Smile Curve and Its Linkages with Global Value Chains: A Sectoral Level Analysis | Chapter 8 | Contemporary Research in Business, Management and Economics Vol. 5

The goal of this paper is to shed light on how important the smile curve notion is at the sectoral level. In particular, we focus on how value added has shifted along the value chain when it comes to Asian exports. The idea and reasoning behind the "smile curve" in relation to global value chains have gained traction recently and have been examined at the level of individual firms. However, they are rarely recognized and examined at the sectoral level utilizing actual data for cross-national analysis. Using TIVA database for 2001 and 2011 time period, several conceptual value chain are investigated including exports of Base Metals, Computer Electronics, Electrical Machinery and Transportation equipment’s in Asian Economies. This paper focuses an idea to measure both the strength and linkages between producers and consumers of global value chain. The identified smile curve provides a very intuitive understanding of the roles played by different countries in various sectors and helps in identifying the benefits gained by them through their participation in global trade. ASEAN’s economic dynamism is expected to benefit from RCEP that will provide a platform for broader economic integration and help address concerns about the ‘noodle bowl’ effect of overlapping bilateral and regional agreements. RCEP will deliver tangible benefits through potential improvements in market access, more coherent trade facilitation, regulatory rules, reforming barriers and cooperation. The flying-geese (FG) theory of growth is in line with the dynamics of structural upgrading and interaction growth through trade and investment within a hierarchy of nations. The function of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership in enhancing economic integration is also emphasized in the report.

Global Unequal Production in Surrogacy Industry: Analysis Based on Cultural Anthropology | Chapter 19 | Anthropological Explorations of Gender, Identity, and Economics

This article reports on an ethnographic study of the multinational commercial surrogacy industry. The Surrogacy is an arrangement, often supported by a legal agreement, whereby a woman agrees to delivery/labor for another person or people, who will become the child's parent(s) after birth. With the globalization of fertility demand and market, more and more families in developed countries choose to get their own children through surrogacy. Under such circumstances, intensive ‘surrogacy factories’ emerged in some third world countries and the surrogacy industry has become an inevitable topic in globalization. This article focuses on the interaction between the ‘surrogate mother’ and ‘the client’ in the surrogacy industry. In particular, we pay attention to how surrogates rationalize their moral behavior in this process, and how surrogates' bodies are commodified in the globalized economic interactions. And also, we try to examine the racial, religious and class inequalities contained in this huge "gray" industry from the perspective of cultural anthropology.

Global Openness of Science in the Processes of Institutional Transformations of the Education System as a Factor in the Formation of Sustainable Development of Society | Chapter 1 | Recent Trends in Arts and Social Studies Vol. 2

 Scientific research is generally on account of the need to study the question of compliance of clever directions of university and allure specific instructional models accompanying the needs of civilizational progress towards a tenable future, harmony, mutual understanding, common respect and take care of the atmosphere. Globalisation includes the fusion of all countries with its own government' institutions, frugalities, and organizations (including those had connection with instruction and wisdom) into a distinct socioeconomic system accompanying the potential for upgraded governmental arrangement between ruling class.  In new globalism, an unoriginal homeostatic barrage-like model of crisis depravity of a humankind, reside line accompanying the principles of devouring, has happened made, ominous by falling wit happening beneath the fault-finding mark and consequently by ending of mechanics progress and sharp increase of humanness distinguished to births. Higher education is becoming more everywhere and globally joined, that raises a number of new questions for hypothesis and practise, in the way that that administration patterns, forms, and techniques are entire and that are distinguishing. The essential relation of the fundamental and functional characteristics of the uniform measure of worldwide transformations of experience happening must be recognised and conceptualised, it is pretended. Global uniform transformations are now happen for the tenable happening of society in the circumstances of the internationalization of university and erudition. One of the main physiognomy of the modern stage of incident of realm culture is the proliferation of all spheres of human social interactions - educational, educational, financial. Various concepts of proliferation are grown and arised.Science used to talk only about the internationalization of the saving, public and cultural history, thus. However, contemporary this idea has spread to all integral and uniform levels and constructions.Education organizations and establishments should educate by means of what to agree as one, develop abilities for tenable incident, expand critical thinking, share trustworthiness 'tween juniors and the education team. Education organizations maybe models of tenable lifestyles.

