  • This study investigates the impact of the use of the main local languages in Burkina Faso (Moore, Dioula, Fulfulde) on labor force participation. Using Ethnologue language data, I compute the relative language distance reduction index, after which I use a probit/logit model and instrumental variable approach to account for language use policy endogeneity. This study finds that the use of the Moore language increases the likelihood of labor force participation by 36 percent, with a strong impact on women at 59 percent, nine times higher than men, and 38.3 percent for rural individuals, five times higher than individuals living in urban areas. The Dioula language exhibits comparable trends, while Fulfulde has a negative impact on individuals. The study recommends the use of local language(s) as official language(s) to improve labor force participation. However, a bilingual approach combining local and international language(s) will be of use to account for globalization and international competitiveness. The findings here may be of use to researchers and policymakers as part of their effort to increase the labor force participation rates of women and rural individuals. Moreover, this research has significant implications with regard to the implementation of language use policies in a variety of postcolonial language contexts.

  • In recent years, urban landscapes across the globe have undergone a remarkable transformation marked by a substantial surge in skyscraper development. This paper offers a comprehensive overview of the contemporary evolution of tall buildings, with a particular emphasis on the Middle East. It surveys tall building development in the ten "tallest cities" across the Middle East, including Dubai, Doha, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Riyadh, Manama, Tel Aviv, Kuwait, Mecca, and Jeddah, while listing the tallest ten buildings in each city. The focus sharpens on Dubai, UAE, serving as a compelling case study that vividly illustrates the city's swift metamorphosis from a low-rise to a high-rise urban center. Through meticulous examination, the study aims to unveil the key drivers propelling the construction of the world's tallest buildings, asserting that globalization factors play a pivotal role in fostering this transformative shift. The impetus behind this surge is rooted in the aspiration to project a modern and progressive image on the global stage. With Dubai at the forefront, cities in the Middle East strategically endeavor to reshape their international image and reclaim historical grandeur through ambitious skyscraper projects.

  • At the current stage of globalization and European integration of Ukraine, the aspects related to the effective fight against corruption in the system of economic security of our country are receiving more and more attention, as they become a prerequisite for continuing reforms based on international funding. In order to consider this issue and solve this problem, the necessary step is to develop and implement real mechanisms of the system for detecting and preventing corrupt behavior, which are based on international anti-corruption standards. The leading component of this system is the management of corruption risks in the system of economic security in order to identify them and implement measures to reduce them. This study analyzes the corruption perception index in Ukraine in recent years, which showed a positive, albeit somewhat slow dynamics of its growth, indicating a gradual increase in overcoming corruption through the introduction of a number of anti-corruption measures and changes. It is proved that the current stage of socio-economic development of the country contributes to strengthening the processes of combating corruption and preventing corruption risks, creating an effective and efficient anti-corruption system of the state. The concept of "corruption" was studied, it was found that in the field of public administration it is considered from different positions and is closely related to the concept of "corruption risks". The essence and features of corruption risks are studied, the preconditions of their occurrence are formulated, the relationship between the causes of corruption risks and economic security in the field of public authority has been established. The system of corruption risk management is considered and its components are characterized. It is proposed to increase the effectiveness of anticorruption policy through the implementation of measures aimed at investigating the causes of corruption risks, as well as developed effective and effective means of reducing corruption risks within the system of economic security

  • Given the further promotion of economic globalization, China's financial market has also expanded. However, at present, this market faces substantial risks. The main financial and economic risks in China are in the areas of policy, credit, exchange rates, accounting, and interest rates. The current status of China's financial market is as follows: insufficient attention from upper management; insufficient innovation in the development of the financial economy; and lack of a sound financial and economic risk protection system. To further understand the current situation of China's financial market, we conducted a questionnaire survey on the financial market and reached the following conclusions. A comprehensive enterprise questionnaire from the government's perspective, the enterprise's perspective and the individual's perspective showed that the following problems exist in the financial and economic risk prevention aspects of big data and Internet of Things in China. The political system at the country's grassroots level is not comprehensive enough. The legal regulatory system is not comprehensive enough, leading to serious incidents of loan fraud. The top management of enterprises does not pay enough attention to financial risk prevention. Therefore, we constructed a financial and economic risk prevention model based on big data and Internet of Things that has effective preventive capabilities for both enterprises and individuals. The concept reflected in the model is to obtain data through Internet of Things, use big data for screening, and then pass these data to the big data analysis system at the grassroots level for analysis. The data initially screened as big data are analyzed in depth, and we obtain the original data that can be used to make decisions. Finally, we put forward the corresponding opinions, and their main contents represent the following points: the key is to build a sound national financial and economic risk prevention and assessment system, the guarantee is to strengthen the supervision of national financial risks, and the purpose is to promote the marketization of financial interest rates.

