The development of industrial cooperation creates fundamental and long-term foundations for BRICS current and future economic partnership. It was reflected in recently adopted Strategy for BRICS Economic Partnership 2025. At the same time, realization of the existing potential of industrial cooperation cannot take place without taking into account the development of new global trends. These trends and respective factors influence companies` business strategies and government regulatory policies significantly. As a result, both traditional factors and novel challenges, such as comprehensive digitalization processes in global economy and trade, technical and technological development of different industries and global value chains, the pressure of trade conflicts resulted in accumulation of protectionism in trade policies and the ongoing crisis associated with the COVID-19 pandemic should be considered thoroughly. In the case of the BRICS countries the existing incentives for the reconfiguration of GVCs and the enhancement of their resilience and reliability can be implemented in the strengthening of trade and industrial ties and the diversification of suppliers and markets through the development of cooperation with the partner countries. To realize these opportunities, it is necessary to ensure favorable regulatory basis both in traditional areas (trade and investment liberalization, convergence in domestic regulation) and in the framework of modern trends that are gaining momentum: increasing cooperation in e-commerce, trade facilitation, developing scientific, technological and innovative cooperation, addressing infrastructural issues in order to reduce transport and logistics costs and expand trade and industrial cooperation..

Big data analytics (BDA) is a wide and deep application in e-commerce, which impacts positively on the global economy, especially the U.S. and China who have done well. This paper seeks to examine the relative influence of theoretical research and practical activities of BDA in e-commerce to explain the differences between the U.S. and China according to the two main literature databases, Web of Science and CNKI, respectively, and by employing other samples that present retail e-commerce sales and the number of some data companies founded in the U.S. and China each year. We further determine the reasons leading to the difference between the U.S. and China in BDA in e-commerce, which can help managers devise appropriate business strategies in e-commerce for each of them, and provide a proof of the significant relationship of theoretical research and practical activities in BDA in e-commerce. In addition, the variables related to big data companies show a moderation effect rather than mediating effect relative to the practice of theoretical research in e-commerce in the United States, but they show a moderate effect and mediating effects in China. The results of this study help clarify doubts regarding the development of China’s e-commerce. Moreover, three orientations in e-commerce using BDA and the use of quantum computing in e-commerce to solve existing e-commerce problems are explored to provide better evidence for decision-making that could be valuable in future research.

The introduction of new medicines has dramatically improved the quantity and quality of individual and public health while contributing trillions of dollars to the global economy. In spite of these past successes--and indeed because of them--our ability to deliver new medicines may be quickly coming to an end. Moving from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present, A Prescription for Change reveals how changing business strategies combined with scientific hubris have altered the way new medicines are discovered, with dire implications for both health and the economy. To explain how we have arrived at this pivotal moment, Michael Kinch recounts the history of pharmaceutical and biotechnological advances in the twentieth century. Kinch relates stories of the individuals and organizations that built the modern infrastructure that supports the development of innovative new medicines. He shows that an accelerating cycle of acquisition and downsizing is cannibalizing that infrastructure Kinch demonstrates the dismantling of the pharmaceutical and biotechnological research and development enterprises could also provide opportunities to innovate new models that sustain and expand the introduction of newer and better breakthrough medicines in the years to come.

AbstractProfessional money management appears to require little skill, yet its practitioners command astronomical salaries. Singh's theory of shamanism provides one possible explanation: Financial professionals are the shamans of the global economy. They cultivate the perception of superhuman traits, maintain grueling initiation rituals, and rely on esoteric divination rituals. An anthropological view of markets can usefully supplement economic and psychological approaches.
