New Millennium

The world has registered a remarkable economic progress during the past century and a half. But, the economic growth has not been a steady upward swing or a smooth and progressive. movement. Every business house - be it a manufacturing unit or a software service firm -has experienced upward and downward swings. Periods of prosperity have alternated periods of adversity. The dawn of the new millennium has ushered in several structural changes in the Indian and World economy, thus minimising the impact of certain environmental factors on business and bringing to focus some hitherto less significant forces. Global environment has suddenly become all too important and technological boom, too, is assuming greater relevance. The current journal has been brought out issues related to the challenges and opportunities in the new millennium as an effort at incorporating and understanding the shifts and changes in the business atmosphere covering finance, marketing, management, stress on managers and executives, the social impact of business actions, eco-friendliness, women executives and the more recently developed world wide web, which has shrunk the world by its sheer speed and effectiveness. The journal aims at reflecting the popular mood of businessmen who are busy scouting the globe for joint ventures, while other venture-seekers are doing their rounds in search of newer avenues to set up their business points. The time is rife now for all organisations and educational institutions to seek newer outlets to preserve their resources and to share their achievements while trying to aid in the transformation of society's needs into more purposeful existence, rather than to ignore the surrounding environment and encourage self-destruction.

This paper focuses on the dynamic of the recent upheaval in the tourism and hospitality sector due to the COVID-19 epidemic in Greece and Santorini island. It uses the case study of a country one-fourth of whose GDP consists of tourism. We compare the available statistical data showing the change in variables in the previous years with 2020 and look into the new challenges and opportunities posed by the drop in the numbers of visitors and flights. We focus mainly on the economic and social impact on the destination and possible future scenarios for further development in the area. Data show a significant effect of the pandemic on multiple variables, such as the long-term trend of the importance of tourism sector in GDP in Greece, the number of flights and visitors to Greece and Santorini island, and the contribution of tourism and travel to GDP. Based on the available data, we also construct three foresight scenarios that describe the possible futures for Santorini island in terms of the pandemic evolution. These scenarios may help various stakeholders and policymakers to be better prepared for different developments that may appear.

This study aims at exploring the impact of economic globalization factors on the gravity economic systems. Nonetheless, the basis of the research is a gravity economic system exposed to the impacts of globalization, and the concern is to explore the effects of the exposure on the influences of distance and economic sizes on the model. Recognizing the role of population growth and globalization in driving bilateral trade follows is one of the objectives of this research as should be part of an economic model. The study used the modified gravity and globalization variables, data retrieved from the CEPII, the World Fact-book, and the World Bank. The ordinary squares regression and STATA statistical software were used to investigate the hypotheses. The model leading to the general hypothesis that globalization is reducing the cost of entry, and total time required to set up a business and to minimize the bureaucracy associated with registering businesses and launching operations. The trade flow latent variable should contain information on export, import, free trade agreements, preferential trade agreements, and union memberships, which would help in identifying globalization factors that mediate the interaction between global variables and bilateral trade responses.

Abstract One of the biggest threats to humanity are pandemics. In our global society they can rage around the world with an immense toll in terms of human, economic and social impact. Forecasting the spreading of a pandemic is, therefore, paramount in helping governments to enforce a number of social and economic measures, apt at curbing the pandemic and dealing with its aftermath. We demonstrate that the epidemic renormalisation group approach to pandemics provides an effective and simple way to investigate the dynamics of disease transmission and spreading across different regions of the world. The framework also allows for reliable projections on the impact of travel limitations and social distancing measures on global epidemic spread. We test and calibrate it on reported COVID-19 cases while unveiling the mechanism that governs the delay in the relative peaks of newly infected cases among different regions of the globe. We discover that social distancing measures are more effective than travel limitations across borders in delaying the epidemic peak. We further provide the link to compartmental models such as the time-honoured SIR-like models. We also show how to generalise the framework to account for the interactions across several regions of the world, replacing or complementing large scale simulations.

The purpose of the article is to consider the practical aspects of the structural transformation of economy. Over the past few decades, absolutely all national economies have undergone structural changes, regardless of their size, economic system and all other political or economic differences. The transformation of structures was associated with many factors, including institutional changes, technological changes, the widespread introduction of the results of scientific and technological progress, globalization and integration processes. At the same time, it should be noted that not all structural changes had a positive effect for all countries, even though the changes had almost the same trend of growth in the share of the service sector, a decrease in the share of agriculture and manufacturing. This article is an attempt to systematize the main trends and consequences of structural transformations in the world. The authors put forward the hypothesis that the world economy tends to “servicization” and deindustrialization, which has dialectical significance for the world economy. To assess the structural changes, we analyzed the data of the World Bank to study the dynamics of changes in the sectoral structure of the countries of the world in the period from 1990 to 2019. A very great influence on these processes was exerted by globalization, which through its mechanisms made possible a rapid change in industry proportions not only in the developed world, but also in developing countries, while forming a global trend of “servicization” of the economy. The authors tried to conduct a comparative analysis of the impact of each economic sector on GDP using a regression model based on panel data from more than 180 countries of the world presented by the World Bank.

The Impact

The article points out that a well-functioning information space serves as a basis for boosting economic development and for building a civil society. It is emphasized that despite constant changes in the structure of information space, advertising has been and will be its important component or even driving force. The paper highlights how researchers discuss this issue, and concludes that there are a lot of aspects which have not been considered yet, and need to be studied in detail. It is claimed that one of such aspects is dynamics of structural changes in dissemination of advertising. For the purpose of the study, methods of statistical and econometric analysis, synthesis, generalization and comparison are used. The paper provides an analysis of the global advertising business and calculates percent- ages of advertising expenditures by categories in 2004, 2016 and 2018. Based on the results achieved, it is concluded that the share of advertising expenditures in the global GDP has decreased. It is also stressed that the rivalry between television commercials and Internet advertisements will be more intensive. The impact of the country’s GDP on advertising expenditures is assessed, and it is found that, if per capita GDP grows by $1,000, advertising expenditures will increase by $11 with $5.3 on Internet and $2.3 on television advertisements. The significant growth of Internet users in the world and per 100 of inhabitants in 2001-2017 is driven primarily by young people aged 15-24. Advertising expenditures have doubled in social networks recently. The paper provides an analysis of advertising expenditures by world regions, and percentages of advertising expenditures in Ukraine by categories in 2004 and 2016. It is concluded that advertising expenditures represent just a marginal share in Ukraine’s GDP (0.33 per cent), only half as much as in the world and seven times less than in the developed countries.