The Crux of the Orientalist Dichotomy: Decoding the Myths and Facts | Book Publisher International

 Based on materials pertaining to Oriental studies, this work sheds light on identity recognition in the context of Orientalism in the postmodern era. The Western society has been significantly impacted by globalisation, particularly the long-standing culture of self-centeredness. In terms of mental models, postmodern orientalism differs significantly from ontology and epistemology in Western civilization. An improved and more thorough understanding of the concept of the world process is made possible by studying Orientalism in the context of postmodernism.

Assessment of International Partnerships in Educational Institutions and their Intricacies: A Brief Study | Chapter 3 | Research Highlights in Language, Literature and Education Vol. 1

 The authors' experience with a failed international partnership is used in this chapter to highlight both the advantages and the difficulties of such partnerships. They also offer suggestions for the future based on their knowledge of local and international literature and their own experiences with failed international partnerships. International collaborations have evolved into a dynamic response to the consequences of globalisation and changes on the planet. The goal of these partnerships is to compete for money, students, researchers, and academic programmes among higher education institutions. The quality of academic programmes, institutional profiles, capacity building, potential for research competence, and the influence of research on policy and practise across a range of contexts are all believed to be improved by these collaboration initiatives. International cooperation appears inevitable, yet many of these relationships are hampered by complex legal frameworks and significant disparities. While it may seem obvious that international relationships are unavoidable, many of the current trends in these partnerships are supported by complex legal frameworks and significant disparities. The "Critical Theory Approach" was used by authors to describe the innate injustices that undermine harmony, cohesiveness, success, and long-lasting relationships. This essay contends that although international partnerships are still necessary for building institutional capacity, they are frequently controlled by the more powerful partners and are hampered by unequal power relations. The article comes to the conclusion that partnerships' sustainability is impacted by the absence of specific agreements. Institutions must therefore exercise caution in negotiating the forces that promote peace through official, transparent agreements and enlisting everyone's cooperation in order to prevent institutional conflicts. This article sparks an ongoing discussion over the nature of partnerships. In an effort to comprehend the distinctive features of this collaboration, the study made an effort to reflect on present practises.

Strategy of Sustainable Development Paradigm for Society in Research Activities Sciences, Artificial Intelligence and Institutional Transformations of the Education System | Chapter 3 | Research Aspects in Arts and Social Studies Vol. 1

 In view of continuous developments in artificial intelligence and their integration into the educational process, the article explores the potential for improving the global educational system. The main focus is on how closely future AI integration techniques adhere to the sustainable development paradigm requirements established by the UN for the next ten years. In the context of the study, both advantageous and detrimental situations of human contact with AI are taken into consideration. At this stage in the development of civilisation, this task is important. In addition, restrictions on AI application and development are necessary to avoid the unpredictability of a "technology singularity" and its unintended consequences. The social and humanitarian aspects of sustainable development are frequently undervalued while environmental issues are sometimes overestimated as solely being important to natural sciences. The theoretical and conceptual underpinnings of topics including global institutional transformations, transformative higher education strategies, quality concerns, personality-oriented strategies, multiculturalism, and higher education communication strategies are revealed in this study. It outlines the extent and quality of higher education's internationalisation, the creation of a worldview as a foundation for stimulating and ensuring sustainable social development, as well as strategies to raise higher education's social responsibility and increase its efficacy for society. There is now a dearth of fundamental understanding of sustainable development's objectives and strategies in higher education.

Prospects and Goals of Sustainable Development as an Integrative Basis of the Global Strategy for the Efficiency of Society, Education and Science| Chapter 1 | Research Aspects in Arts and Social Studies Vol. 1

 For understanding about the ecological, economic, and social components as a whole, interdisciplinary connections are essential. These phenomena are particularly significant for small countries and those on the path of intensive development or searching for a model of an economic and social intensification and institutional transformations for sustainable development of s, given that the phenomena of integration and internationalisation in the context of globalisation are growing rapidly and that their properties are determined by the laws dictated by the prevailing trend of global development.

