Influence Of Digital Technologies Research Articles

A review of social roles in green consumer behaviour

AbstractDespite the broad interest and rapid increase in studying green consumer behaviour (GCB) from a social perspective, related articles have been presented in a piecemeal fashion and have lacked a review of social roles in GCB. Additionally, the research focus may differ from the influence of digital technology. Therefore, this study draws on a review of 439 GCB articles that focus on social roles and utilizes both quantitative and qualitative analyses to provide a general picture of theories, social factors, research topics and topic trends with a specific emphasis on the research differences between the traditional and digital contexts. The findings indicate that the GCB field has experienced exponential growth since 2014. Subjective norms, social influence, culture, marketing influence and social media influence are the main drivers of GCB. Eight research topics are identified, among which topics on the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and the theory of consumption values (TCV) maintained high popularity. Furthermore, the TPB is more prevalent in the traditional context in which scholars prefer to predict GCB using macrosocial factors, such as policy and culture. In comparison, signal theory and commitment‐trust theory have received more attention in the digital context in which trust is vital. Research interests in online platforms and green hotels have recently increased in the digital context. Gaps and suggested directions for future studies are further identified.

Fragmented viewing of movies in contemporary society

With the popularity and rapid development of the Internet, online video has played a very important role in promoting film and television communication. On the basis of online video, the rise of the short video industry has also brought about a huge change in people's movie habits. The fragmented aesthetics of movies are increasingly prominent under the influence of digital technology. The effects stemming from market forces are particularly profound. Marketization requires film production to take into account the types of audiences and to take care of the audience's spiritual fragments, and to be dominated by the aesthetic tastes of younger audiences, film co-production and distribution cross-border market operations, the integration of market awareness and national awareness, and the generalization of films. As well as the market-driven technology and the impact of technology on film narratives, these are all concrete manifestations of the market's impact on the fragmented aesthetics of films. The fragmented aesthetics of films not only liberates the creativity of the public, injects vitality into the market, but also weakens the artistry of films.

Where Does Digital Entrepreneurship Go? A Review Based on a Scientific Knowledge Map

There is more and more digital entrepreneurship emerging in practice, but research on it is rare and scattered, meaning that a review of digital entrepreneurship is important and necessary. Based on a data set covering 19 years of research, from 2003 to 2021, this article reviews 469 available articles from the Web of Science Core Collection. Using a scientific knowledge map, it divides digital entrepreneurship research into two stages, namely the “emerging stage” (2003–2017) and the “booming stage” (2018–2021). Research developed slowly in the emerging stage, focusing on the definition of digital entrepreneurship, the influence of digital technology, and antecedents of digital entrepreneurship. In the booming stage, however, digital entrepreneurship research grew explosively. This article sorts out the topics from three aspects, that is, organizational behavior, digital entrepreneurial ecosystem, and business model innovation. Longitudinal research, multi-case studies, mixed methods, and quantitative studies become mainstream, replacing the earlier single-case studies and conceptual analyses. The frontiers of research on digital entrepreneurship focus on digital entrepreneurial ecosystems, business model innovation, digital academic entrepreneurship, digital transformation, and the antecedents of digital entrepreneurship. This article proposes four future directions, including the interaction of digital entrepreneurship elements, the process of digital entrepreneurship with a dynamic perspective, digital entrepreneurship research at the community level, and digital entrepreneurship research in different contexts.

Мain Trends in Ukrainian Labour Legislation in the Context of the Digital Economy

