Overseas Expansion of Chinese Winter Sports Science and Technology Enterprise Taking Love Ski as an Example

With the vigorous development of Chinese winter sports, the international expansion of science and technology enterprises has become an important way to enhance the competitiveness of the industry. From the perspective of the current market situation, Europe accounts for 45% of the global ski market but faces challenges such as climate warming, rising costs, and sharp decline in tourists, while North America accounts for 25% and remains stable. The Asia-Pacific region accounts for 20%, and China has the fastest growth. This market landscape provides opportunities for Chinese enterprises, especially in the output of intelligent solutions and operational optimization services. However, enterprises still need to deal with challenges such as market uncertainty, cultural differences, and legal compliance. In response to these challenges, enterprises need to increase technology research and development, establish a cross-cultural service system, build overseas branches, expand marketing channels, and improve business models. Taking Love Ski Sports Development Company Limited (Love Ski) as an example, this paper discusses the pathway for enterprises to achieve internationalization through strategies such as technological innovation, cross-cultural services, and localized operations, and provides a practical reference for the industry.

Leave or Stay? Exploring High School Graduates’ Mobility: The Significance of the Labour Market Conditions and Family Migration Experiences

Many factors determine the propensity of young individuals to migrate, with the local labour market standing out as a crucial determinant due to far-reaching impact on the broader community. Equally significant are the migration experiences within families. The article seeks to assess the influence of family migration experiences on the decisions of high school graduates concerning their future place of residence within the framework of the local labour market situation. The study employed a comparative approach, examining samples of high school graduates residing in districts of the Lower Silesian Voivodeship characterized by varying unemployment rates. A diagnostic survey, complemented by statistical methods was employed for the research. Our findings reveal a substantial impact of family migration experiences on the intentions of young individuals regarding their future residence. Notably, a higher proportion of emigrants within the families of surveyed high school graduates correlates with an increased likelihood of expressing intentions to migrate externally. The interaction with the local labour market context reveals compelling insights. The research indicates that the influence of family migration networks is more pronounced among young people in areas with low unemployment rates compared to those in districts facing a more complex labour market situation. These results suggest that in the decision-making process concerning youth migration, social factors, particularly those manifesting in family migration networks, play a pivotal role alongside, if not surpassing, economic considerations, such as the local labour market conditions.

Green bonds and financial markets: Interdependence across different market situations.

This study examines the multifaceted return interdependence between green bonds and various assets and markets (conventional bonds, Islamic and conventional stocks, Bitcoin, Ethereum, crude oil, and gold), covering various market conditions. Daily data are from January 11, 2016 to February 12, 2024, and the methods employed include quantile-on-quantile return connectedness (QQC), cross-quantilogram (CQ), and Granger causality in quantiles (GC), which allow us to make inferences about the safe-haven ability of green bonds. The QQC results establish that the connectedness at directly related quantiles is more pronounced than those of inversely related quantiles for all cases. The degree of return connectedness is highest with conventional bonds, followed by gold and stocks. Green bonds act as the net transmitter of spillover shocks to Bitcoin and gold markets, whereas it serves as the receiver of shocks from the remaining markets. The CQ results indicate that positive returns in green bonds significantly follow negative returns in conventional bonds 5 days later, suggesting that green bonds have a one-week lagged safe-haven ability. The GC from green bonds is bidirectional and mostly intensified in extreme quantiles with oil, cryptocurrencies, and conventional stocks, but unidirectional and visible with Islamic stocks during market downturns.

Problem of staffing shortage in the Ulyanovsk region of the Russian Federation and some ways to solve it

The article examines the problem of personnel shortage in the Ulyanovsk region in the context of current economic and political transformations. The reasons for the shortage of qualified specialists are analysed, which include both positive factors (rapid economic development and technological changes) and negative ones (demographic changes, industry characteristics, imbalance in the labour market and migration). Statistical data on the level of unemployment, migration, and population structure are provided, which makes it possible to identify the main trends and predict the further development of the situation in the labour market. Particular attention is paid to the problem of migration of graduates of higher educational institutions and their impact on the economy of the region. The article also examines the impact of international and interregional migration on the labour market and demographic situation in the region. Possible ways to solve the problem of the personnel shortage are discussed, including improving the material and technical base of educational institutions, adapting educational programmes to the requirements of the labour market, and introducing a multi-level system of control over the migration. The proposed measures are aimed at creating conditions for attracting and retaining the qualified specialists in the region, which in turn will contribute to its sustainable economic development.

