Mohammed Yahya is an entrepreneur engaged in the production and sale of essential oils. Getting his enterprise established was not easy. However, things improved when he started receiving support from Youth Participation and Employment (YPE) programme partner the Local Initiative and Development Forum (FIDEL). FIDEL was instrumental in facilitating business grants and business development support. With this more focused approach, Mohammed managed to register his business, participated in national fairs, and opened new market segments. He successfully graduated from the informal labour market to the self-employed category. The training he received from FIDEL helped him to increase the sale of his products. In the future, he hopes to explore the international market and reduce his imports of raw materials by growing ingredients locally.

In the past decade, emotional branding has been emerged as an extremely influential brand management paradigm and is widely heralded as a key dimension to marketing success. Branding of emotions focuses upon the consumer and not the product at the very forefront; it examines how brands can communicate with consumers in a more rational and humanitarian manner and affect people deeply at the varying degree of the feelings and senses. Due to the steadily growing competition in the international market, brands have become an important component. Therefore, the objective of marketers is to understand the people's emotional desires and increase the consonance of the brand personality for their brands with the self-image of their target customers. The purpose of the chapter is to recognize the potential nature of emotions in creating strong brand attachments between consumers and brands, and promote active participation as it leads to customer loyalty. It also articulates the effects of interactive features that enhance emotional branding elements in a virtual community.

Red mud is the main solid residue generated during the production of alumina by means of the Bayer process. In order to expand the comprehensive utilization field of red mud and develop new ceramic products with low radioactivity utilizing red mud, the exploration of preparing self-releasing glaze ceramic materials using red mud as raw material was carried out. During the exploration, the self-releasing glaze ceramic materials with low radiation level were produced by normal pressure sintering process using the main ingredients of red mud, red sandstone, barium carbonate and ball clay. The properties of the self-releasing glaze ceramic samples were investigated by the measurements of mechanical properties, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and radiation measurement. The results show that the self-releasing glaze ceramic materials have good mechanical properties (the bulk density, 3.10 g/cm3; the compressive strength, 78.00 MPa). Adding barium carbonate to the raw materials and then calcine them to ceramics, which can extend the sintering temperature range and the radioactivity level of the self-releasing glaze ceramic materials can be reduced to that of the natural radioactive background of Guilin Area, Karst landform (the average 60 Total/Timer).

The article considers the characteristic features of the development of interaction between international and Russian transnational capital subjects, which appear in raising national corporations to a transnational level, in the penetration of leading world’s firms in the national spheres of investment, production and distribution of goods on labor markets. Consequently, the development of relations between national companies and transnational corporations (TNCs) in the domestic economy has features that distinguish them from devel-oped countries. Currently, the tendency of Russian TNCs integration into the production chains of international corporations in developed countries as a supplier of raw materials has been formed and consolidated. Thus, the relations of Russian multinationals with world corporations and the state are formed according to their own structure. However, the quality of relations between Russian subjects of transnational and national business lags significantly behind those relationships that are realized in the international system of transnational capital.

The paper discusses the key aspects of marketing activities in the international market, provides insights into the specifics of international marketing, the major types of business activity and the production factors (capital, labour, raw materials, management, information, technology, markets), and the way they are organized worldwide. It is argued that in the new realia, gaining a required level of productivity and competitiveness becomes possible only within the frameworks of an integrated global network. In the context of national enterprises, the process of globalization, on the one hand, could be viewed as increased competition, while on the other – as the opportunity to enter new markets. The success of companies' penetration into international markets largely depends on their objectivity and competence to explore developed market segments, as well as on the ability to choose an effective marketing strategy to achieve this goal. Within the scope of this study, international marketing is considered as the respond of international market participants to the immediate processes of growth and expansion of partnerships, growth of production capacity, rapid renewal of product assortment, frequent changes in the nature and structure of market demand, market fluctuations, increased competition, production expansion, and enhanced quality of information support. All this ensures systemic, regular and dynamic activities in the international market at different stages of product and services consumer sales promotion.