  • 오늘날 기업환경은 기업보안에 대한 근본적인 변화를 요구하고 있다. 이러한 변화의 핵심은 오늘날 글로벌기업의 보안관리는 중요한 경영자의 업무이며, 보안실무자는 비즈니스적 사고를 가진 매우 전문화된 교육과 훈련이 필요한 전문직이라는 것이다. 지구촌의 급격한 글로벌화의 진행은 지리적인 영역의 한계에 제한되었던 기업들의 비즈니스의 한계를 무너뜨렸다. 글로벌화와 더불어 과학기술의 발전에 따라 추동되는 급격한 기업환경의 변화는 기업연속성유지에 새로운 패러다임을 요구하고 있다. 글로벌화의 진행에 따라 국가경제에서 기업이 차지하는 비중이 점차적으로 증가하고 우리나라는 무역을 통하여 국가경제의 동력을 유지하고 있는 무역 의존적인 경제시스템으로 한국경제의 편향성이 가속화하고 있다. 글로벌 시장에서 경쟁력을 유지하기 위해서는 기존의 국내에서의 기업운영과는 다른 새로운 전략이 필요하다. 즉, 국내에서의 기업운영에서 대외적인 리스크에 대한 대응력이 어느 정도 확립되어 있으나, 해외에서의 영업활동에서는 국가마다 상이한 기업활동에 대한 관행의 차이와 지배구조의 변화 등 수많은 예상하지 못한 리스크에 직면하게 된다. 이러한 새로운 리스크에 효과적으로 대응하기 위해서는 기업리스크에 대한 새로운 패러다임이 요구한다. 특히 새로운 보안리스크에 효과적으로 대응하기 위한 뉴패러다임과 같은 사고의 유연성이 요구된다. 글로벌 시장에서 세계적인 기업과 경쟁하고 새로운 기업환경에서 발생하는 보안리스크에 효과적으로 대응하기 위해서는 기업경영진과 구성원의 보안에 대한 인식변화와 보안정책에 혁신적인 변화가 요구된다. 이러한 변화의 근간에는 기업보안업무의 확대, 보고라인의 개선, 보안실무자의 전문성과 위상의 제고, 실무자의 다양성과 보안에 대한 투자의 증가 등이 있다.

  • The Korean wave has become a global phenomenon whose effect has been widely studied in Asia, Europe and the US. However the presumption of cultural distance makes it appear unlikely that the Korean wave could gain traction among African consumers of cultural products. As such, a dearth of evidence exists on the effects of the wave in Africa. This paper examines the effect of the wave in East African countries employing both descriptive and Probit model analyses. The results show that, contrary to conventional beliefs, most Africans surveyed perceive value proximity with Korea through the values conveyed in Korean dramas, movies and music. Confucius values, such as filial piety, family love and respect for the elderly are the most appealing to the East African audience. Importantly, contact with Korean wave contents contributes to the respondents' disposition to form favorable attitude towards Korea. The African consumers of Korea's cultural products are equally likely to purchase other Korean commercial products. These results remotely suggest that Hallyu may be a tool for advancing Korea's soft power towards Africa and could generate positive economic externalities.

  • In recent years, shipping and ports industries are faced with enormous changes like globalization, market liberalization and borderless businesses. To cope with this competitive environment, a certain form of cooperation among ports is necessary to provide high quality of services and lower costs to establish their market power against shipping companies. The purpose of this study is to identify the motivation of the strategic alliances between ports and demonstrate the level of importance using Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP). Among four motivations of the strategic alliances which are strategic motivation, economic motivation, operational motivation and marketing motivation, economic motivation is the most important factor for ports alliances than other factors. This is because economic motivation among strategic alliances allow ports in the same market to rationalize supply and demand, thus avoiding unnecessary over-supply and over-competition and also can reduce service costs by using comparative advantages of each partner which make costs cheaper.

  • The main reason for the increase in cross-border mergers and acquisitions in developed and emerging countries is globalization and growing economic interdependence across countries. The state of the economy has a significant impact on whether cross-border mergers and acquisitions are encouraged or discouraged by international strategic capital market changes. This study empirically evaluates the influence of determinants of economic development on the scale effect of Cross Border M&As separately on emerging and developed nations as a research gap. We first separated the small and large scale firms based on companies' worth and used panel regression to analyze the impact of GDP, employment rate, and market capitalization on cross-border merger & acquisition deals over the period of 2008-2018. Results indicate that GDP and market capitalization have a positive effect on CBM&A, whereas employment rate has a negative effect on CBM&A deals in large-scale firms of both emerging and developed countries. This study results offer the implication for the potential investors and policymakers to strategically analyze the implementation of cross-border mergers & acquisitions.

  • 2000년대 이후 전 세계적으로 시큐리티 시장은 매년 7${\sim}$8%의 지속적인 성장을 계속하고 있으며, 한국은 그 가운데에서도 향후 산업발전이 빠르게 이루어질 대표적인 국가로 꼽히고 있다. 이 연구는 국내 시큐리티 시자의 향후 성장가능성을 전명하기 위해 그 동안 국내 시큐리티 산업의 발전에 기여한 요인들과 향후 시큐리티 수요에 영향을 미칠 새로운 사회, 경제적 환경변화를 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 시큐리티, 범죄, 경찰, 인구, 사회, 경제, 정보화 등과 관련한 다양한 통계자료를 수집하여 분석에 이용하였다. 범죄의 증가와 국가경찰력의 한계, 경제성장과 소득 수준의 향상, 중산층의 확대 등은 국내 시큐리티 시장의 성장에 중요하게 작용하였으며 향후에도 그 영향력을 지속할 것으로 보인다. 한편 새로운 사회, 경제적 변화에 의해 시큐리티 수요가 확대될 것으로 전망된다. 우리나라의 빠른 노령화속도와 1인 가구의 증가, 여성의 경제활동증가와 같은 인구구조의 변화는 가구와 개인의 범죄방어력을 감소시키며 안전에 대한 사회적 욕구를 증가시킬 것으로 보인다. 또한 전 세계적으로 진행되고 있는 글로벌 경제와 지구촌화현상은 국내에도 물적 인적교류로 인한 검색과 감시 기술에 대한 수요를 증가시킬 것이며, 국내의 눈부신 IT기술의 발전 또한 시큐리티 시장 확대에 기여하는 새로운 환경으로 작용할 것으로 보인다. 이 글은 시큐리티 시장을 수요를 촉진하는 사회경제적 변화를 중심으로 다루었으며, 이로 인해 시큐리티 사업의 성장에서 고려해야 할 제도적${\cdot}$법률적 환경, 기술수준, 정치적 환경 등은 분석에 포함하지 못하는 한계를 지니고 있다.인인 것으로 나타났다.
