How do the new ICT information technologies and Industry 4.0 contribute to improving the efficiency of the functioning of business entities?
The functioning of which areas of economic activity of companies and enterprises is improved by the implementation of ICT information technologies and/or Industry 4.0?
The pandemic has accelerated the implementation of ICT information technology into business operations and the use of the Internet to promote and sell product and service offerings. The SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic indirectly accelerated the development of ICT information technology applications in various aspects of business. During the pandemic, lockdowns were introduced on selected, mainly service sectors of the economy. As part of anti-pandemic security instruments, citizens infected with the coronavirus had to stay at home in quarantine for several to several days. As a result, quarantined consumers started ordering and buying products and services more via the Internet. On the other hand, companies under lockdown were able to conduct their business via the Internet. Consequently, many companies and businesses during the pandemic increased their use of the Internet for their business operations. Many businesses have increased the scale of sales of products and services offered to customers via the Internet. Many companies during the pandemic built or developed their online sales platforms. The scale of turnover carried out through the Internet in many companies and enterprises has even increased several times. As a result, the scale of e-commerce increased. The turnover of courier companies increased. E-logistics has developed. The use of ICT information technology and Industry 4.0 in various aspects of business has increased. When placing orders via the Internet and making purchases of products and services, citizens, including consumers and entrepreneurs, increasingly made payments for ordered products, services, semi-finished products, components, raw materials, etc. via the Internet. The development of online payments and settlements has resulted in the acceleration of the development of e-banking, especially online and mobile banking. In enterprises, computerized systems are being developed to support management processes, decision-making processes. The improvement of computerized enterprise management systems is currently being carried out by increasing the scale of use of Internet technologies and Industry 4.0. Examples are investments in computerized management and decision-making process support systems, in which so-called digital twins of economic, business processes and/or specific spheres of conducted production, service, trade, etc. are built. During the pandemic of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (Covid-19), the scale of investment by companies and enterprises in the development of computerized decision-making systems, in which the aforementioned digital twins and other innovations of Industry 4.0 technology are used, increased significantly. The development of information processing technologies in the era of the current technological revolution termed Industry 4.0 is determined by the development and growth of applications of ICT information technologies, Internet technologies and advanced data processing. The technological revolution currently taking place, referred to as Industry 4. 0 is determined by the development and implementation into economic processes of the following technologies: analytical and database technologies Big Data Analytics, Data Science, cloud computing, machine learning, personal and industrial Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, Business Intelligence, autonomous robots, horizontal and vertical data system integration, multi-criteria simulation models, digital twins, additive manufacturing, Blockchain, smart technologies, cyber security instruments, Virtual and Augmented Reality, and other advanced data processing technologies Data Mining. Thanks to the application of new Industry 4.0 technologies, computerized multi-criteria simulation models known as digital twins are now being created in many companies, enterprises and financial institutions. Building digital twins of entire processes of production, service provision, procurement logistics, manufacturing and distribution in information systems, the company obtains an excellent tool to support the process of managing the organization. Also, business analytics combined with Big Data Analytics technology supports the management process of an enterprise, company, financial institution or other type of business entity. With these solutions, it is also possible to create simulation models of the future development of complex, multi-faceted economic, social, financial, pandemic, natural, climatic, etc. processes. With the help of Big Data Analytics, many companies are already carrying out market research based on the analysis of Internet users' sentiment regarding changes in trends in the evaluation of the quality of product and service offerings, company reputation, logos, corporate branding, etc. The applications of Big Data technology in this area, including computerized market research, analysis of Internet user sentiment, in supporting business management processes, I have described in my publications posted on my profile of this Research Gate portal.
In view of the above, I address the following questions to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
How do new ICT information technologies and Industry 4.0 contribute to improving the efficiency of business entities?
The functioning of which areas of economic activity of companies and enterprises is improved through the implementation of ICT information technologies and/or Industry 4.0?
What do you think about this topic?
What is your opinion on this issue?