In order to effectively exploit novel ideas and technologies, people in this circumstance need new knowledge and skills. Environmental preservation, education for sustainable development, global civic education, as well as other educational approaches and learning principles, lay the groundwork for sustainability in all of its manifestations. The educational process should build knowledge, competencies, and abilities as well as values and attitudes in order to empower young people to actively participate in addressing regional, national, and international social, economic, and environmental challenges.

Hong Kong SAR, China and BRI’s Globalization: A Review | Chapter 9 | Research Developments in Arts and Social Studies Vol. 6

 

 This article takes a gander at the distinctions and similitudes among globalization and the job of China on globalization specifically for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China (HKSAR). This article depends on research, perusing, interviews on globalization during numerous years and the writer distributed a book on the BRI in 2020. In correlation with the BRI, Hong Kong is a restricted space which was somewhat lofty monetarily; however the Shanghai Financial Center, opened of late on 28 August 2008 is a special spot in Mainland China ready to be contrasted at present with Hong Kong which as a significant monetary starting around 1970 arose as one of the fundamental worldwide monetary focuses situated in East Asia. At present after New York and London comes Shanghai Financial Center before Hong Kong. China's Globalization called OBOR in 2013, was supplanted by the BRI (Belt and Road Initiative) in 2017. This is a key worldwide new Silk Road for China and Asia, yet additionally for Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (China), Macau (China), Australia, Africa, South-East Asia specifically, and nations in Latin America like Bolivia and Venezuela. The new globalization of the century called Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a novel and worldwide method for helping the economy of China and reevaluate the Maritime and Land Silk Road of China which is 2000 years of age. The HKSAR's contribution in the Greater Bay Area isn't completely perceived. Macau is especially huge since it was the primary place of globalization in the sixteenth 100 years. China, the world's second biggest economy, is really a worldwide country, with Chinese individuals living on all mainlands. The job of the Chinese Internet is additionally critical. Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is a piece of the Greater Bay Area. China is currently making BRI, the century's new globalization.

Sociology in Various Contexts | Book Publisher International

 "Sociology in Various Contexts" paints a picture of today's rapidly changing world. Sociology, being the science of society, must investigate the ever changing world from various angles. The current globalising world must be constantly observed and examined in order to identify society's flaws and supply the necessary answers. Some of them have been touched by this book, but there is still much more to be done. Countries must plan for and research their societies in accordance with their national norms and values, however many nations are experiencing difficulties as globalisation continues. More sociological evaluations of such countries are required. Many emerging countries believe they are falling behind under such conditions. As a result, they are making significant efforts to improve technologically in order to integrate developed-country standards. In Asia, for example, the Literacy Index has seen significant changes, bridging the industrial and technical divide. One of the weaknesses of emerging countries is a sociological lack of social work, which leads to social illnesses and challenges. One of the difficulties confronting emerging countries is population expansion, which has resulted in child labour to support their families. This phenomenon may be seen all over India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Africa. Asia, with a population of 4.6 billion people spread across 48 countries, is sociologically susceptible in many ways. Slums, unemployment, economic inflation, and a slew of other issues are prevalent in many parts of the developing globe, necessitating social, economic, and demographic remedies. Many people in developing countries face water and food shortages, and they require adequate solutions.

Proliferation of Globalization and its Impact on Labor Markets in Advanced Industrial Nations and Developing Nations: An Advanced Study Approach | Chapter 07 | New Innovations in Economics, Business and Management Vol. 4

 The goal of this study is to show how the spread of globalisation has affected labour markets in both developed and developing countries. Globalization has accelerated at an incredible rate. Over the last 50 years, many governments have gradually removed trade barriers through policy changes. The removal of these impediments has resulted in a reduction in both transportation and telecommunication costs. According to the findings, "tariff cuts and increased trade raise the wage premium in...technology heavy industries." Meanwhile, in Malaysia, there is a pay differential between exporters and non-exporters.

A New Democratic form of Scientific Power for International Community of Citizens Scientists | Chapter 11 | Selected Topics in Humanities and Social Sciences Vol. 4

 For centuries, scientists have studied the relationship between science and power, and it is natural to wonder why science is a power and who has scientific authority. The paper examines the current state of citizen science and situates it within the broader phenomenon of globalisation, which encompasses both cultural and political globalisation. This phenomenon has resulted in the development of the International Community of Citizen Scientists, as proven by real-life examples. This is a new, transnational, and really democratic kind of authority. The paper finishes with an example of how a community might improve democracy in a cultural context where it is lacking.