Assessing the risk spillover effects between the Chinese carbon market and the US-China energy market.

Pollution caused by environmental problems has aggravated the problem of resource scarcity, and the destruction of the ecological environment by mankind has shown serious consequences. Countries around the world are actively launching various carbon emission reduction and energy transformation policies to face this predicament. This paper investigates the risk spillover effects of China's carbon trading market with China's energy market and the U.S. energy market from the first quarter of 2018 to the first quarter of 2022. This paper uses the optimal ARMA-GARCH to fit the marginal distribution of each market and selects the optimal Copula function for the calculation of CoVaR to obtain more accurate risk measurement results. The results of this paper are as follows. First, there is a bidirectional risk spillover effect between each market in China and the U.S. At the same time, the risk spillover is time-varying, and the extreme return brings more risk. Second, the overall trend of risk spillover from China's carbon market to the U.S.-China energy market has not increased significantly, but the risk of China's energy market to China's carbon market has increased significantly over time. Third, the risk spillover situation in China's carbon trading market is not smooth. Compared to the energy market, it is also more prone to violent reactions in the face of risks. This paper provides policy recommendations to promote the coordinated development of energy and carbon markets.

Determinants for the Decision of Delisting Companies from Stock Exchange: A Case Study of Tunisia, Egypt and Morocco

The Initial Public Offering (IPO) is considered a crucial step for a company, but its success is not guaranteed. This article aims to study the explanatory factors behind the delisting of a publicly traded company. To accomplish this, we have chosen a representative sample of 5 Tunisian companies, 5 Moroccan companies, and 10 Egyptian companies that were all delisted from the stock exchange between 2012 and 2021. Drawing on agency theory and signaling theory, we seek to identify the determinants that influence companies' delisting decisions. Three main findings are highlighted. This decision is positively influenced by: i) company-specific characteristics; ii) governance mechanisms; and iii) market situation. A theoretical and empirical approach is adopted to address this issue.

The Battle for Semiconductor Technology: The Tense China-US-Taiwan Triangle and Escalation's Hidden Threat

It will not be an exaggeration to say that the 21st century is hard to imagine without modern computers, cell phones or "smart technologies", the role of which and the dependence of people on them in everyday life is growing rapidly. Besides, the world is unimaginable without largely discussed 5G technology and its impact on industry or labor market, which together with the economic activity is closely linked to the military industry, the development of which is impossible without free access to microchips or modern high-tech components. Yet, while using different technologies, we rarely think about the ABCs of the production of its components. If we take a closer look at the situation in the current market, we will be convinced that they bear not just economic, but the greatest geopolitical and strategic load as well, that may be compared with oil and gas, however, the difference is the semiconductors can't be substituted by the alternative sources. These seemingly small squares hold a mysterious power so crucial to our civilization that stopping their production for any reason paralyzes the economy across the planet. In that respect it became especially obvious after the end of the Covid-19 pandemic, when microchip shortages have disrupted manufacturing processes and global supply chains; what's more, a number of high-tech industries were completely paralyzed. Therefore, the leading countries while engaged in the technological competition and marathon spare no effort and trying to expand their spheres of influence in the global production chain of semiconductors and micro or nano technologies. This article reviews the current situation in the world in that respect and how it is changing not only the world of microelectronics, but also politics. It focuses on how the pandemic and chip shortages have turned Taiwan's largely anonymous services company TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) into the center of a global battle for future technologies. It also shows the tense situation between China and the United States and Taiwan, and how acute and sensitive it is for China to "return" Taiwan to become the absolute leader in the production of microchips, not to mention security, because in the event of the deployment of Chinese military bases there, the entire chain of islands and the nearest water Space control will be secured. The modern trends of globalization are complexly changing the security environment and the future will show what happens tomorrow, however, we want to believe that all countries involved in the abovementioned processes will still be able to find common ground, which will ultimately ensure the prevention of new military conflicts and innocent life loss. Keywords: Semiconductors, “Smart Technologies”, China, Taiwan, Microchip Manufacturing, “Silicon Shield”.

