Digital Sovereignty, the Private Sector, and a Social Republican Alternative

The European Union has stated the ambition to regain control over the digital sphere, which academics have construed as both a push for digital sovereignty and as a form of digital constitutionalism. The strategy promises to be an improvement over the previous period of digital liberalism. I suggest, however, from a republican perspective, that this strategy of digital sovereignty is not sufficiently critical of the reliance on the private sector. A dominant private sector comes with a risk of widespread infrastructural dependency and yields too much of the digital sphere to a way of thinking that is shaped in accordance with silicon valley companies. On a republican account, these are arguably forms of structural domination. To prevent these risks from materialising, the European strategy should instead emphasize the role of alternative ownership models, such as those found in the digital commons and in public service media organisations.

The political economy of digital government: How Silicon Valley firms drove conversion to data science and artificial intelligence in public management

IMPACT The relationships between digital governments and private digital technology corporations shape investments that endure for years, even decades. Yet recent changes have been under-researched in public management and accountability studies. Until the 2010s systems integrators (SIs) were dominant, producing proprietary legacy computer systems that still shape government technologies today. Since that time, governments have become increasingly reliant on the online tools and cloud technologies developed by Silicon Valley (SV) firms and platform corporations. To keep digital investments in line with business and civil society progress, governments have had to catch up and innovate with the latest generation of data-intensive technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), and to adopt some SV organizational culture and practices in government. However, previous long time-lags in public sector responses highlight many lessons for today’s digital government change pioneers. In particular, the article illustrates the importance for digital managers of accelerating change in government organizational cultures, and developing the expertise to manage contractual diversity.

The domino effect of silicon valley Bank's bankruptcy and the role of FED's monetary policy

This paper examines the spillover effects of bankruptcy by important tech industry banks—Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), Silvergate Bank, and Signature Bank—on the top 10 institutions in the MSCI Bank Index and the role that monetary policy by the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) played in this contagion, using Dynamic Conditional Correlation-Exponentional Generalized Autoregressive (DCC-EGARCH) and time-varying Granger-causality models. Our findings show that the dynamic conditional correlations among the banks were higher during the period of the SVB crisis, implying the presence of financial contagion from the bank's bankruptcy due to uncertainty triggered by its collapse. Financial contagion emerges between SVB and the top 10 banks, and the degree of contagion rises during the crisis period. Moreover, the Fed's monetary policy plays a significant role in contagion due to bank failures. The deepening of financial contagion followed the Fed's increases in the federal funds rate to combat inflation.

Impact of the collapse of silicon valley bank on the banking sector: An analysis based on nonlinear high-frequency networks

We analyse the impact of the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) on the causal structure using a sequence of high-frequency transfer entropy networks. Calculations show that the event significantly affected the causal structure of the banking sector and that companies with high market capitalisation had stronger influence after the event. Finally, path-based indicators suggest that SVB had significant influence before the crisis.

Analysis and Evaluation of Bank Failure: Evidence from Silicon Valley Bank

As a matter of fact, bank failure always plays a key role in financial analysis, since this is usually the critical reason for financial crisis and systematical risks. With this in mind, the object of this study is the foreign bankrupt bank Silicon Valley Bank, which currently has huge impacts on global financial market. In reality, the importance of the study is that the banking system is not only related to individuals’ daily life, but also affect national economic lifeline and the development of the world economy. On this basis, the article mainly expounds some important reasons for the bankruptcy of silicon valley banks and the reflection it brings based on the data analysis. At the same time, the impacts on the US market as well as global market will be demonstrated. In the meantime, the corresponding suggestions for the bank industry as well as Chinese banks are proposed according to the analysis.

Risk Reporting to Management on Federal Offers and How to Navigate the Conundrum?

Technology firms mainly based out of U.S, in and around Silicon valley, in addition to a few firms on the U.S west coast, have products primarily catering to commercial customers across the globe, these are known as Commercial offers but there is another variant catering to the federal agencies and organizations known as Federal offers or Govt offers, the reason to keep this portfolio of products separate is because of the different set of criterias that need to be met and more stringent requirements. Since we are stepping into the government sector, the products in use for this sector have to be rock solid from a risk posture standpoint and in the case of cybersecurity threats hence the need for such criterias and requirements. Management and Senior leadership of these technology firms are constantly interested in viewing the security and risk posture of all the products designed, developed and marketed to customers, risk reports of commercial offers have no regulatory obstruction or confidentiality requirements hence it’s easier to present the risk overview along with the underlying details if requested , however, for federal offers, depending on the level of certification pursued and market access, there are some overarching regulations and confidentiality requirements around personnel viewing the metrics , storage locations. This article sheds some light on the afore mentioned restrictions and a simple solution or rather an abstraction approach that helps navigate this problem, at the same time, ensuring no impact to the federal product or its customers.

