Usamos um método quantitativo por meio de survey, com consumidores residentes na Suécia e no Brasil. O teste de hipóteses foi realizado por meio de análise de regressão. Embora os países pesquisados ​​tenham diferentes estágios de industrialização e de desenvolvimento econômico, cada um com características únicas em relação às suas culturas nacionais, não há evidências de diferenças no WOM no efeito moderador da lealdade de ação. A principal contribuição deste estudo é o desenvolvimento e análise do efeito da lealdade de ação sobre o WOM e a respectiva diferença entre Brasil e Suécia. Os resultados são úteis para que os profissionais de varejo concentrem seus recursos no WOM entre os clientes que têm uma conexão pessoal entre si, a fim de fidelizar os clientes. Assim, este trabalho representa uma nova contribuição empírica para o campo do WOM, principalmente devido à abordagem da fidelização do cliente de consumidores online, especificamente quanto ao nível da lealdade (comportamento) apresentada.a cross-country analysis, between Brazilians and Swedes. We use a quantitative method by collecting answers from a survey, with consumers living in Sweden and in Brazil. The hypotheses test was realized by regression analysis. Although the countries surveyed have different stages of industrialization and economic development, each with unique characteristics in relation to their national cultures, there is no evidence of differences on WOM in the moderating effect of action loyalty. The main contribution of this study is the development and analysis of the effect of loyalty on WOM and the respective difference between Brazil and Sweden. The results are useful for retail professionals to focus their resources on WOM among customers who have a personal connection with each other, in order to gain customer loyalty. Thus, this work represents a new empirical contribution to the WOM field, mainly due to the approach being in online consumers, and to customer loyalty, specifically as the loyalty to the action (behavior) displayed by the customers.

The Relationship

Here, we use a sample of firms from 30 countries during the period 1995–2013 to examine the relationship between net operating working capital (NWC) and firm value. Specifically, we show that the value of NWC varies across countries and that it depends on both investor protection and a country’s financial and economic development. Our findings imply that shareholders value NWC more in countries with strong enforcement of investor rights, and greater financial and economic development. Jel Classification: G15; G18; G31; G32

Subject. The stable supply of food to people is a cornerstone for the national economic security, while a lack of food or its expensiveness may undermine the economy, principles of power, and cause panics and wars. Malnutrition and hunger are critical indicators of the insufficient foods supply. Objectives. The article indicates which countries have high risk of hunger, and predicts its further movement. I also evaluate factual trends in the availability of food across countries. Methods. The study refers to statistical data in public domain, including the FAOSTAT. I apply methods of ranking, abstraction, prediction. Results. I performed the cross-country analysis and discovered that 117 countries demonstrated signs of malnutrition. The article sets forth a technique for splitting countries into five groups by level of hunger risk. The article compares data on hunger in the countries and consequences of mortality and morbidity. I ranked countries by key types of agricultural products and explained their production growth rates for a span of 18 years. I predicted how countries would be ranked in terms of hunger from 2030 to 2050, and found the extent to which the hunger risk will escalate in more flourishing countries. Conclusions and Relevance. Hunger and shortage of food seem invincible in the countries where people are hungry or very hungry. Sometimes it appears almost impossible for respective governments to solve the issue. Triggering the systemic hunger, such factors and premises are beyond control of starving countries. Hence, the international community should provide their support and aid to them.