There are many styles of leadership. We will focus here on two opposite styles: Autocratic leaders who tell their employees what they want them to do, and Democratic leaders who let members of the group take a more participative role in the decision-making process.
Other types, such as, Laissez-faire leaders encourage employees to make their own decisions.
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Mahfuz Judeh,
All of these 3 above-mentioned styles of personnel management in a company or enterprise, i.e. autocratic, democratic and laissez-faire styles are appropriate for a certain type of company, enterprise, institution, etc., a certain type of economic activity, the specifics of the product and/or service offerings produced, the structure of the production factors, including the contribution of new technologies to the economic, production and other processes realized in economic entities. Autocratic styles, in which autocratic leaders assign from above to their employees strictly specified tasks, repetitive activities to be carried out, are adequate for manufacturing enterprises, in which the technological processes of production, production logistics, supply logistics and distribution do not change for many years and new technological solutions and innovations appear rarely. Democratic styles, in which democratic leaders allow subordinate employees treated as team members to participate in the decision-making process work well for technology companies, in which the process of production, offering of services, etc. are quickly modified under the influence of progressive technological advances, implementation of new technologies into the business activities of companies and enterprises, creation of new innovative solutions by employees employed by the company, and other processes and factors that cause modernization of the technological processes of business activities, etc. On the other hand, laissez-faire styles, in which laissez-faire leaders encourage employees to make their own decisions, can be effectively applied in business entities operating within distributed, decentralized, flattened organizational structures, as well as in business entities operating within a group of capital-linked and/or through cooperative and partnership relationships of companies and enterprises operating in the form of corporations, partnerships and others. In connection with the increase in the importance of new technologies and innovations, the increase in the importance of entrepreneurship as important factors of production, the flattening of organizational structures, the increase in the importance of cooperation in business-related companies, the increase in the importance of clusters and other forms of integration of various business entities, the increase in the implementation of new information technologies ICT and Industry 4.0 to business entities, the improvement of management processes and the flow of information between departments, plants in the company is successively increasing the importance and role of management carried out in democratic style (participatory) and laissez-faire style (partnership, decentralized). The increase in the importance and scale of application of the democratic laissez-faire style is correlated with the ongoing transformation of the economy towards an information society economy, a social market economy and an economy highly developed and equipped with modern technologies.
Best wishes,

There has not been a single moment in the history of mankind where significant change has not occurred. In the earliest stages, natural events (droughts, rains, fire, eruptions...) made entire peoples change their customs and look for new settlements.
A couple of centuries ago the industrial revolution changed all the dominant paradigms and today technology is transforming the world.
What I want to say is that yes, of course, social codes can be changed, have been changed, and will continue to be changed. It is not something new. The pandemic that we experienced in 2019 had its predecessor in 19018 and the latter also had one.
Throughout history there has always been a trigger that drives changes, in some regions it is faster to observe them, in others it takes a little longer, but in the end, it arrives.
For example, in the 1980s almost no one had a cell phone, even in some societies, those who did not have one made fun of those who used those devices. Today it is practically impossible to live without them.
The question is not whether or not the code can be changed, we must ask ourselves how long it will take humanity to make the change and what will be next.
I hope this helps.

Interesting topic to discover. According to Koo (2022), Metaverse tourism will lead to a new level of immersive experiences. Maybe it connects to Destination Brand Experience Theory development. Second, metaverse tourists can develop more realistic expectations in the pre-trip stage. Perhaps it relates to Plan behavior theory (Icek Ajzen). Third, researchers should consider metaverse tourists’ multi-identification profiles. Maybe it is related to the identity of urban (Anthropology), cultural (Sociology), or brand (marketing). Finally, metaverse tourism offers a new business model of a creative economy. Related to practical modeling as abms (agent-based modeling and simulation).

To check for a good research topic for your thesis, I suggest you do the following:
1. Choose a number of peer-reviewed research papers related to Finance and Banking, from Google Scholar or similar websites, not from any other source such as Google, etc.
2. Read these research papers and check for the research gaps from within such research. You may find these gaps under the subtitle, Future Research or similar subtitles.
3. Ensure that such gaps are not covered by recent research. That is, for the gap that you want to cover, read to the last current research in this regard to make sure that no other author(s) already conducted such research.
4. Then, go ahead and start preparing for your research, preferably using the Literature Review Matrix where you put a table showing authors, title, objectives, problem statement, variables, methodologies used, findings, etc. for each research paper selected. By the way, you may want to keep such relevant research papers to use them as references in your research.