Considerations about Sustainable Development of the ENSEC (Environmental-Social-Economic) Systems. Transdisciplinary M.E.N. (Megawatt, Ecowatt, Negawatt) Eco-Energetic Paradigm | Chapter 3 | Modern Perspectives in Economics, Business and Management Vol. 3

Information, and how it is used, is undeniably a hot topic for scholars in the field of knowledge integration management (KIM), which is a subset of the much larger field of study known as the knowledge based society/economy (KBS/E). In the context of the existence of some new unique scientific methodologies, as a transdisciplinary thinking perspective of knowledge, society/economic development is a very complicated and multi-factorial process. The current paper combines original concepts about eco-socio-economic (ENSEC-ESE) systems in relation to sustainable development, where the most important issue becomes "the identification, stimulation, evaluation, and implementation of creativity," using trans-thematic identifiers (know what), phenomenological descriptors (know how), and logical explicators (know why) to transform a phenomenological descriptor into a phenomenological descriptor into a logical explicator (in extensis de profundis). To be creative for innovation means to investigate and maybe change the "conceptual space" into a living system, as a "practical transdisciplinary knowledge space," in a sustainable fashion. The current research provides an apokataphatic strategy for identifying what is ("yes"), what isn't ("no"), and how sustainability in the environmental-sociopolitical-economic (ENSEC) systems works ("go so"). The eco-ecological efficiency e and ecological parameter with specified values for resilience, viability, and disaster are used in the model to analyse such systems. The paper reconfigures energetic sustainable development in the context of the transdisciplinary M.E.N. (Megawatt, Ecowatt, Negawatt) paradigm, presenting ways to transform all types of energy, as shown in the energetic transformations diagram, including waste, as a resource using the circular energetic scheme (2+2)R's - reduce, recycle, reuse, and recombine in order to obtain electricity as a very usable resource.

Investigating the Impact of Strategic Intelligence on Firm Performance and the Mediator Role of Strategic Flexibility | Chapter 2 | Modern Perspectives in Economics, Business and Management Vol. 3

 Strategic flexibility is a philosophy that allows firms to deal effectively with an uncertain and volatile future while maintaining a secure market position.

In this scenario, businesses who employ this strategy remain nimble. The main goal of this chapter is to look into the impact of strategic intelligence and its dimensions (foresight, visioning, and motivation) on firm performance in the biotechnology industry, as well as the role of strategic flexibility and its dimensions (production flexibility, marketing flexibility, and competitive flexibility) in mediating such an impact. The statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) programme and AMOS software were used to analyse and test the hypotheses. The researchers discovered that strategic intelligence has significant positive impacts on firm performance, positive impacts on strategic flexibility, and positive impacts on firm performance in the presence of strategic flexibility as a mediator variable after conducting the analysis to test hypotheses.

A Numerical Example Illustrating Globalization: Focus should be on Supply for the Peaks | Chapter 1 | Insights into Economics and Management Vol. 1

 

We are talking about globalisation and the recent manufacturing and construction slowdown. We present a novel globalisation model consisting of two countries, X and Y, each with domestic and foreign open-market systems. In each nation, we compare two pricing policies: short-run marginal cost, SRMC, versus fixed prices, P, over the business cycle. We are presenting a proposition and proof. With graphs for each country, we give a detailed numerical example. The key consequence is that P increases the volatility of Q demand over the cycle during the business cycle and increases market surplus in both countries under certain conditions. The numerical example shows a drawback of SRMC pricing under demand fluctuations—that the required price in high-demand times to balance accounts becomes extremely high. Consumers are better off with P , paying a small increase over SRMC in the off-peak, 6/7th of the time, to avoid the extremely large required price of SRMC in the peak times, because it’s only 1/7 of the time. The surprising point is that though peak times are infrequent, the prices and quantities at peak times, determine which pricing arrangement is better for consumers. The significance of my mathematical proof is to urge social focus on increasing and prolonging cyclical peaks.
