Network Diffusion

The rapid development of the new generation of information technology makes digital enterprises and the digital economy important forces in promoting the sustainable growth of the world economy. Under the influence of the digital economy, the original urban network may undergo drastic changes. There have been studies that have arrived at conflicting conclusions. This paper primarily illustrates whether or not the digital economy has changed the urban network structure. China's digital economy is developing rapidly, becoming a new engine for the high-quality development of the Chinese economy. Therefore, this paper demonstrates the impact of China's digital economy on the urban network structure by using data from China's Top 500 New Economy Enterprises in 2020 and the headquarter–subsidiary ownership method. The results show that 1) China's urban network has changed significantly. Compared with APS enterprises and listed companies, the urban network of the digital economy has become more polarized, and Beijing has become the absolute control center. 2) Chinese cities have been reshuffled in the era of the digital economy. Beijing, Hangzhou, and Chengdu, with their industrial foundations in the digital economy, have performed better within the network. Simultaneously, some heavily industrialized cities, such as Wuhan, Shenyang, and Chongqing, have been declining due to the difficulties associated with transformation. 3) Although the digital economy has reshaped China's urban network structure to a certain extent, the original urban pattern still plays a dominant role in the new system. The network spatial pattern of dense east and sparse west still exists, and provincial capitals and subprovincial cities still play a more significant role in the network than ordinary cities. 4) Network diffusion is typically a hierarchical diffusion between core nodes. Geographical proximity has a low constraint on network diffusion, and subsidiaries expand outward through hierarchical diffusion.

The Impact

The rapid development of the Chinese economy over the past several decades has stimulated new interest in the institutions, practices, and social formations that supported the development of business in China before the intensification of pressure from Western traders to conform to “modern” practices in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This article aims to provide a foundation for understanding merchant practice as it developed during the important years of market expansion during the last Chinese dynasty and to dispel some of the enduring myths about the Chinese merchant, his relationship to family, community, and the state, and the ideological constraints on his activities. To that end I examine several aspects of late imperial merchant culture, beginning with the everyday practices that allowed business to flourish in the Qing, turning next to the large social formations through which long-distance merchants in particular identified and pursued their interests, and ending with some preliminary thoughts on the impact of the laissez-faire policies of the last dynasty and their implications for post-Imperial China.

The Impact

Since the Industrial Revolution, human activities have led to the emission of a lot of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, sharply increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and resulting in serious global warming. With the rapid development of computer technology, the digital economy is gradually becoming the engine of economic growth. As a new economic mode, how the digital economy affects the environment is worth studying. In this paper, we introduced the digital economy into the Solow growth model as technological progress and conducted fixed-effects regressions based on the global panel data of 190 countries from 2005 to 2016. We found an inverted U-shaped, non-linear relationship between CO2 emissions and the digital economy, which supports the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis. We suggest that governments need to not only adopt hedging policies to reduce CO2 emissions caused by the digital economy in the early stage but also promote the development of the digital economy to achieve the goal of global collaborative environmental protection.

With the rapid development of the digital economy, understanding the relationship between the digital economy and the environment is increasingly important for sustainable development. This study mainly studies the nexus of digital economy development and environmental quality for 217 cities in China from 2003 to 2018. Specifically, this study first evaluates the degree of coupling coordination between the digital economy system and the environmental system. Results show that the coupling coordination degree between the digital economy system and the environmental system shows a fluctuating rise from 2003 to 2018. Furthermore, this study empirically investigates the impact of digital economy development on PM2.5, which represents environmental quality, and results show that digital economy development significantly reduces PM2.5. The above finding is still valid by using the quasi-natural experiment of broadband China for the robustness test. Urbanization, population density, and economic development have caused threshold effects. When the urbanization rate and population density exceed a certain threshold, the digital economy significantly inhibits PM2.5. In contrast, when the per capita GDP exceeds a certain threshold, the digital economy significantly promotes PM2.5. The digital economy mainly affects pollutant emissions through direct and technological effects.

Introduction. The transition to the digital economy and rapid development of information technologies actualize the task of companies to find new models of business management. The formation and development of the digital strategy integrated with business and HR strategies becomes prerequisite for ensuring the stable competitive position of enterprise in the market due to its transformation into the technological one. Personnel management is a dynamic subsystem of any enterprise, and qualitative rethinking of human resources management methods and technologies entails a significant impact on the results of the enterprise as a whole. It confirms the special importance of studying the impact of digitization on this area of management. The purpose of the paper is to study the features of personnel management of enterprises on the basis of digitalization. Results. Important aspects of digitization impact on enterprise personnel management are shown. It is focused the attention on the transformation of the most important subsystem of enterprise management – the system of personnel management under the influence of the digital economy. At the junction of digitalization and personnel management, a new form of management arises – digitalized personnel management. The main theoretical provisions of digitalized personnel management are considered, its principles, influence on the internal environment and the labor market as a whole are indicated. Conclusion. Personnel management is the most dynamic subsystem of the enterprise, and a qualitative rethinking of methods and technologies of personnel management entails a significant impact on the results of the enterprise as a whole. It confirms the special importance of studying the impact of digitalization on this area of management. Transformation of personnel management processes under the influence of digitalization is inevitable due to the evolution of enterprise management in general and it is a positive event, because entails increasing efficiency and shifting staff employment to more creative professions, which require unique knowledge, skills and abilities. Undoubtedly, such qualitative transformations will affect not only the internal environment of the enterprise, but also the labor market as a whole and in connection with it the education system. To achieve the positive effect of such transformations, comprehensive work is needed to implement them both at the level of individual enterprises and at the level of the national economic system. Modernization of personnel management methods may require significant investment in technology and communication, but the consequences of non-compliance with consumer experience can be significant not only for the reputation, brand, involvement and retention of employees, but also to achieve the key purpose of the enterprise.

