The chapter deals with the problems of digital modeling and the study of the interaction of the companies competing within the framework of bench-marking process for working out the strategy of effective increasing competitiveness that is advantageous for the urban economic growth. The companies are considered in the organizational field, representing iterative aggregate system of a big order with a nonlinear feedback where the order is defined by the number of differential equations. The system is described by coupled Van Der Pol differential equations with random right parts and a time lag. The model is built on the example of the market interaction of the two largest retailer networks. The developed model shows the mechanism of competition of the companies' pairs which are suggested to be investigated within the framework of the bench-marking concept.

To speed up urban economic development there is a need in radical transformation in the technological fields as well as in the field of mechanisms that encourage the creation and implementation of new technologies. The proposed chapter approach can become a methodological foundation of development and self-development of educational institutions on the principles of continuing education using digital technologies. The chapter deals with the methodology of creating a unified information educational environment, providing the implementation of lifelong learning, the development and implementation of educational models, programs, and media performed with the use of digital technologies. The chapter aims to develop conceptual approach to strategic control of continuing education, innovative development of regulation of educational institutions and to propose practical recommendations based on digital technology.

With the ubiquitous low-cost sensor devices and widespread use of IoT, the paradigm is shifted from urban areas towards a smart city. A smart city is an urban area that uses IoT technologies to collect data and manage resources efficiently. The vision is to improve the capabilities and to solve the citizens' problems (e.g., energy consumption, transportation, recycling, intelligent security, etc.) in an efficient way. A smart city is a multidimensional term including a smart economy, smart mobility, smart living, smart environment, smart people, and smart governance. Although the concept of a smart city is increasing and currently there exist many such cities in many developed countries, one of the key challenges faced by these cities is good governance. Smart cities need smart governance to run the city in a smarter way, and effective digital governance is a solution to this end. Digital governance refers to the use of digital technology in government practices.

This chapter presents an overview of smart technologies with description of using them in smart ways. It also explains the role of government flexibility as well as economic opportunity in developing smart cities. The direct and in direct impact of using smart technology on the life of citizens in a city are identified, covering the modalities as well as the enablers of such impacts. The chapter proceeds to examine the seven sectors essential of smart cities: healthcare, environment and public health, mobility and transport, energy, water, education, and security. For each sector, the significance of “smartness” is addressed with examples of how with digital transformation and usage of smart technologies citizens can greatly benefit. In general, this chapter acts as the main link between understanding smart technologies and sensors to actually employ them to enable smart living for citizens.

Due to the undeniable increase in the impact that artificial intelligence systems have on numerous aspects of society, the teaching-learning process is increasingly influenced by these, producing the need to know the participating agents and applicable approaches for their implementation. Therefore, the main purpose of this chapter is to obtain an overview of the elements and challenges involved in the application of artificial intelligent devices in education. In this sense, the information presented below characterizes some of these systems through the way in which they personalize learning based on the peculiarities of the students and makes specific reference to the operation of some of them, such as the intelligent tutor system and exploratory learning environments.

This chapter explores a fundamental tension of social media by considering their socially reproductive and (potentially) transformative function. The claim is that while media and communication technologies have historically fueled both aspiration and fear of social change, their ability to shape societies are contingent on the specific social relations in which they operate. By investigating social media's economic practices, primarily platform capitalism, the reproductive relations that support user-generated content that influence platform's capabilities to reproduce and transform existing social contexts are examined. To illustrate this, political discourse via social media platforms have been used to argue that social media's current capitalist mode of production exemplifies an antagonism between exploitative/emancipatory tendencies and reproductive/transformative aspects, which are further articulated by a liberal ideology.

Businesses today face more intense competition than in the past as a result of advancements in information and communication technologies. Supporting employees and developing positive relationships with their managers are critical for the organization's and employees' performance. Mobbing behaviour, which is prevalent in the workplace, has a detrimental effect on employees' performance and motivation. The purpose of this chapter was to assess an organization's mobbing behaviour from a management and marketing perspective and within the context of crisis management. The chapter also aimed to determine whether employee exposure to mobbing results in a significant difference in word-of-mouth communication (WOM). The research concluded that employee exposure to mobbing resulted in a significant difference in WOM.

In this chapter, the authors analyse the Chinese social credit system and its impact and implementation on Western democratic systems to address the challenges posed by terrorist threats and social tensions. The case around which this chapter is structured is the Chinese social credit, projected in a short period of time to other countries. This analysis focuses on the motivations that lead China to develop and implement this system and the type of policies pursued around social credit. The authors also analyse the tools on which it is based and the debate that the implementation of a system of population control of these dimensions brings about.

Proving ownership of the land should preferably be done with a legal document that proves it decisively. Many authorities retain various documents, any of which could be used to assert a claim on the land. To prevent document falsification, the land administration mechanism ought to be robust, accessible at all times, and quick to accomplish exercises. But, any such solutions are prone to a slew of issues, including data accuracy, security, and dispute resolution. Usage of blockchain technology in land administration is considerably advanced to solve issues that plague current LAS. With the adoption of blockchain, the problem of cooperation among a variety of land records is articulated. The proposed model has integrated units to digitally sign the land assets to store securely into the blockchain using cryptography algorithms after which land assets are verified. The proposed approach eliminates deception, improves administration. The results show that the time complexity for registering, signing, and verifying land facts to establish a system using blockchain is relatively secure.