Introduction. The problem of dissemination and application of digital technologies in the fi eld of labour has been extremely relevant over the past decade. The development of the digital economy inevitably leads to a profound transformation of the labour market. Traditional labour relations, the content of which is mostly indefi nite, are replaced by non-standard forms of employment, short-term employment contracts, fl exible working hours and performance, employees remotely from the location of the employer are becoming common practice. The aim of the article is to clarify the features of the transformations taking place in the fi eld of labour under the infl uence of digital technologies, as well as to outline the main trends in Ukrainian labour legislation in the context of digitalization. Results. The aurhor focuses on the legal regulation of remote and home-based work, the introduction of electronic document management in labor relations, including personnel. The latest legislative changes that contributed to the introduction of electronic employment record books and electronic sick lists are analyzed. Particular focus has been placed on the study of a new model of non-standard employment on the basis of gig contracts within the digital platform “Diia City”, introduced by the Law of Ukraine «On Stimulating the Development of the Digital Economy in Ukraine». Conclusions. It has become clear today that the development of labour legislation in Ukraine is much slower than digital technologies capture both the labour market and our daily lives. The digitalization of the economy challenges modern labour legislation, which should not stand in the way of information technology progress and the introduction of new information technologies in labour relations, with the advent of which work becomes less tied to workplace and time, and gives greater autonomy to the employee. However, there are other problems, such as limiting the employer’s interference in the employee’s private life, especially in the context of the employee’s right to rest or so-called disconnection (the right not to be in touch during non-working hours). Thus, improving the mechanism of legal regulation of individual and collective labour relations, revision of their theoretical structures and characteristics, as well as the problem of providing all workers, regardless of employment, including informal employment, bogus self-employed, working on online platforms, the minimum of labour and social rights in the realities of the digital economy is of growing importance in the digital economy. Key words: digitalization, transformation of labour relations, remote work, electronic document management, electronic employment record book, electronic sick list, digital platforms, gig contract, gig specialist.

Research on the Influence of Digital Technology and Policy Restrictions on the Development of Digital Service Trade

Due to economic globalization and the progress of digital technology, digital service trade develops rapidly, but it also faces challenges such as digital trade policy barriers, and gradually attracts the attention of all countries in the world. Based on panel data of 40 countries or regions from 2014 to 2020, this study empirically analyzed the moderating effects of digital technology and policy restrictions on digital service trade and the moderating effects of policy restrictions on the relationship between digital service trade and the other two by using a double fixed effect model. The results show that: first, the improvement of digital technology level enhances the scale of digital service trade import and export significantly; Secondly, the higher the degree of policy restriction is, the more significant the development of digital service trade will be inhibited, and according to the heterogeneity of import and export scale, the more significant the restriction is only on export. Third, restriction policy has a significant positive moderating effect on the positive relationship between digital technology and digital service trade, and only supports emerging economies according to the heterogeneity of countries. Therefore, China should strengthen its own digital technology construction, reduce the difference between China and its trading partners in digital service trade restriction policies, and actively participate in the construction of a digital service trade governance system under a multilateral cooperation mechanism, so as to promote the vigorous development of digital service trade.

“yeet nitro boosted”: A Postdigital Perspective on Young People’s Literacy Engagements With the Discord Platform

While the influence of digital technologies on literacy expression has long been a central concern of literacy studies, the proliferation of digital platforms across contemporary life has prompted increased scholarly attention to their influence on literacy. How, this scholarship asks, do platforms’ interfaces, algorithms, and business models produce particular formations of literacy, and what do those formations mean for ethical and equitable literacies learning and living? To reckon with these questions, this article brings a postdigital literacies perspective to data collected at the Giga-Games Camp, a video game design summer camp, where young people interacted with each other using Discord, a social media platform. The author describes how the Giga-Gamers and the Discord platform engaged in the mutually articulated platform practice of economics and argues that attention to such platform practices can help educators and researchers respond to the economic forces (re)shaping literacy in the platform society.

Development of the art market in Ukraine: towards the competitiveness of Ukrainian artists under the conditions of informatization of society

The aim of the article is to analyze the key features of the modern art market in the context of the digitalization of art, as well as to study the potential for further development and dissemination of online trade in art. The study concluded that the Internet and cyberspace provide new opportunities for artists to make the global art trade more universal and efficient, and for artists themselves to be more competitive in the art market. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that the authors highlight the issue of digitalization of the contemporary art market and the impact of this phenomenon on the formation of the competitiveness of Ukrainian artists in these conditions. The practical significance of the study is that the authors analyzed and highlighted the most significant changes in the art market in Ukraine under the influence of digital technologies that affect the competitiveness of domestic artists. The authors emphasize that the modern world market of art objects is actively developing and is reformed through the introduction of modern digital technologies, remains reliable for investment. The authors note that the market of works of art, as a significant part of world culture, in which such a social and cultural phenomenon as the art market, is a system of relations between creators, distributors (dealers, art consultants), and consumers of artistic products. are realized through commodity-money relations, and the biggest obstacle to the further growth of the art industry is the lack of trust between the parties to the agreements and their transparency in the art market.