This problem is now creating lots of dissatisfaction of customers in Nigeria whose accounts are debited but were not giving cash and in many cases the present system does not automatically correct the error. 
Relevant answer
Answer
First off, there should be an investigation to find the cause of the error.
That said there should be a commit or rollback provision in the software (and this is supposed to be a part of the basic function of a reasonably modern database.)
At a high level (and skipping some steps that don't play a role in the very simplified model), a customer initiates a withdrawal transaction (we will assume away security checks, balance checks etc.) The ABM will then go to the cassette and request the notes, the notes should be checked and any unfit notes should be rejected (sent to the "divert" bin.) It would be best if all notes dispensed at that time are rejected (and a suitable record made). The ABM should send a cancel transaction instruction to the server and then the request should be run again.
Yes, sometimes it more efficient to reject just the bad notes but in some cases this may cause another issues and I suspect this is not being done and causing some issues.
There are other concerns as well, the divert tray is sometimes not as well secured and a torn bill will usually still be accepted by another party (i.e. a clerk in a store.) Sometimes it is better secured but the issue is that the bills heading there are often torn/damaged and if that isn't accounted for the bill may jam. It should be noted that anyone who has access to the divert, has had to go through several layers of security. First, the divert should not be accessible from the front (client facing) portion of the ATM. Second, the rear of the machine should be in a well secured area with good camera coverage. Lastly, your cash solutions provider (the person/firm filling the ATM) needs to be properly vetted by you. Yes, you can have bank staff do this as well and there are pros and cons to this as well. I'll leave it up to you.
The quality of a bill should be checked at the cash centre before it is deposited into the ABM and the ABM should use notes that are in reasonably good quality.
There are individuals who may simply file a false claim of loss to get their funds back. In these cases you need to have the right type of an ABM with the correct security (usually good camera) placement. In this way the bank can dispute any false claims. Since we're dealing with money we should consider that the client may team up with another provider (i.e. a 3rd party ATM) to conduct a fraud in which case you as a bank may not have access to all the information. In this case things may come down to your agreement with the 3rd party.

If during your education you will choose just courses you want, you can end up in the situation when you are not qualified for the degree. For example, in Business Administration you have to take obligatory courses for a surtain amount of credits otherwise you cannot be granted a bachelor of BA, just bachelor of philosophy. You can nicely choose courses in your specialisation, you can also choose in which university you want to study this courses (according to exchange agreements).

One thing I noted in academia is that competition can sometimes be just as fierce as in the world of business.
Sometimes it can be small and petty like who should be first author, often triggered by purely selfish reasons and following justifications.
In other cases competition can be about grands, effectively rendering someone unemployed in some cases. I have seen bullying, discrimination more frequently than in the world of business, the place I come from.
This is truly the dark side of academia, there are also positive things but these are things that make me sick to my stomach.

Hello,
I am currently working on sensitivity analysis in the context of AHP. I use the online tool BPMSG from Goepel, maybe someone here knows it. However, I have a problem with the traceability of the results. Let's assume that there are exactly 3 criteria in the AHP (C1,C2,C3). Then I would like to know how the final value for an alternative (a1) results if one of the criteria changes in weighting, right?
I'll just say C1 decreases by x. However, the value x that is taken away from C1 must be distributed to C2 and C3. I just wonder which method is used to do this. Is x simply distributed equally to C2 and C3 or does this happen according to the share of C2 or C3 in the sum of C2 and C3?
When I do that, I get the following for the remaining two criteria:
(C1-x) = New C1
(C2 + (C2 / (C2 + C3)) * x) = New C2
(C3 + (C3 / (C2 + C3)) * x) = New C3
Unfortunately, however, I do not know if this is correct. If I multiply the criteria with the corresponding values of alternative a1 and combine the whole thing to a final value, I can calculate the same again with the other alternatives. When I compare the graphs to see how big x has to be to change the final prioritization of the alternatives, I always get the wrong values compared to the online tool. Therefore I would like to know if the redistribution of the weights is correct.
I hope someone can help me despite the long question. Thanks a lot!

