  • The prediction of stock price index is a very difficult problem because of the complexity of stock market data. It has been studied by a number of researchers since they strongly affect other economic and financial parameters. The movement of stock price index has a series of change points due to the strategies of institutional investors. This study presents a two-stage forecasting model of stock price index using change-point detection and artificial neural networks. The basic concept of this proposed model is to obtain intervals divided by change points, to identify them as change-point groups, and to use them in stock price index forecasting. First, the proposed model tries to detect successive change points in stock price index. Then, the model forecasts the change-point group with the backpropagation neural network(BPN). Finally, the model forecasts the output with BPN. This study then examines the predictability of the integrated neural network model for stock price index forecasting using change-point detection.

  • The purpose of this study is to examine empirically the short- and long-run determinants of entrepreneurial activity in a sample of 15 the Middle East and North African economies between 2006 and 2018. More specifically, four groups of determinants are considered in the analysis, namely economic, demographic, business environment, and institutional. Given the autoregressive feature of the entrepreneurial activity process, a dynamic panel data model is estimated using the system GMM estimator. Findings reveal that unemployment, trade openness, population density, and economic freedom are the main drivers of new business creation in the short-run, while the cost and number of procedures to start a new business negatively affect entrepreneurship. In the long-run, the same findings hold true. Moreover, education and political stability and the absence of violence/terrorism positively affect entrepreneurial activity. Policy recommendations are accordingly designed.

  • The study conducts a comparative study of the supporting systems and methods of social enterprises in Korea, Japan, and Hong Kong to propose a policy on sustainable growth of social enterprises and their long-term activation. By investigating previous studies, this researcher drew the frame of a comparative analysis and conducted the comparative analysis. First, regarding the supporting system for social enterprises, it was found that Korea had better institutional foundation and system, whereas Japan had better activation, cooperation and network of intermediary support organizations. In Korea there is the law related to social enterprises, and the government takes control of all of the organization in charge of the policy, intermediary support organizations, cooperation and network, and authentication system. However, Hong Kong has yet to establish a basic institutional system to grow and activate social enterprises, and foreign intermediary supporting organizations increase the network and cooperation level to support social enterprises. Thirdly, for supporting methods for social enterprises, there were direct financial support, indirect business support and other kinds of support in Korea, whereas indirect support was activated in Japan. Although The Hong Kong government barely supports social enterprises, it comes up with a plan to support the firms serving as social enterprises under its the 12th 5-year development plan. For sustainable growth of Korean social enterprises, this study suggested the change of the government policy to the direction of creating social enterprise ecosystem through cooperation and network activation, indirect support in the middle of process, and activation of intermediary support organizations.

  • Unlike the traditional belief that knowledge flows along the formal reporting procedures, recent social network research has reported the importance of informal social networks which may play a critical role as the real knowledge conduits. In fact, as a complementary approach of utilizing knowledge management systems (KMSs), many firms have focused on managing informal knowledge flow through which to acquire and transfer valuable knowledge in a fast and effective way. In a case of global companies that have newly developed foreign branches or subsidiaries, due to cultural or institutional differences and lack of understanding of knowledge management and its benefits, they often have difficulties in activating knowledge sharing in local branches. In these situations, diagnosing organizational knowledge flow through SNA can be a first step to solve the problems. Therefore, in this paper, I report on the result of case study on a foreign branch of "A" global company by identifying organizational knowledge paths. Based on the results of the diagnosis, some implications and insights for building knowledge management (KM) strategy specified for a newly developed foreign branch will also be discussed.