The authors represent data on the state of the process of digitalisation of the Russian economy and draw a conclusion about the high level of the information infrastructure development along with that they note a great gap in the digitalisation level between regions. When assessing the impact of the development of Internet technologies on employment, two main consequences have been identified: the reduction of the impact of the geographical factor on the supply and demand in the labour market and the involvement of previously unoccupied social groups in the production process. The rapid development of the digital economy, the accelerated industrialisation of digital technologies such as the Internet, big data and cloud computing, have led to further improvements in computing power, a significant reduction in computing costs, and a significant leap in data analysis and processing capabilities. The purpose of the study is to analyse and evaluate the effects of economy digitalisation on employment. Within the framework of the research conducted, both general scientific and specific scientific methods were used: formal and logical research methods (the method of induction, deduction, analogy, synthesis, comparison, observation, description, systematisation), formal and legal, historical and legal, comparative and legal, institutional, system analysis. The paper analyses the current global economic and technological trends that affect the transformation and formation of new socioeconomic relations in the context of the digital economy formation. This article examines the impact of the development of digital information technologies on the labour market and employment. The authors represent data on the state of the process of digitalisation of the Russian economy and draw a conclusion about the high level of the information infrastructure development along with that they note a great gap in the digitalisation level between regions. The results of the study can be used in the work of public authorities at all levels to develop and adjust programmes for the further labour market development and to prevent unemployment.

In recent years, the digital economy has achieved rapid development, especially playing an irreplaceable role in improving employment patterns, creating job opportunities, and adjusting employment structure. A sudden outbreak in 2020 impacted people’s lives, and a large number of real economies faced the situation of delayed resumption of work, which caused problems such as shortage of funds, difficulty in sales, and layoffs. However, the digital economy has developed rapidly, ensuring social supply and promoting society. Consumption has played an important role. But the digital economy also inevitably brings a series of problems, which deepens the “digital divide”. This article defines the digital economy, lists its most distinctive features, explains the positive impact of the digital economy and the problems it may bring, and proposes countermeasures and suggestions for this.

Under the impact of COVID-19, research on behavior recognition are highly needed. In this paper, we combine the algorithm of self-adaptive coder and recurrent neural network to realize the research of behavior pattern recognition. At present, most of the research of human behavior recognition is focused on the video data, which is based on the video number. At the same time, due to the complexity of video image data, it is easy to violate personal privacy. With the rapid development of Internet of things technology, it has attracted the attention of a large number of experts and scholars. Researchers have tried to use many machine learning methods, such as random forest, support vector machine and other shallow learning methods, which perform well in the laboratory environment, but there is still a long way to go from practical application. In this paper, a recursive neural network algorithm based on long and short term memory (LSTM) is proposed to realize the recognition of behavior patterns, so as to improve the accuracy of human activity behavior recognition.

The impact of the last global economic crisis (2008) on the European economy put a strain on higher education (HE), yet it also pushed the sector towards intensive reforms and improvements. This paper focuses on the “Strategy for the Development of Higher Education in the Republic of Bulgaria 2014-2020”. With a case study methodology, we explore the strategic endeavours of the Bulgarian government to comply with the European directions and to secure sustainable growth for the HE sector. Our research question is ‘How capable is the Bulgarian HE Strategy to overcome the economic and systemic restraints of Bulgarian higher education?’. Because the development of strategies for HE within the EU is highly contextual, a single qualitative case study was chosen as the research approach. HE institutions are not ivory towers, but subjects to a variety of external and internal forces. Within the EU, this is obviated by the fact that Universities obtain their funds from institutions such as governments, students and their families, donors, as well as EU-level programmes. Therefore, to explore how these pressures interact to affect strategic action on national level, the case method is well suited as it enabled us to study the phenomena thoroughly and deeply. The paper suggests the actions proposed within the Strategy have the potential to overcome the delay, the regional isolation and the negative impact of the economic crisis on the country. Nevertheless, the key elements on which the success or failure of this Strategy hinges are the control mechanisms and the approach to implementation. Shortcomings in these two aspects of strategic actions in HE seem to mark the difference between gaining long-term benefits and merely saving face in front of international institutions.