From silicon valley to silicon savannah: Conceptualizing tech hubs in Sub-Saharan Africa

Tech hubs (THs) and cognate structures are nowadays ubiquitous in the innovation ecosystem of Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries. However, the concept of THs is fuzzy due to the lack of a clear and universally accepted definition. This ambiguity is further compounded by the diverse range of organizations that self-identify as hubs, or are categorized as such by others. As a result, research on THs in SSA remained limited. Against the backdrop of established research on the interconnectedness of technology, innovation and entrepreneurship in different organizational forms, this paper is meant to provide fresh insights into the study of THs in SSA. To advance future research, first, it reveals what is special about THs in SSA and how they are related to existing concepts. I particularly argue that they contour a fourth-wave model of incubation. Second, four main categories are unfolded to delineate THs in SSA which is the cornerstone for future research.

Profit maximizing business model for electric vehicle industry incorporating fuzziness in the environment: Encompassing a case study from silicon valley of India

Electric vehicles (EVs) are among the most revolutionary breakthroughs by the context of decarbonization of road transport. The adoption of EVs has drawn increasing attention and is currently considered a potential route towards sustainable transportation. Businesses approaching the EV market must establish lucrative business models that overcome the adoption obstacles for EVs while assuring long-term growth. The intent of the current research exploration is to create a cutting-edge framework for EV enterprises that aims to maximize profit and save delivery time leading to high customer satisfaction. The volume discount strategy is used for profit escalation. The model presented in this paper is highly adaptable for a real-world problem as it incorporates uncertainty in the EV industry through generalized triangular neutrosophic numbers, an extension of fuzzy numbers. A modified version of the neutrosophic compromise programming approach is proposed in this paper. The results from this approach are validated using genetic algorithm. The proposed optimization-based framework is encapsulated in the form of study of a case from Bangalore city, in India. An in-depth exploration of two cases along with sensitivity analysis is carried out that helped in prioritizing some discrete customers and gave insights on which manufacturing site should be designated more focus.

Innovative cluster development across Europe compared to silicon valley

Methods. In order to reach the results of the conducted research it was necessary to apply the ensuing scientific methods: abstraction – which was employed to define the essence of the innovative clusters; induction and deduction – which were used to identify the root causes of European innovative clusters lagging behind Silicon Valley; generalization and specification – which om distinguishing between various approaches to evolvement of start-up economy. Results. The study has enabled one to put forward some of the recommendations concerning the remedies to the visible lagging behind of innovative clusters across Europe compared to Silicon Valley. For instance, it is recommended to increase cross-border cooperation and coordinate regulatory actions to promote venture development and scaling throughout Europe. The first step for this is to create a common corporate rulebook, specifically for fast-growing businesses. Another crucial recommendation is to establish fair competition throughout Europe. It will help new start-ups in their goals to rise up alongside giant corporations and compete worldwide. Monitoring competition with foreign businesses will also be essential for providing a safe haven for European start-ups to establish a worldwide presence and lessen the strain of intense fragmentation and rivalry within Europe. Novelty lies in broadening of the term innovative cluster in order to put an emphasis on the factors that exercise influence on evolvement of start-up economy under modern circumstances. Practical value is enshrined in establishing the factors that can have impact on evolvement of the innovative clusters across Europe. This may serve as a foundation for implementation of government policies aimed at ramping up economic growth through start-up economy.

The stock price forecast under the failure of silicon valley bank based on the ARIMA model

The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank on March 10, 2023, had a profound impact on the stock prices of many companies in the United States. This study aims to examine the response of other banks in the US to this event by utilizing the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model to forecast their stock prices. The research demonstrates that the ARIMA model effectively predicts the general trend of these banks' stock prices, with Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) values below 1 for four out of six major US banks. These findings indicate that the proposed method is a promising tool for managing sudden fluctuations in stock prices, outperforming traditional linear regression models. Consequently, this research provides valuable insights for investors and financial institutions in managing and mitigating risks associated with abrupt market changes. Additionally, the study contributes to a greater understanding of the effects of bank collapses on the stock market. Overall, the research highlights the significance of incorporating advanced forecasting methods, such as ARIMA, in analyzing and predicting stock price movements in volatile market conditions.

Between Strange and Familiar: Urban Change in Berlin

The post Cold War adage, that the German capital is “poor, but sexy”, has beckoned in a new age of consumerism. In the same breath, and in light of multifarious crises across the Global South, a sizeable population of émigrés continue arriving to Berlin, the site of their ‘estrangement’. Simultaneously, and as Berlin is rapidly transforming into the ‘silicon valley of Europe’, urban change is making the city less habitable. At this crossroads, one is starkly reminded that Berlin’s urban fabric is increasingly contingent on these crises elsewhere. Within this context, how can we readdress urban change in the city? In this semipersonal essay, I argue that, when the city is treated as a ‘heterotopia’, there remains no monopoly on the claim to its past and future. As the city’s future is mapped out, we are able to engage with the different political meanings and experiences attached to the city.