Women’s precarity in a globalised world: an ecofeminist perspective

As French philosopher, anthropologist and sociolo­ gist Bruno Latour noted, “[f]rom the time the term ‘politics’ was invented, every type of politics has been defined by its relation to nature” (2004 [1999]: 1). When the exploitation of nature became a subject of profit and global political discourse, women’s situation in the labour market underwent significant changes, resulting in precarity and exploitation due to their perceived proximity to nature. This presumed connection between women and nature has been studied by ecofeminist thinkers, revealing its profound influence on women’s roles in the labour system, particularly in capitalist societies where diversity is often sacrificed in favour of uniformity to facilitate the sale of products to a global audience (King 1986: 184). This contribution aims to explore, from an ecofeminist perspective, statistics regarding women’s precarity worldwide, with particular attention to the situation of migrant women in the global North and native women in the global South.

Dynamic model of currency exchange based on investor behavior

In the modern financial environment, cryptocurrencies have gained significant popularity, becoming an important element of the global economy and financial markets. The dynamic development of blockchain technologies and decentralized financial instruments fosters increased interest from both private investors and institutional players. However, the high volatility of cryptocurrencies and the complexity of the mechanisms behind their price formation necessitate a detailed study of these processes. This paper models cryptocurrency exchange operations, analyzing price formation influenced by buying, selling, and introducing new crypto coins to the market. The system simulates investor behavior with individual parameters: initial balances, risk profiles, and profit-driven trading strategies over a specified period. The model takes into account the psychological aspects of investor behavior, their reaction to changing market conditions, and the impact of external factors such as news and regulatory changes. Special attention is paid to analyzing the impact of adding additional quantities of coins to the exchange at a reduced price during peak cryptocurrency price values. This creates conditions for activating trading operations, increasing liquidity, and affecting overall market dynamics, particularly volatility and price fluctuation trends. The study shows how such interventions can be used to stabilize the market or stimulate its further growth. The analysis of the obtained data allows for detailed observation of changes in the cryptocurrency’s value over time, identifying patterns and trends. Using statistical and analytical methods, the impact of different investor strategies on their financial results and the overall market situation was investigated. This enables assessing how investor decisions-timing, trade volume, and market reactions-impact profits and market dynamics. The research emphasizes the importance of a deep understanding of market mechanisms and trading psychology and can serve as a basis for developing effective trading strategies on cryptocurrency exchanges. The obtained results may be useful for traders, financial analysts, and developers of algorithmic trading systems, contributing to increased efficiency and stability of cryptocurrency markets. Moreover, the findings of the work can be applied to improve regulatory approaches and policies regarding cryptocurrencies.

Additionally, the FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) behavior among farmers has contributed to the increased cultivation of cardamom, further worsening the market situation. This study aims to provide deeper insights into the relationship between cardamom agriculture, middlemen dominance, and FOMO behavior, while offering solutions to enhance the welfare of farmers in Desa Burno.

Editorial: Labour Market and Unemployment

Labour is a key factor of production, enabling the production of goods and services. Throughout history, the labour market situation has influenced economic growth and development, and hence investment, productivity, income, consumption and society's standard of living. The articles contained in the next volume of the journal Studia Historiae Oeconomicae analyze the above problem using selected examples dating back to the 18th century. The presented SHO volume consists of eight articles that provide authentic knowledge on such labour market shaping factors as wages, ideology and politics, as well as on the activities of labor unions and charitable organizations under different political and socio-economic systems. The study of labour and the labour market has a heavy burden for both cognitive and practical reasons, since knowledge of the causes, mechanisms and dynamics of change in this sphere can help optimize economic policies regarding the labour market as well as become a source of inspiration for readers and perhaps further research in this area.

The different possibilities obtained melatonin from genetically modified organisms to phytomelatonin which are extracted from algae/microalgae or medicinal plants are discussed.

