, second labor income share. Economic complexity, institutional quality, globalization, economic growth, and human capital are independent factors in both models. The results show that when moderating effects are not taken into account, economic complexity increases income inequality and decreases labor income share. Conversely, institutional quality reduces personal income inequality and increases labor income share. When we consider the moderating roles of institutional quality and globalization; the higher institutional quality reduces the negative effects of economic complexity on personal income inequality as well as labor income share. This result shows that the moderating effect of institutional quality helps economic complexity to distribute income relatively more fairly. On the other hand, when the moderating effect of globalization is taken into account, it reveals that increasing globalization strengthens the negative effect of economic complexity on labor income share and reduces its effect on personal income inequality. In other words, although globalization provides a more equitable distribution among individuals, it does so at the expense of reducing labor income share.

In the context of economic globalization and digital business transformation, the system of marketing communications in industrial enterprises is undergoing profound changes driven by market interconnectedness, complex business processes, and increasing demands for strategic information management. The formation of effective global marketing communications has become a key factor of competitiveness, ensuring not only the dissemination of information but also the creation of trust, corporate reputation, and sustainable partnerships. The relevance of this study lies in the need to develop a systematic approach to the advancement of marketing communications in industrial enterprises, integrating digital technologies, data analytics, intercultural competence, and corporate social responsibility. The main problem arises from the fragmentation of communication channels, uneven levels of digital maturity, and insufficient integration of analytical tools into decision-making processes. As a result, enterprises face information gaps, inconsistency of messages, and a decline in global communication efficiency. Addressing these challenges requires the formation of an integrated model of global marketing communications that maintains brand consistency while allowing flexibility in adapting to the cultural characteristics of target markets. The study identifies five key vectors for the development of global marketing communications in industrial enterprises: integration and systematization of channels (IMC approach), digitalization and analytical decision support, cross-cultural adaptation, content orientation, and social responsibility. Based on these directions, a scientific and practical model of communication architecture has been developed, combining strategic, analytical, and operational management levels. This model enables the creation of a unified digital communication space integrating clients, suppliers, and partners, thereby enhancing transparency, information exchange efficiency, and the overall competitive position of enterprises in the global market. The findings confirm that an effective system of global marketing communications in the industrial sector relies on the harmonious integration of technological, analytical, and cultural components. Such integration fosters strategic flexibility, strengthens interaction management, and forms a coherent brand communication space. Ultimately, it enables industrial enterprises to adapt successfully to the challenges of the global digital economy and ensure sustainable development in the international marketplace.

Purpose The main objective of this study is to identify the nonlinear and long-term effects of political risk on environmental degradation in Greece. It takes into account economic growth, primary energy consumption, and globalization to provide new insights that can guide the policy development process. This is crucial for achieving Greece's target of carbon neutrality by 2035. Design/methodology/approach Within this perspective, the study emphasizes the effect of political risk while controlling economic growth, globalization, and primary energy consumption; includes quarterly data between 1990/Q1 and 2019/Q4; and employs a nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) technique. Findings The empirical outcomes reveal that (1) there is a long-run cointegration between environmental degradation in Greece and political risk, economic growth, globalization, and primary energy consumption; (2) positive and negative changes in political risk have reduced environmental degradation; (3) primarily energy consumption, globalization and economic growth increase CO2 emissions. Originality/value No study incorporates a dynamic empirical analysis of political risk to identify its nonlinear and long-term effects on environmental degradation in Greece, considering factors such as economic growth, primary energy consumption, and globalization. To contribute to the existing literature and spark new debate, the present study aims to investigate the asymmetric effect of political risk on environmental degradation in Greece, using quarterly data from 1990Q1 to 2019Q4. The findings suggest that changes in political risk, whether positive or negative, help reduce environmental degradation, highlighting the importance of a stable political landscape for environmental improvement.

With the advancement of economic globalization, human activities have continuously disrupted the ecosystem, affecting its structure and function. On the basis of the characteristics of the spatial variations in ecosystem services, the systematic estimation of long-term ecosystem services and the analysis of trade-offs/synergies between different ecosystem services have practical significance for the coordination of economic development and ecological protection. In this study, we employed correlation analysis methods and spatial autocorrelation analysis methods to investigate the heterogeneity and nonlinearity of the trade-off/collaboration relationships among different types of ecosystem services (water resource output (WY), carbon storage (CS), soil conservation (SC), food supply (FS), and net primary productivity (NPP)) in Hubei Province. The results showed that: (1) ecosystem services in Hubei Province exhibited obvious spatial heterogeneity, with high SC, CS and NPP levels in western Hubei and high FS and WY levels in central and eastern Hubei; (2) the trade-offs and synergies among the different ecosystem services in Hubei Province followed obvious nonlinearity, in which CS, SC and NPP exhibited notable synergies, whereas CS, SC and NPP exhibited trade-offs with FS; and (3) areas with a high level of urbanization experienced severe ecosystem damage. The ecosystems in the southeastern and western parts of Hubei Province exhibited a notable synergistic relationship, whereas those in the other regions exhibited a trade-off relationship.