TRANSFORMATION OF EXISTING ECONOMIC RELATIONS AND WAYS OF THEIR IMPLEMENTATION IMPACTED BY DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES

Abstract. The paper offers the author’s response to the matter of direction of transformation of existing economic relations and ways of their implementation under the influence of digital technologies. This goal is achieved by solving two objectives: (1) to generalize the existing methods of depersonalization of property under the influence of modern information technologies and (2) to clarify the directions of changes in two key areas of circulation of two objects of existing economic relations – information as well as financial and monetary capital. To ensure this, the following research methods were used: dialectical method of cognition, general methods of analysis and synthesis, method of scientific abstraction, interdisciplinary approach to transformation of relations around property relations at the technological angle. Based on the understanding of the specified “narrow scopes” of economic relations, the author defends the idea that today not only a large-scale digitalization of existing economic relations takes place, but also their virtualization both through digital platforms and ecosystems, and through numerous investment “mixers”. In the modern virtual and cross-border financial economy, impersonal property dominates. Among the objects of property, an increasingly important role is played by those objects of property that, firstly, reflect legal and institutional elements, and, secondly, those that help to manage, make managerial decisions and redistribute the resource. A working conclusion is made that transformation of existing economic relations regarding property under the influence of digital technologies is associated with a gradual process of their individualization with the simultaneous implementation of existing socialization of relations within the framework of the global economy development. The fundamental direction of transformation of economic relations regarding property is determined as follows: the processes of digitalization and virtualization of the economy inevitably and more and more absorb market entities and cause the transformation of economic relations of property, and this is an important condition for development of a global post-industrial society. Based on this, the author summarizes five main characteristics of information as an object of property rights, a modern tool for the accumulation of wealth and a form of wealth, which together distinguish information from other previous dominant goods in the past. Two directions of isolation of financial and monetary capital as an object of property that globally influences modern economic relations have been determined, and this, finally, made it possible to clarify the four fundamental characteristics of transformations in the economic relations of property. As an important fi nal conclusion, virtual values and virtual assets are gradually becoming a new factor in social development. New competitive advantages of private companies and countries are contained in their possession of modern virtual property. Keywords. Economic relations, digital asset, virtual assets, transformation of relations, property relations, information economy.

The Impact of Digital Technologies on the Employee’S Labor Function and Other Related Terms of the Employment Contract

The paper deals with the problem of the influence of digital technologies on labor. Main directions of the impact of digitalization on the labor function include improvement of the ways of its implementation and the change of its content in connection with the emergence of new types of activities related to the use of electronic devices and technologies. With regard to the use of digital technologies as new ways of performing a labor function and along with their advantages, the paper evaluates possible risks of large-scale replacement of traditional methods with digital ones, and determines the ways to minimize such risks. The influence of digital technologies on the content of the labor function depends on the way in which the labor function was originally defined in the employment contract, as well as on how significantly the labor function changes under the influence of digital technologies and whether its essential content changes. In addition, as an impact of digital technologies on the labor function the author raises the issue concerning reduction of employees’ functionality leading to redundancies. Examining the impact of digitalization on the labor function, the paper describes how the labor function’s change may affect other terms of an employment contract that depends on the terms of the labor function.

Post-Structural Model of IT-Journalism

Under the influence of digital technologies, there has been a total restructuring of contemporary journalism as a social institution and communication activity. The new phenomenon of IT-journalism was established, and, characterizing the form of its existence as a system, was based on the post-structural model. This is manifested in a change in sociocultural status; in the structural and functional transformations of media editorial offices and the journalism as profession; in change in the structure and methods of distribution of journalistic products; in diversifying of the “packaging” of content; in communicative inversion in the space of media texts; in “erosion” of the configuration and semantic structure of the traditional media text; in deviation from professional ethical standards of journalism. The authors of the article believe that the post-structuralist transformation of the traditional model of journalism is irreversible and in a number of aspects has enriched journalistic communicative practice. However, at the same time, they agree with the researchers who note its negative consequences that require more detailed analysis and institutional correction.