The future of translation industry: student expectations and real life

Problem Statement. The advent of neural network-based machine translation systems and large language models has brought significant changes to the translation services market, impacting employment and prompting concerns among students and prospective linguists about the future of the translation profession. This study aims to identify mismatches between the expectations of linguistics students and the real-life market situation to promote more realistic attitudes in students, and increase their motivation.Materials and Methods. In 2024, a survey was conducted among 122 Linguistics majors from four Russian universities. The sample was representative, with a reliability level of 66.7 %. The survey included questions regarding preferred types of translation types in demand, and the outlook for the profession, facilitating a comparative analysis with the current situation on the translation services market.Results and Discussion. While students have a reasonable understanding of market demand for various types of translation, their preferences do not align with the most in-demand industries. Notably, there is a low level of interest in scientific, technical, medical, and legal translation, despite these fields being highly sought after. Moreover, many students hold a pessimistic view of the profession's future, fearing that translators will be replaced by machine translation systems.Conclusions. Despite their awareness of market realities, students are reluctant to focus on the most in-demand types of translation. This reluctance is attributed to a lack of knowledge in the exact sciences and a distorted perception of the profession, influenced by popular culture. The study recommends strengthening career guidance efforts and modernizing educational programs to better align with market needs, as well as emphasizing the continued importance of professional translators in the context of technological advancements

PRICE AND ITS ROLE IN THE MARKETING MIX

The article considers the main objectives of marketing pricing policy. It is found that by properly developing marketing pricing policy, companies can form their strategic direction, establish relationships with consumers and improve the conditions for the sale of goods, which is an important part of the marketing-mix complex in the marketing management system. Price in the market economy is of key importance, because it is not only a means of exchange, but also an important mechanism affecting the production, distribution, exchange and consumption of goods and services. In the article on the basis of a number of works of domestic and foreign economists, as well as a number of legislative acts in force in our country, the definition of the concept of ‘price’ is given. It is determined that the price affects both the volume of product sales in the domestic and foreign markets and the level of profitability of the firm. It is found out that the main objectives of the firm in the context of pricing are to increase market share, strengthen financial condition, positioning of its products, sales promotion and influence on the behaviour of competitors. Firms may use pricing to realise individual objectives, such as keeping prices low to deter new competitors or to set prices in line with competitors' prices to ensure market stabilisation. Pricing can be used as a tool to maintain brand loyalty, to maintain business relationships with resellers, or as a measure to counter government regulation Prices can be temporarily reduced to promote a product or to attract new customers. Pricing for certain types of goods may be designed to stimulate sales of other goods within the same product mix, using it as a strategy to achieve the firm's long-term goals. It is proved, in marketing, pricing depends on the interaction of three subjects: seller, buyer and competitor, so special attention is paid to the analysis of external factors. The role of factor analysis in the development of marketing pricing policy comes down to the fact that the set price should recover costs and reflect the usefulness of the product or service for the consumer, as well as take into account the competitive situation in the market. Selecting and developing a pricing policy for a company is a complex and comprehensive process that requires an analytical approach, in-depth knowledge of the market situation and flexibility in decision-making. Pricing should be an integrated part of the overall business strategy to achieve long-term goals. In this article, we will look at the pricing process, which consists of six steps, each with its own unique purpose and importance. In a market economy, pricing strategy becomes one of the key factors in a company's success. Free competition confirms that every entrepreneur seeks to maximise their profits. In addition to increasing production volumes and entering new markets, an important task is to reduce the costs of production and sales.

A Study on The Influence Of 'She-Economy' Upsurge on The Development of Clothing Companies: Taking Anta as An Example

With the awareness of people's self-consciousness, the 'she-power' of female consumers begins to emerge. The upsurge of the 'she-economy' has become a highly-concerned economic phenomenon. Various industries turned their attention to the female market and female groups. On the basis of previous studies on 'she-economy', this paper focuses on clothing enterprises, summarizing the impacts of this economic phenomenon on the cases concerned in this paper through case study, literature study and event study, so as to provide suggestions for the development of the clothing industry. The study found that the coping strategies made by clothing enterprises in response to the 'she-economy' phenomenon have a significant positive impact on the enterprises themselves, which is reflected in the profitability, asset structure and female consumption performance of the enterprise. Whereas, inappropriate marketing methods may bring a negative impact to enterprises. Hence, enterprises need to exercise sound judgement when making decisions. From the market situation, it can be found that the women's clothing market still has a large development space. In the future, clothing enterprises can learn from the excellent cases in the industry, try to open up the female business, transform the new-born 'she-power' into their customers, expanding their consumer group. Other industries can also carry out researches on the impacts of the 'she-economy' phenomenon, learn from the development experience of those clothing enterprises, and enter the huge consumer market of women's business.