Stock market effects of silicon valley bank and credit suisse failure: evidence for a sample of european listed banks

This paper examines the short-term market reaction of Silicon Valley Bank and Credit Suisse failure in the European banking industry. Using an event study, I show that stocks react significantly negatively to those two bank failure events. The general drop in value seen in the sector is explained by systemic contagion, panic and information asymmetries and uncertainty returns. These reactions are reinforced or mitigated by bank-specific characteristics such as liquidity, interest margin, risk aversion, operational efficiency, and institutional ownership.

“Silicon Valleys” – i nnovation zones in the USA, China, EU, Russia, and other countries

The article explores the history of the formation of innovation zones – c enters of scientific and innovative development, their sources and activators, starting with the creation of Silicon Valley in California (USA) in the 1950s, the name of which has become a generic term for a large innovation center and is used in different countries. The aim of the study is a comparative analysis of the conditions and nature of the development of Silicon Valleys and innovation zones in different countries and in Russia. The methodology consists of empirical crosscountry analysis and comparison methods, allowing to identify innovation zones by the degree of influence (scale) on the economy and modern scientific and technological development. As a result of the comparative cross-country analysis, it is concluded that Russia has favorable conditions for creating an extensive “Silicon Valley”, especially in its regions that have large scientific and technical reserves and conditions for such development. However, such conditions and organizational measures are currently absent in Russia, which makes the comparative analysis of the impact of Silicon Valleys and innovation zones on the economic development of advanced countries in the world in terms of science and technology relevant. The article also provides an author’s assessment of the capitalization of unicorn firms created by Russians abroad, not in Russia, which confirms the need for work to create territorial associations of high-tech firms and projects.

Sexual Harassment in the Information Technology Sector: A Study of Bengaluru, India

Information Technology sector is thriving in India. It is placing India on the global plane. Bengaluru is a city of southern part of India. It is also termed as the “silicon valley” of India. The study has been conducted in the Information Technology sector in Bengaluru, India; which was earlier called Bangalore. Out of the 100 respondents who were studied, 50 were women. Most of them who were sexually harassed were younger and unmarried ones. The general studies conducted at different times and by different authorities have found the existence of sexual harassment in the Information Technology sector. In this paper, we are focusing on the study of presence of sexual harassment in workplace in the Information Technology sector. Harassment aggravates discrimination within the workplace. The paper has gone into several theoretical frameworks, through which sexual harassment of women in the Information Technology sector has been studied.

Topological phoxonic crystals for simultaneously controlling electromagnetic and elastic waves

We propose two-dimensional silicon valley phoxonic crystals (VPxCs) to simultaneously exhibit the topological states for electromagnetic and elastic waves. By rotating the trilobal air holes, the coexistence of topological photon and phonon valley Hall phase transitions is achieved due to the breakdown of mirror symmetry. Utilizing this kind of VPxCs, we construct the topological edge states and simultaneously realize topologically valley transmission for both electromagnetic and elastic waves. The simulated results using finite element method show that the proposed VPxCs have robustness against disturbances for both electromagnetic and elastic waves. The acousto-optic (AO) interaction in a topological waveguide-cavity coupled system based on VPxCs is further studied. Results show that obvious shifts of transmission valley of electromagnetic waves during one period of elastic wave. The proposed VPxCs allow for constructing high-performance platforms to realize highly controllable topological photon-phonon interactions with an ultra-small footprint size.

The role of Silicon Valley in modern geopolitical processes. Challenges for post-Soviet States

The present work is devoted to the topical topic of the role of technoparks in the modern globalization processes of the world and national economy. This is far from an accidental fact, since the specific structure of the modern world order poses special challenges to the societies of the post-Soviet space. The prospects for their development and equal participation in modernization processes depend on their ability to meet new requirements. In this regard, its driving mechanisms, affecting almost all states and societies, require deep rethinking and careful analysis. The paper pays special attention to the phenomenon of "silicon valleys", the role of science in the USA and the countries of Southeast Asia, and makes a comparative analysis of their specific features. Based on the data obtained, the degree of lag of post–Soviet societies will be determined, measures to overcome it are proposed, first of all, by reforming the educational system and science, which automatically put the human factor and intellectual capital in the first place. The work uses an interdisciplinary approach of socio-humanitarian disciplines, in particular, socio–cultural anthropology, semantics, structural, comparative analysis, on the basis of which the problems of post–Soviet societies are identified, modern modernization and globalization processes are analyzed. The work is aimed at a wide range of readers interested in the phenomenon of "silicon valleys", as well as scientists in the fields of politics, law, sociology, economics, cultural anthropology.
