This paper analyzes the problem of technological backwardness of economy. In many mostly developing countries their economies use obsolete technologies. This can create the illusion that this or that business is prosperous. At the level of international competition, however, it is obvious that these types of firms do not have any chance for success. Retroeconomics as a theory of technological backwardness and its detrimental effect upon a country’s economy is considered in the paper. The role of the government is very important for overcoming the effects of retroeconomy. The phenomenon of retroeconomy is already quite deep-rooted throughout the world and it is essential to consolidate the attention of economists and politicians on this threat.

Purpose There is a need for considerable attention on the adoption of cleaner technologies (CT) by firms for climate proactivity for developing countries such as India. Literature survey suggests that government, market and civil society are the key drivers of CT adoption (CTA) in developing countries. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the mediating and moderating role of the government in CTA for climate proactivity. Design/methodology/approach The data collected from a survey of Indian firms were analyzed through exploratory factor analysis and multiple regression analysis to examine the mediating and moderating role of the government. Findings The empirical outcome was compared with the current government policies to summarize the research findings. Research limitations/implications There is scope of future research to examine the moderating and mediating role of market and civil society in CTA for climate proactivity. Practical implications The study will provide significant insight into various stakeholders associated with the CTA such as government, technology manufacturers, marketing community, environmental professionals and associated researchers. The research model will be useful for policymakers, managers and researchers for understanding CTA in the Indian context. Social implications The output model will be useful for the government to formulate forward-looking strategies toward the adoption of CT by industries for climate proactivity. Originality/value Unlike previous studies in which the government was recognized as a key driver of CTA, this study makes an attempt to test the moderating/mediating role of government in CTA in India. The findings of the study are supported by adequate empirical evidence.

Based on the articles collected, there are many problems such as irrelevant student loan policies, challenges in their application system, loans that could not be repaid that eventually burdened the community. The role of the government, the trust of banks, and the commitment of the community are factors that determine the success rate of achieving this student loan.

Water companies have attracted minimal attention in the corporate social responsibility literature. This chapter examines conceptual issues regarding the applicability and relevance of CSR principles in a public service industry. It aims to bridge the gap that exists between the CSR and water service discourses by offering some initial ideas on the CSR issues of particular relevance to this industry, with emphasis on developing countries. We suggest re-examination of relationships with poor communities, a different understanding of the role of the government, and the adoption of industry-wide, as opposed to company-specific, social responsibility schemes.

This study aims to determine the plans and strategies adopted by the hotel industry during the COVID-19 crisis. In order to conduct this study, a qualitative research methodology was used where semi-structured interviews were conducted from three countries: Austria, Pakistan, and Indonesia. Interviews were conducted online with the help of applications such as Skype, WhatsApp, and Zoom. A thematic analysis was conducted in which codes, categories, and final themes were generated. The final themes are the study's findings, which are strategies for employees, strategies for customers, strategies for SME hotels, and strategies for the staff. Strategies for employees indicate the planning and programs of the SME Hotels. The study's findings show that strategies adopted by the hotel industries vary from country to country while depending on the contextual factors and role of the government. Most Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) hotels in developing countries are less familiar with how to react and survive in the conditions of the crises. Thus, this study can benefit the different stakeholders in the developed and developing countries for adopting strategies and maintain their business during the crises of the COVID-19.JEL Classification: B17, B27, F30, L83How to Cite:Tunio, M.

<p>Radicalism has become a real threat faced by all countries in the world, including Indonesia. This condition occurs because radicalism is the origin ideology of terrorism which has been confirmed as an extraordinary crime for the world. So, the Indonesian government needs to pay special attention to counter the radicalism issue which is now growing rapidly in Indonesia. This article was written to analyze the Government, the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI), and the Indonesian National Police (Polri) roles in countering radicalism issues in Indonesia through good governance concept. This article is written based on the result of phenomenology research used literature study approach of various literature that is relevant to the research topic. Based on the study, the results show that the countering process of radicalism issues conducted by the government of the Republic of Indonesia has not been well managed, because there is no strong legal basis concerning radicalism in Indonesia. Additionally, the weak synergy between the TNI and the Polri, which is tasked to countering radicalism issues, is also become an obstacle for eradicate radicalism issues in Indonesia. Therefore, optimizing the role of the Government, TNI, and Polri are needed by prevention, mapping, detention, and contra radicalism actions. On the other hand, those three parties must strengthen their synergy and cooperative in performed their roles in maintaining public security and national security from the dangers of radicalism.</p>

China ‘watching,’ China ‘worship,’ and China ‘bashing,’ are the favourite agenda of our politicians, bureaucrats, thinkers, and industry captains. This is because of the re-emergence of China in the global canvas after many years of being encircled in the ‘Great Wall.‘ India has special reasons to look at China seriously not just because it is emerging as a competitor, but because of its size, population, and demography, it appears to be the only country with which India could ‘benchmark.’ The economic indicators of China are baffling not only because they are outstanding but also because China is the only country in the world which has shown consistency in the last decade or so. The size of its GDP, its growth and dispersion, massive impact in the global trade, and the admirable manner in which it has contained its inflation merits acknowledgement and admiration. Such consistent results are possible due to well-thought out and carefully orchestrated strategies. The Chinese economy was planned by looking at the world as the market. China has clear priorities and focus (both in terms of geography as well as sectors when it comes to allocating resources). It is interesting to note the consistency with which China is unleashing the ‘enterprise’ in the ‘private domain.’ This brings us to the role of the government. In China, it is the solemn responsibility of the state to provide outstanding and comprehensive infrastructure to the nation�a job it is doing with amazing speed and efficiency. The government is everywhere but it shows ‘integrity’ and what is more important ‘flexibility.’ This makes them most friendly to foreign investments and investors who are racing to be there. There are some popular myths that we attribute to China. We like to label China as having capabilities at the low-end of intellectual spread, we suspect the quality of its goods, and above all we associate inefficiency with a Communist regime. They are at best wishful thinking by those who struggle to compete. China, however, has its concerns, for instance, the contrast between the east and the west part of the country and rural-urban divide (conscious results of the planned growth). This is dangerous in a country where revolutions are not uncommon. Despite the concerns, China has done very well as far as its society and its economy is concerned. While we in India cannot replicate these models and policies, we can certainly take inspiration from the Chinese and evolve our own clear agenda which can be spelt as follows: focus on infrastructure think �big� and plan �globally� prioritize key sectors/issues of development create a niche for ourselves by leveraging on our strengths.

Franchising is a global phenomenon. In developing countries, franchising is activated both by international franchise entities and home-grown franchises. Rapid development of franchising coupled with turbulent environments have led the society to view franchising as more than just a form of business; franchising is a strategy. The Malaysian government has even looked beyond that by adopting franchising as a strategy to develop local entrepreneurship. A comprehensive model attesting to the role of the government in promoting franchising—both imported and home-grown—is presented.
