The impact of the e-economy has been observable in almost all the sectors of the national economies of the states in the last few years. The growing influence of this phenomenon is due to development of the Internet, which has already become a viable part of almost all the business activities including buying and selling. Therefore, it can be assumed that the area of e-commerce will have an increasing impact, not only on national economic development, but on the express mail market, as well. The content of the article is designed to provide a comprehensive view of the interdependence between the level of economic maturity (the GDP gross Domestic Product) per capita in the PPS (Purchase Power Standard) indicator), development of the e-commerce (indicator B2C (Business to Customer) e-commerce turnover) and the number of express deliveries. Identifying the influence between the aforementioned indicators, it will be possible to take certain measures to support the development of the e-commerce market.

The proliferation of the internet of things will open up new opportunities for implementing the digital transformation of businesses. Available data is expected to rise in unprecedented levels of quantity with the IoT playing an important role towards that end. Data analytics techniques will provide businesses with refined pieces of information in almost all aspects in both B2C and B2B context, thus refining services design and customization with more flexibility and options that focus right at the heart of consumers' needs. Digital marketing depends on these developments. This chapter aims at proposing a framework for analyzing the implications of data analytics and IoT on digital marketing.

AbstractThis paper aims to analyse Spanish tourism policy and its relation to a series of facts. The research combines an extensive review of the existing studies into the aspects of tourism policy linked to government, geography and economy with an examination of statistical sources. The main issues and findings analysed in this study are highlighted below. Firstly, the evolution of tourism policy of Spain in the last 60 years in relation to the process of national economic development is analysed. Secondly, a limited role of tourism on economic and territorial balance as well as changes in the regional distribution in the supply of hotel accommodation is highlighted. Thirdly, territorial changes related to the supply of hotel accommodation and GDP per capita are discussed. Finally, certain topics are suggested for future debate: tourism and imbalance as well as tourism and development.

Convergence among national economies is viewed by a growing number of observers as an inevitable result of increasing global integration of product and financial markets. Yet there is reason to doubt that globalization has yet brought about, or will in the future bring about, the degree of convergence assumed by some. First, markets require effectiveness, not optimality. This allows considerable space for continued differences in national economic policy choices, institutional structures, and performance patterns. Second, domestic institutions mediate the impact of international market forces. Institutions differ markedly across countries, generating substantial cross-national variation in the preferences and capacities of economic actors (firms, unions, policy makers, and so on). To assess the convergence thesis empirically, I examine developments in the 17 richest industrialized nations from 1960 to 1994. There is some indication of convergence in a few areas, but it is limited. This appears to owe partly to the fact that globalization itself remains limited and in part to the fact that globalization's convergence-generating effects are limited.

Recently, the Member States of the European Union (EU) have found themselves in a controversial situation. On the one hand, national economic development is barely possible without increasing electricity consumption, whereas on the other we are facing increased use of natural resources (coal, oil, gas, wood), thermal effects, pollution and risks to human health. The European Green Deal is a response to the currently observed negative trends. The strategy aims to accelerate the economic development of the EU Member States, thus reducing electricity consumption. Objectives may include both the national economy and the electricity generation sector by applying advanced technologies and introducing innovations that increase output efficiency while reducing electricity costs. Assessing the current situation is vital for the successful implementation of the European Green Deal, i.e., by comparing the impact of electricity consumption on the economic development of the Member States. Thus, combining indicators for national economic development and the extent of electricity consumption into a single aggregate is necessary because electricity greatly affects economic development. The proposed methodology allows dividing the analysed EU Member States into three groups, in line with the degree of national economic development and the scope of electricity consumption in their economy sectors.

ABSTRACTTechnology  is  emerging  as  an  essential  tool  for  knowledge  creation  and  social  improvement.  In  the  field  of education, the inclusion of technology is essential in almost all areas. In this context it is important to analyze the weight of  information  and  communication  technology  (ICT),  such  as  the  Internet,  as  a  factor  in  student  choice  in  access  to college. In this paper we study the impact of the Internet and other formulas (references, visits, mass media) to get information in order to enter university, key decision for the younger generations of our society.RESUMENLa tecnología es una herramienta esencial tanto para la creación de conocimiento como para la mejora social. En el terreno de la educación, la inclusión de la tecnología es imprescindible en casi todos los ámbitos.

This study was conducted by using annual research investment data of BLRI to estimate the impact of livestock research generated technologies on national economy of Bangladesh. The results showed that the livestock research investment was increased and consequently contribution in GDP of livestock sector was also increased. The result of Chow Test F1,35= 4.35  indicated that there is a great positive impact of livestock technologies on livestock Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The results revealed that the contribution of generated livestock technologies through annual investment Tk.1.65 million in livestock research, which was increased livestock GDP by Tk. 3,044.56 million annually which saved Tk. 2913.93 million of import expenditures of livestock products from outside countries. Therefore, to save significant amounts of foreign exchange through reducing imports and earn more foreign exchange through export; more investment on livestock research is needed. Hence, further national economic development, Bangladesh government must emphasize research investment for generating livestock technologies.

The impact of knowledge determinants on global competitiveness based on multiple criteria assessment methodology and their empirical expert assessment was evaluated taking the comparative expert data of the U.S., Japan, China, and India for a case study. The complex evaluations were determined with an account of the education, knowledge and innovation parameters published in the international reports of the WEF, INSEAD a/o experts. As result of author evaluations was found that differences between the USA and Japan, on the one side, China and India, on other, by GTCI and GII levels are lower than their differences in GDP per capita (PPP). The correlation between GTCI scores and GDP per capita, also between national economic competitiveness and GTC indices is weaker than expected by an approach based on GTCI model. The deep difference in labor productivity per employee was determined by the technical retardation of India and China compared with USA and Japan. At the same time, the differences of superpowers in educating the employable skills are not so significant.

This research paper assesses the impact of ICTs (which includes the Internet, mobile phone, pager, personal computer, and telephone) on Gross National Income (GNI) per capita in developing countries in 2005. It found a significant relationship between GNI per capita (in PPP international dollar) and adoption of each ICT (mobile phone, personal computer, and telephone) but not for Internet technology adoption. In addition, it identifies factors that developing countries need to consider in the adoption and application of ICTs for economic development.
