Vernon’s product cycle theory is reexamined and extended in the first half of this chapter. It did not originally address the recent environmental changes, the global economy, supply chain management, and the rise of developing countries. The geographic location of manufacturing facilities is discussed from the viewpoint of the innovations. The physical location at the beginning of the VCR industry is explained in the latter half of this chapter. Although there was a great global demand for the VCR from the beginning, Japanese companies exclusively manufactured almost all VCRs in Japan and exported them all over the world. Manufacturability is the critical factor at the beginning as Vernon’s product cycle theory demonstrated.

In the 21st century, the world became a sign of globalization: global conflicts, global disasters, global economy, global Internet, etc. The Polish researcher Casimir Zhigulsky defines globalization as a kind of process, that is, the target set of characteristic changes that develop over time and occur in the modern world. These changes in general are reduced to mutual rapprochement, reduction of distances, the rapid appearance of a large number of different connections, contacts, exchanges, and to increase the dependence of society in almost all spheres of his life from what is happening in other, often very remote regions of the world.

The Impact

COVID-19, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on the 11th of March 2020, leading to some form of lockdown across almost all countries of the world. The extent of the global pandemic due to COVID-19 has a significant impact on our lives that must be studied carefully to combat it. This study highlights the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown on crucial aspects of daily life globally, including; Food security, Global economy, Education, Tourism, hospitality, sports and leisure, Gender Relation, Domestic Violence/Abuse, Mental Health and Environmental air pollution through a systematic search of the literature. The COVID-19 global lockdown was initiated to stem the spread of the virus and ‘flatten the curve’ of the pandemic. However, the impact of the lockdown has had far-reaching effects in different strata of life, including; changes in the accessibility and structure of education delivery to students, food insecurity as a result of unavailability and fluctuation in prices, the depression of the global economy, increase in mental health challenges, wellbeing and quality of life amongst others. This review article highlights the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown across the globe. As the global lockdown is being lifted in a phased manner in various countries of the world, it is necessary to explore its impacts to understand its consequences comprehensively. This will guide future decisions that will be made in a possible future wave of the COVID-19 pandemic or other global disease outbreak.

Urgency of the research. Food problem issues take a prominent place in national security concepts of every developed country. In the context of Ukraine’s commitment to integration into the European community, the food problem is of prominent significance. Target setting. Given the global economy dynamics, the research of this problem is not exhaustive and needs new approaches to scientific research. Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. The problems of food support of the population reflected in the works of L. Brown (2011), O. Berezin (2011), L. Berezina (2011), V. Vlasov (2009), M. Lysak (2009), R. Maltus (1998), B. Paskhaver (2007), M. Puhachov (2014), A. Sen (1979), Ya. Stoliarchuk (2009), etc. Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. Existing mechanisms of formation and distribution of world food resources, international trade therein, and food aid do not create an efficient system to ensure sufficient food support around the world. Therefore, it is important to reason the forecast ratio of deficit and domestic production for certain types of food to satisfy the demand under WHO standards. The research objective. The purpose of the article is to identify the most and least vulnerable countries in terms of food security through the forecast ratio of deficit (shortage) and domestic production for certain types of food to satisfy the demand under WHO standards in particular parts of the world. The statement of basic materials. Prospects for tackling the global food issue by using trend, adaptive and integrated autoregressive models (Box-Jenkins and OLYMPUS models) have been analysed. The calculations herein have been provided by different parts of the world: Africa, America, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. Conclusions. The results show that almost all parts of the world are unable to provide the population with rational norms of major foods through domestic production.

At present, all countries of the world, including Kazakhstan, in the sphere of the global economy are solving the problem of increasing the rates of economic growth. Experience shows that special economic zones can be such “points of economic growth”. The level of economic development, geographic location, natural and climatic factors and a number of other factors, of course, distinguish Kazakhstan in terms of the existing potential for the development of special economic zones. The zones created in Kazakhstan have different specializations and, accordingly, different goals, which are solved with varying degrees of success. The real results of the functioning of SEZ in Kazakhstan are still difficult to be attributed to absolutely positive. Taking into account the ambiguous results of the activities of special economic zones, the state has been taking measures for a number of years to increase their efficiency and transform the institutional framework of their activities. The existing and new promising special economic zones are intended to contribute to the achievement of these goals. Therefore, it is necessary to expand the use of such a tool as SEZ in every possible way, to study methods to improve the efficiency of their functioning. This will make it possible to objectively assess the possible prospects for the creation and development of SEZ in the Kazakhstan’s economy.

The Thomas More Society of Buenos Aires begins or ends almost all its events by reciting in both English and Spanish a prayer written by More in the margins of his Book of Hours probably while he was a prisoner in the Tower of London. After a short history of what is called Thomas More’s Prayer Book, the author studies the prayer as a poem written in the form of a psalm according to the structure of Hebrew poetry, and looks at the poem’s content as a psalm of lament.