The role of digitalization on the interaction of judicial and notarial authorities in conciliation procedures

The article studies the issues of digital interaction between the court and the notary in the out of court conciliation procedures, which allows establishing new forms of protection of rights and legitimate interests of citizens and legal entities in resolving civil disputes. The author analyzes the possibilities of digital justice and derives the criteria for interaction between the notaries and the court when using mediation agreements concluded in a notarial form. The current state of the human rights activities of the electronic notary in certification of distance mediation agreements has been studied. The purpose of the article is to form an idea of new possibilities of the notary for notarizing remote mediation agreements and forming a promising platform for digital interaction between the notaries and the court, based on the analysis of legal acts and scientific sources. Among the methods applied are comparative legal, description, interpretation, and theoretical methods of formal and dialectical logic. Private-scientific methods including legal-dogmatic, and the method of interpreting legal norms were also used. The study showed that the remote execution of mediation agreements that have the status of enforcement documents, in the context of the increasing influence of digital technologies on the human rights activities of the court and notaries, is gaining importance in protecting the rights of subjects of economic relations, which provides an opportunity to reduce the burden on the court and save costly resources to reach consensus in a legal conflict for shorter time.

The influence of digital technologies on the development of students communication competence

The article presents the impact of digital technologies on the development of communication competence in students. The conclusions are supported by a pedagogical experiment on a sample of 266 students from 4 universities in the Republic of Moldova. The following were used as tools for organization and experimental analysis: the KOS-1 method, the parametric t-Student test and the non-parametric Mann-Whitney test. It has been found that the use of digital technologies in the process of developing communication competence in students increases the level of possession of this competence. Thus, digital technologies: facilitate and intensify communication, especially for shy, lonely and/or disabled individuals; maintain continuous interaction between interlocutors; amplifies collaboration; increases the motivation for human interaction; expands the area of communication; reduces prejudice; removes most communication barriers; contributes to the simplification of language; increases the speed of sending and receiving messages; offers the option of free communication with the interlocutor through total individual control (initiation, maintenance, stopping); cultivate self-confidence; reduces communication failures.

Criminal Law Protection of Personal Information of Citizens in China: Doctrine, Legislative Regulation, Enforcement

In the information era, the Chinese society lives under the influence of digital technologies, so the collection and analysis of information are no longer accidental and unpredictable. Digitalized private information poses a great interest, making it necessary to understand the interconnection between modern social development and crime counteraction in the sphere of personal information of citizens. The authors analyze norms of the Chinese legislation that regulate criminal liability for infringements on personal information protected by the Chinese law. This analysis was conducted from the viewpoint of the doctrine of criminal law, criminal legislation and law enforcement practice. The doctrine is presented through different approaches to understanding the nature of personal information in China; the authors also show the necessity of developing a concept of information criminal law and building a hierarchical system of criminal law protection. In the sphere of legislative regulation, the analyzed infringements include only three types of actions in the current Criminal Code of the PRC: illegal purchase, sale and provision of personal information. At the same time, there is no norm regulating its illegal use which is, in fact, a publicly dangerous act. The authors show the necessity of criminalizing the use of personal information with the purpose of building a strategy of its criminal law protection. As for the enforcement of the norm «Violations in the sphere of personal information of citizens» (Art. 253.1 of the CC of the PRC), insufficient arguments and incomplete establishment of the circumstances of the infringement often result in differences in the qualification and sentencing for similar criminal cases. The authors show that, to overcome these problems, it is necessary to clearly determine the elements of the objective side of this crime. They present ways of solving the problems of law enforcement arising during the qualification of infringements on personal information and the determination of punishment when passing sentences in court.

Transformation of innovation activity in modern corporate management

Aim. The presented study aims to substantiate the priority directions of corporate innovative activity in modern management in the context of structural digital transformations of the global economic system, which lead to the reformatting of business models of economic entities in the long term.Tasks. To achieve the set aim, the authors comprehensively analyze theoretical and practical approaches to the forms and methods of transformation of innovation management in the modern economy, and propose recommendations on promising directions for the sustainable operation of companies that provide competitive advantages of business in a single network space.Methods. This study uses comprehensive analysis, methods of synthesis, induction, deduction, and expert research using information and communication technologies.Results. In the context of the digital economy, it is necessary to create a flexible organizational structure of companies, since the goal of the top management is not only to increase the capitalization of the business, but also to form an image of the brand using the methods of collaboration, strengthening of horizontal ties, and intellectual capital in the digital space. Modern management is focused on the intensive development of big data technologies and makes allowance for the increased role of precision work with clients, digital marketing, and artificial intelligence. Justification of the IT strategy, correct description of business processes based on cloud computing, BPM and SBPM technologies, and development of open interfaces are key factors for the sustainable operation of innovative companies.Conclusions. The evolution of management under the influence of digital technologies has led to the reformatting of the companies' life cycle. In the long term, economic entities can achieve competitive advantages by developing innovative formats and the geography of customer presence in the network space. Cloud technologies, virtual space, e-commerce, web portals, and automated systems have a great effect on the correction of priorities of predicted scenarios for the development of business structures. Modern management is characterized by an increasing amount of investment of multinational corporations in the segments of technological chains with "mass demand". Internet games, e-commerce, centers for storing and processing information and analytical databases are the priority areas for the development of management. Intellectual capital, collection, storage, and processing speed of an array of statistical data have become a prerequisite for progressive economic growth. The transformation of the organizational forms of traditional business models has influenced the evolution of the role of companies, which are becoming an integral part of the digital ecosystem, since the ownership and processing of information and analytical data make it possible to ensure competitive advantages and to obtain the effect achieved by optimizing network interaction between economic entities. Companies on the core of digital ecosystems are adjusting their long-term development strategy under the influence of integrated management effects in a single network. The reformatting of management has occurred as a result of the development of new organizational forms of value creation within the ecosystem, which has reduced the consequences of external and internal risks of the world market using flexible and innovative forms of interaction between economic entities. In the digital economy, the high adaptability of network coordination and intersectoral interaction in innovation processes based on collective intellectual property has increased the effectiveness of management.

