Conceptual Framework for the Implementation of Audit Control of the Financial and Economic Activities of Agricultural Consumer Cooperatives

The subject of the study is the financial and economic activities of the subjects of domestic credit cooperation at the present stage. The purpose of the work is to determine the contradictions in the functioning of credit consumer cooperatives (at the micro and macro levels) and to develop practical measures to resolve them. The article singles out seven main groups of problems an unbalanced structure of the rights and obligations of the shareholders of credit cooperatives, low degree of state regulation of the credit cooperative market, instability in the subject composition of the credit cooperative market, low degree of security of the invested funds in credit cooperatives, ultra-low openness of financial statistics of credit cooperation, low transparency of the conditions for the provision of financial services by credit 83 cooperatives, insufficient attention to strategic planning and conducting scientific and practical consultations.

This article deals with immigrants performing irregular economic activities in Czechia; specifically, it presents a typology of immigrants’ aspirations and factors influencing the successful realization of these aspirations. The findings are based on a qualitative data analysis of 177 respondents and utilize a conceptual framework proposed by van Meeteren, Engbersen and van San (2009). Five types of aspirations/immigrants are identified – so called “temporary immigrants”, “long-term immigrants”, “legalisation immigrants”, “working tourists” and immigrants with unclear aspirations. Different types of immigrants must activate different forms of capital to fulfil their aspirations. We argue that some immigrants, engaged in irregular economic activities, do achieve considerable success.

Abstract The contemporary supply chains in which container ports logistics operate are characterized by increased uncertainties driven by a range of factors such as socioeconomic factors and changing supply chain strategies in response to market dynamics. Recently, the occurrences and effects of these factors on global economic activities, and thus container port logistics, have been intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic. Enabling flexibility in port logistics is more important than ever to navigate uncertainties, now and in the post-COVID-19 world. This paper seeks to develop a conceptual framework to holistically capture different dimensions of container port logistics capacity. A systematic literature review method is employed to formulate a conceptual framework depicting the structure of various elements of capacity and the interplay among the logistics triad of transport carriers, port operators, and logistics service providers whose interactions and service capacities constitute the overall capacity of the system. The study reveals four dimensions of port logistics capacity, namely seaside interface, platform, landside interface, and system-wide, each of which consists of subelements that can be distinguished into static or adjustable. The proposed framework provides insights corresponding to the logistics triad roles and interactions within the system for understanding uncertainty characteristics, assessing various elements of capacity, and identifying potential levers to build flexibility into these interrelated capacity elements.

This chapter sets out the conceptual framework used in this book for understanding the in-between economy of interplaces. The chapter begins by focusing on the role of intermediaries in the economy in between, including their contribution to the production of interplaces. With the exception of the concept of arenas, which is substantially new, this chapter works with extant and empirically tractable concepts to emphasize the in-between or relational geography of economic activities. The chapter goes on to develop a limited arsenal of four economic geographical formations to help depict the geography of the interplace economy: the agglomeration, the enclave, the network, and the arena.

Tools And Techniques

Successive global conferences on sustainable development, such as the 1992 Earth Summit, have called for environmental and economic activities to be planned at the same time and in the same institutions, without elucidating how this should be done. This literature review provides a conceptual framework for organising the various approaches to integrated economic and environmental planning, along with supporting tools and techniques. The conceptual framework derived from this analysis illustrates the importance of vertical linkages among planning levels and highlights the paucity of integrated economic and environmental plans at the subnational level in Asia. Both of these issues need to be addressed if a nested hierarchy of integrated economic and environmental plans is expected to contribute to the achievement of sustainable development.

Clear Line

In the ethical discourse about financial markets, the terms “investment”, “speculation” and “gambling” often seem confusing and lack a clear distinction. The inconsistent use of this terminology has concrete consequences for the public perception. We attempt to establish a concept which draws a clear line between these activities and can serve as a baseline for discourse about how to assess investment, speculation and gambling on a normative level. We analyze existing literature and develop a conceptual framework to provide an overview of the differences between investment, speculation and gambling. We conclude that gambling differs structurally from investment and speculation in terms of the classic distinction between risk and uncertainty and the separation between consuming and non-consuming activities. Moreover, we arrive at the conclusion that investment and speculation share too many similarities to be separated in a consistent way.
