This paper explores the dynamic relationship between stock market fluctuations and the business cycle. Presumably, stock market movements reflect positions taken by market participants based on their assessment about the current state of the economy. Given the forward-looking behavior of stock market investors, this paper explores the possibility of predicting business cycle turning points using promptly available financial variables. Stock market fluctuations and business cycles are represented by nonlinear dynamic factors at the monthly frequency. The proposed model generates predictions of business cycle turning points using the business cycle factor, and anticipation of these predicted turns using the stock market factor. The findings indicate that the extracted stock market factor is a leading indicator of the state of the business cycle and can be used to anticipate turning points in real time.

The role of blockchain in new business model development requires greater focus because the technology is still in its infancy. Thus, there has been little research on the effects of the various blockchain networks (such as public, private, and consortium). This finding prompted a thorough investigation of new blockchain-based business models created between 2012 and 2022 to close this gap. This review's focus is on journals, and duplicate articles have been removed. Works based on interviews, articles in press, non-English articles, reviews, conferences, book chapters, dissertations, and monographs are also not included. Seventy-five papers from the past ten years are included in this evaluation. This study examines the current state of new blockchain-based business models. Additionally, the implications and applications in the related literature have been investigated. These findings highlight numerous open research questions and promising new directions for investigation, which will likely be helpful to academics and professionals. The business strategies built on blockchain are currently on a path with a rapid upward trajectory. Blockchain technology offers businesses numerous chances to modify and develop new company models. By changing the conventional framework, blockchain innovation leads to the development of new methods for developing company models. The supportive potential of blockchain technologies such as NFT and P2E is increasingly being coupled with the development of new corporate projects and the modification of current business models. Since this field of study is still fairly new, researchers will have fresh opportunities to analyze its characteristics.

For many years international firms have been leveraging from the consistent growth rate of the Indian economy and, considering forecasts, will continue to do so in the future. This study identifies factors that influence the behaviour of business customers of international firms in emerging markets such as India. Based on the extant literature and in-depth personal interviews with practitioners, combined with a field survey, the authors have tried to understand the impact these factors have on the behaviour of business customers of international firms. The data were useful for testing the model developed using regression analysis and were found to be significant. The model demonstrates that the behaviour of local firms as customers of international firms in emerging markets is governed by factors such as business risk and a propensity to business sustainability. The model will be useful for international firms who wish to operate in emerging markets through local business firms that seek to associate with international firms.

This positioning paper is informed by our judgment that the mainstream research on business marketing and marketing in general is losing its relevance and vigor because it views business environments as narrow "markets" and focuses primarily on dyadic business relationships and their management. Sticking to this limited, economics-driven market view has detached the discipline from major real-world phenomena, leaving it with scant understanding of the contemporary environmental context of marketing and business strategy. Based on a focused reading of literature on business fields, business networks, business ecosystems, and market systems, we venture our own comprehensive theoretical framing of complex business environments summarized in two frameworks. In the pursuit of relevance our integration is avowedly simplifying as we strive for parsimony. Key points explicate the nested, multi-layered, multimodal, transitional and conditioned character of the business environment, and the dynamics, phases and processes of the evolution of that nested environment. We use the frameworks constructed, which form an initial theory of complex business environments, to supply a research agenda for business marketing and offer brief managerial conclusions.

Digital transformation and resultant business model innovation have fundamentally altered consumers' expectations and behaviors, putting immense pressure on traditional firms, and disrupting numerous markets. Drawing on extant literature, we identify three stages of digital transformation: digitization, digitalization, and digital transformation. We identify and delineate growth strategies for digital firms as well as the assets and capabilities required in order to successfully transform digitally. We posit that digital transformation requires specific organizational structures and bears consequences for the metrics used to calibrate performance. Finally, we provide a research agenda to stimulate and guide future research on digital transformation.

In this paper, a novel business process engineering method based on quality assessment is proposed. In the proposed method, a goal model is used to estimate the operational costs of business processes. Goals scenarios in the goal model of desired information systems are applied as a basis for estimating the design cost. Qualities of business requirements models and business process models are also estimated. Based on the quality metrics, the process of business process modeling is examined. Then, using XOR operator in the goal model, a simple and direct mapping of the goal model to the business process model is introduced. Common activities in the business process model are further factored and summarized using pre- and post-factoring operations. The proposed business process modeling method is language-independent. An ICT office in Mazandaran Power Distribution Company is used as a case study to exemplify QABPEM. Our evaluation results demonstrates the capability of the proposed method compared with the existing ones.

The results from this debate will provide a starting point for future theoretical and action research and a key aim of the proposed discussion paper is to encourage interested parties with diverse expertise to contribute and highlight their interest in future participation. The implications of this debate are profound and will impact upon Scotland in a variety of ways in terms of economic, cultural and community development. The role of those different groups involved - entrepreneurs, policy makers, practitioners, researchers and educators - will be key. The value of this paper lies primarily in its contribution to a debate and She call for further research in an area of key importance to the Scottish and, indeed, the UK economy.

This paper will discuss about how an E-business model is made and designed. While designing a business model seems like an easy job, designing a proper business model for E-business requires an understanding of the workings and difference of E-business and traditional business. While the goals of both businesses are similar, there are some distinct characteristics from E-business model which are studied on this journal. In defining the business model characteristics, we must first define what the business model is, and how it impacts the E-business and the realities in E-business. While E-business implementation is different between one another, depends on the business needs and situation, the characteristics of an E-business model have similarities with each other. On discussing the characteristics of the said E-business model, the characteristics itself will show the distinct advantage of E-business model if compared to the traditional business model. These advantages are also the characteristics of the E-business model, which must be used to the fullest extent to get the total benefits of the business model. Apart from advantages, E-business model will also face challenges and barriers, which can hamper development of a good business model, but by proper identification of the problem a solution can be synthesized.

Based on a business student survey, this article explores students' experiences, perceptions, attitudes, and motivation toward learning business information literacy (IL) skills. The survey received 413 responses and investigated topics including most encountered research tasks, use of research tools, most experienced feelings, self-rated research competencies, perceived research importance, interest to learn more, research scenarios, challenges, preferred learning settings and learning modes, motivational factors, the time commitment for learning, and preferred quality of a learning module. Incorporating students' suggestions on improving their IL skills, the article proposes to create six dynamic learning opportunities for students and shares ideas for realizing these opportunities through collaboration, integration, and experimentation.