AI and Big Data have recently seen widespread application in virtually every field. With the economy's increasing digitization, it is expected that massive amounts of data will be generated at every node. I wonder if primary data based research in consumer behavior, economics, agricultural economics, and related fields will become obsolete in the future as more sophisticated models aided by AI and Big Data provide a more accurate picture of various phenomena. Please share your thoughts on what will be the role of researchers in applied economics, business, and marketing etc (not including those in the fields of computer science).

Hello,
i don't quite understand what difference there is between the term business logic and business model. Are they used synonymously? I know of only one source that says a business model is a business logic when the supply, value creation, marketing and revenue are aligned from a theoretical perspective. Accordingly, one speaks of supply logic, value creation logic, marketing logic and revenue logic.
Is this correct?
Relevant answer
Answer
As I see it, business logic is the way in which the organisation gathers and analyses information that will enable decision makers to implement the business model. i.e. ensure that the decisions taken are supported by information -- the effectiveness of the model can be measured.

I have often wondered if it is possible or recomended to teach business, management, marketing etc without practical experience of the subject. I have been a businessman for over 20 years, consultancy, transport, fiduciary and recruiting. I have had my ups and downs. I seen the positive and the negative and done things hands on. How ever if I look back at my former professors and lecturers I would say almost none of them had any experience and sometimes I felt in hindsight that they had no idea on how to connect theory and practice and to be critical. What are your thoughts?should hands on experience be mandatory in order to be allowed to teach a subject? I know this is a sensitive issue and be sure I ask this question with the greatest of respect. Are there ways of getting around the lack of experience? For me it seems difficult because a lecturer who has been in the game can provide another dimention compared to some one who never left academia. For me the difference is like playng football and watching football? Im sure there are great lecturers out there without experience of what they are teaching but what are your thoughts in general?

Dear Community,
I am doing a Fractional Outcomes regression (Logit) for my thesis and can't find information on what assumptions the model makes. I suppose I would need to test those assumptions are met in my sample in order to be able to conduct the analysis. Furthermore, I wanted to know if there is any possibility of doing a robustness test on such a model.
Additionally, in a Fractional Outomes regression do my independent variables have to be between 0 and 1 as well?
Thank you very much,
Best,
Jan
Relevant answer
Answer
Fractional responses concern outcomes between zero and one.
The most natural way fractional responses arise is from averaged 0/1 outcomes. In such cases, if you know the denominator, you want to estimate such models using standard probit or logistic regression. For instance, the fractional response might be 0.25, but if the data also include that 4 out of 36 had a positive outcome, you can use the standard estimation commands.
Fractional response models are for use when the denominator is unknown. That can include averaged 0/1 outcomes such as participation rates, but can also include variables that are naturally on a 0 to 1 scale such as pollution levels, patient oxygen saturation, and Gini coefficients (inequality measures).
Fractional response estimators fit models on continuous zero to one data using probit, logit, heteroskedastic probit, and beta regression. Beta regression can be used only when the endpoints zero and one are excluded.

Will Covid- crisis boost shadow (informal, underground, parallel) economy? Will Grey (Parallel) Market Rise more?
Relevant answer
Answer
It is difficult to formulate one view, an international approach to this issue, or universal conclusions on this issue. In individual countries, before the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) pandemic, the scale of the development of the shadow economy was very diverse, both in terms of the scale of development, structure in terms of branches and sectors of the economy, correlation with specific economic processes, etc., as well as in the question of the correlation of the scale of the shadow economy development with specific determinants, regulations, fiscal systems, etc. of individual countries. On the other hand, the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic may favor the development of the shadow economy in certain areas, industries and sectors of the economy, in certain types of economic activity. An example is the practice of extorting government subsidies, which are granted to certain types of companies and enterprises, certain types of economic activities that have been in an economic crisis due to the pandemic, and / or economic entities that have been subject to a lockdown. The scale of this type of shadow economy may vary greatly from country to country. It is determined, inter alia, by the level of organization and efficiency of the subsidy control system.