It helped identify the main drivers in the development of post-industrial society to reduce social inequality. Conclusions. Innovative technology is a driver of human community development in the field of Internet communications and production. In the era of digitalization, the production cycle is being modernized and becoming more efficient and energy-intensive. The percentage of using autonomous machines in industries, where human control is minimal, is increasing. Changes in the industry force the evolution of the society. The development of information technology has had a serious impact on the modern society. A large number of people have been able to elevate their social status, although many have failed to adapt to the new social realities.

The Effects of Digital Technology on Opportunity Recognition

Recognizing opportunities enabled by digital technology (DT) has become a competitive necessity in today’s digital world. However, opportunity recognition is a major challenge given the influence of DT, which not only disperses agency across various actors, but also blurs boundaries between customers, companies, products, and industries. As a result, traditional entrepreneurship knowledge needs to be rethought and the effects of DT on opportunity recognition need to be better understood. Drawing from opportunity recognition theory – as one of the central theories in the entrepreneurship domain – this study builds on a structured literature review to identify and explain three direct as well as three transitive effects of DT on opportunity recognition. These effects have been validated with real-world cases as well as interviews with academics and practitioners. In sum, this study contributes to descriptive and explanatory knowledge on the evolution from traditional to digital entrepreneurship. As a theory for explaining, the findings extend opportunity recognition theory by illuminating how and why DT influences opportunity recognition. This supports research and practice in investigating and managing opportunities more effectively.

Influence of Digital Technology on Ideological and Political Education in Colleges and Universities under 5G Era

With the advancement of digital technology, new means and methods are being offered in education to enhance teaching-learning. The use of technology in educational interventions has a positive impact on the students’ functional, cognitive, and psychomotor skills. This study aims to improve the teaching mode of ideological and political education (IPE). The research work intends to enhance enthusiasm of college students for ideological and political course (IPC). Based on 5G technology, the rising virtual reality (VR) technology is proposed in this study to improve IPC in colleges and universities. To begin with, the background of IPE and VR technology is introduced. Next, the current college students’ attitudes toward IPE and VR technology are investigated by a questionnaire survey. Finally, based on the red hero culture, the VR system for IPE is designed. Results of the evaluation show that the students who have been the members of the Communist Party have the highest degree of interest for IPC in colleges and universities. Endorsing the fact, about 29.7% college students and 26.81% university students who were members of the communist youth league favored for IPC, while only 14.29% of the masses showed interest for IPC. As a whole, 25.2% of all the students participated in the survey showed their interest for IPC. One of the main reasons behind the results is the teaching mode and means that attract students for IPC. At present, 84.11% of the ideological and political teachers give a lecture of IPC via PPT, while 67.29% of the students prefer the Internet platform as a means of IPC. About 73.4% of the students know VR and are interested in the application of VR to IPC. They believe that VR can help them understand the knowledge of IPC and has broad prospects in improving the teaching quality of IPE. The designed VR system for IPE which is used in colleges and universities has four modules, namely, the preamble module of graphic history, the hero wall module, the hero art sculpture module, and the scene experience module. This system can help realize the objective of IPE in colleges and universities and provides a reference for the application of VR in enhancing IPE.