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Businesses can play a crucial role in increasing sustainability and preventing the escalation of environmental and social problems. Through the analysis of how sustainable firm processes and activities positively affect society as a whole, and specifically firm performance, and by developing theory to inform practice through well-grounded guidelines for firms, scholars can help to raise awareness of the need to incorporate these sustainable practices.
Interest in and research into Corporate Social Responsibility have grown exponentially in the last two decades, and some meta-analytical studies (e.g., Orlitzky et al., 2003) have corroborated the positive effect of CSR on firms’ financial performance. Nevertheless, this topic still requires a deeper analysis and theoretical foundation. CSR practices contribute positively to society by supporting sustainable economic, social, and environmental development (Du et al., 2010). They also help to strengthen firms’ competitive advantage and performance (Carroll and Shabana, 2010; Lee and Park, 2009). Whether firms adopt CSR practices for instrumental or moral reasons is also a topic of debate, since they are based on contradictory foundations (Aguilera et al., 2007; Hahn et al., 2016), although both contribute to increasing corporate social performance (Hahn et al., 2016). Hahn et al. (2016) found that firms’ practices grounded in instrumental and in moral initiatives complement each other and increase the scale of corporate social performance. Deeper analysis of how CSR practices grounded in both rationales help firms to improve their corporate performance can be a way to raise firms’ awareness about sustainability.
Furthermore, firms must often rely on contradictory processes that underpin, for example, environmental requirements, as in the case of efficiency and flexibility (Lin and Ho, 2016; Boronat-Navarro and García-Joerger, 2019). The analysis of how firms develop holistic solutions for sustainability requires deeper study of firm resources and capabilities. Dynamic capabilities (Teece et al., 1997) can facilitate strategic change towards integration of sustainability and its effect on corporate performance (Wu et al., 2012), but this analysis requires further development. Exploration of different contexts such as family firms, or sectors like tourism or manufacturing companies could help toward a further understanding of this strategic change.
Additionally, customers’ perceptions of and intentions towards firms change according to the information they have about sustainable firms or their experiences with them (e.g., Boronat-Navarro and Pérez-Aranda, 2019, 2020). Studies demonstrating the positive effects on the perception of multiple stakeholders due to the authentic adoption of CSR practices (Wang et al., 2020) could also raise firms’ awareness of the importance of truly integrating these practices into their mission, culture and values, strategy, and operations. This analysis could shed light on the relationship between CSR and corporate performance.
Against this background, for this Special Issue, we invite submissions of academic papers analyzing how firms integrate and develop CSR practices that can contribute to corporate performance and to the sustainable progress of society. Both original research articles and review articles are welcome. The Special Issue focuses on but is not limited to the following topics:
  • CRS and its effects on corporate performance;
  • CSR and its effects on different measures of corporate performance;
  • CSR and its impacts on society;
  • Consistency and authenticity in the implementation of CSR practices;
  • Theories explaining instrumental and moral initiatives in CSR practices;
  • Resources and capabilities that help firms in the adoption of sustainable practices;
  • Dynamic capabilities and sustainability;
  • Innovations in the adoption of sustainable practices;
  • Stakeholders’ influence on CSR adoption;
  • Perceptions of various stakeholders of CSR practices;
  • CSR in family firms;
  • CSR and corporate performance in different sectors.

Answer
Shaban Sabbah, are you in a graduate program now? If not, then you might consider applying for another master's or a PhD program. Once you are enrolled in a program, it is easier to make connections with professors with whom you might work, and ideally get funding to do so. Also, you can base your selection of graduate programs to which you might apply on the availability of one or more mentors working in the areas that most interest you.
In any case, when you are sending queries to professors, I suggest that you tailor your inquiries to show that you have researched their specific areas of expertise, and to show how your interests are a great match with theirs. I often get queries from students saying they want to work with me and then mentioning topics that are not in line with work that I do. To me, that suggests that they are sending the same query to many people, and that their aim is to find just any opportunity without doing the work to decide who and what might best fit their goals. I am far more likely to respond to someone whose query indicates that he or she knows my work and wants to work with me because there is a great match between us.
I wish you the best!
