Changing lifestyles, economic facts, cultures in the world globalisation oriented. These changes can be described as Globalisation. Another factor affecting globalisation is the developments in information and communication technologies. With the development of technology, communication between countries has strengthened. Depending on the development of technology, the process of Globalization has also started. With the development of information and communication technology, what can reach the desired information quickly, and the selected country can be contacted soon. The story of technology in this context has enabled many brands to be unable to fit into the domestic market and to open up to the foreign market. The opening of brands to foreign markets has become mandatory with Globalisation. In the research, the differences between Globalisation and glocalisation are discussed. In this context, the research is based on the motto of Roland Robertson's theory of glocalisation, "Think globally, act locally". The global marketing strategies of Coca Cola and McDonald's companies, which are among the international brands that adopt the motto mentioned earlier, are analysed to determine how they deliver the messages in the strategies they apply. Quantitative research in examining the data obtained in accordance with the purpose of the research. Content analysis, one of the methods, was used. Text analysis is one of the essential elements of the semiotic method. In this method, the connotations to be given while analysing the text are analysed. Every existing symbol has a message it wants to convey or convey, and the semiotic method enables this message to emerge.

Investment decisions are a part of most people's lives. In a unique situation, each person makes such decisions. Both technical and fundamental analysis can be used to make logical investing decisions. The goal of this study is to do fundamentals evaluation of Bangladesh's top five NBFIs, as listed on the DSE, determining the substantial difference between selected variables by comparing them side by side. Descriptive and inferential statistics are used by the researchers in this work. The authors took the top five NBFIs, IDLC, LankaBangla, ICB, BDFinance, and Prime Finance as a sample and used secondary data from 2015 to 2020. According to the findings of this study, IDLC and LankaBangla have the highest average ROEs of 19.35 and 13.61, respectively. Prime Finance has the lowest P/E ratio (10.75), followed by IDLC (10.75), LankaBangla (14.14), and ICB (10.86). The biggest dividend yields are 5.91 and 5.16 percent for LankaBangla and IDLC, respectively, followed by 1.60 percent for ICB and so on ICB, Prime Finance, and BD Finance have the highest dividend payout ratios (81.05) and IDLC has the second-highest dividend payout ratio (71.19). IDLC has the second-highest P/E ratio (2.13), while LankaBangla has the third-highest P/B ratio (1.48). Finally, in terms of earnings per share (EPS), IDLC has the greatest average EPS (5.72), ICB is second (3.09), LankaBangla is third (2.32), and so on. Alternative hypotheses (H1.1, H1.2, H1.3, H1.4, H1.5, and H1.6) have been accepted, indicating that significant differences exist among the variables studied. As a result, all of the chosen variables varied significantly. Ultimately, this research will assist investors in making informed investment decisions, and the management of the top five NBFIs will be able to perform better by following the proposed recommendations.

Financial performance analysis is the process of determining the operating and financial characteristics of a firm from accounting and financial statements. The literature provided some evidence to support a positive association between strategies that banks follow while mange the liquidity and risk and banks performance. In Libyan context, no studies have explored the characteristics of risk management in general and specifically liquidity risk management, or the effect of such management on banks performance. Libyan commercial banks operating in the western region were identified as the study's population. Boards of directors and members of risk committees, executive managers, and department heads of Libyan commercial banks were among the potential constituents. Liquidity risk management, as well as financial performance, were the primary criteria for selecting these special interest groups. Sample size was carefully chosen, and structured questionnaires were given to participants to elicit their opinions and knowledge about the impact of bank risk management on the financial performance of universal banks in this study. A partial least squares (PLS) technique was used to analyse the empirical data using structural equation modelling (SEM). Banks' liquidity risk management and financial performance, as measured by bank managers' perceptions, had a significant positive relationship. Thus, liquidity risk management is a major antecedent for the financial performance in the Libyan banking industry.

This research aims to explore the use of LinkedIn as a tool for B2B customer acquisition, in order to tap into a timely issue faced by many sales and partnerships personnel working digitally in globally dispersed sales teams. The research problem and data are based on Organization X and signifies the bottleneck in the sales process lying in not receiving an initial response from the potential clients who are contacted through LinkedIn. Hence the research objective is to identify the factors affecting this low conversion rate, and to understand LinkedIn behavioural patterns and preferences of working professionals in the Asia Pacific region. The key variables explored are message length, message subject, prior knowledge, and LinkedIn usage frequency, which have been proved to have a weak relationship with the rate of responsiveness, whereas the preference for being approached through channels other than LinkedIn, such as email and through fellow employees have been recorded to be higher. Preference has also been observed for shorter, precise messages with informative message subjects, which would lead to higher tendency of replying to B2B related messages on LinkedIn.

Composed of an assortment of countries with vast differences in economic and political development, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has historically been slow to embrace integration. The region consists of a diverse mix of countries with complex colonial legacies, ongoing warfare, tribal and religious enmity, and extreme wealth disparity. Recent advances in technology have the potential to enable greater cohesion and development. One such innovation is blockchain, an immutable distributed ledger technology that eliminates intermediaries and revolutionizes how transactions take place over the Internet. While originating as the technology underlying Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, blockchain has been applied in many other areas in which data integrity and transparency is vital and has been adopted around the world. This paper explores blockchain adoption in the MENA region, focusing on the financial systems, government policies, and innovation ecosystems within the member countries. Huge discrepancies in the levels of development and adoption of the technology in the MENA countries are revealed, with Israel and several of the oil-rich Gulf states being the most advanced. Examples of blockchain-related collaborations among MENA nations are presented and the future trajectory of blockchain adoption is explored.

This empirical and survey based research has been undertaken in Southeast Nigeria, with the objective of identifying the influence of staff attrition on performance of manufacturing firms. The population of the study consists of one hundred and seventy– seven (177) manufacturing firms. Complete enumeration was adopted and so there was no need for sampling as all the selected manufacturing firms was used. The study used primary data which was collected using one research instrument namely, questionnaires. The secondary data have been collected from books, journals, dissertation and conference proceedings. Cronbach alpha was administrated to test the stability of the scale. Pearson’s product moment correlation techniques and simple linear regression were used to analyze and test the hypotheses. The result of the test hypotheses revealed that staff educational level and working conditions have a significant positive influence on firm’s performance on selected manufacturing firms in southeast Nigeria. The study concluded that staff attrition affect firm’s performance adversely in the manufacturing sector. Hence the most damaging consequences of attrition in the manufacturing sector in Nigeria include; recruitment cost, training cost, impact on the on-going productions or services and most importantly, loss of productivity in the firm. The study recommended that management should improve the working conditions of the staff and also ensure that the right people are in the right jobs, introduce 360-degree performance feedback so that individual staff is evaluated based on performance and not based on educational qualification alone.

Lack of graduate employability has become a crucial phenomenon among higher education providers and employers in different countries. Several attributes were found as significant determinants in enhancing graduate employability in previous studies. However, few studies relating to graduate employability have been examined in the context of Bangladesh where a large number of students are gaining their graduation hats from public and private universities and other institutions every year. Hence, to shed light on this issue, researchers aimed to examine the determinants of graduate employability in Bangladesh. Using the purposive sampling technique, survey data was collected from final year students and recent graduates. A total of 200 data was analysed using multiple linear regression. The results showed that career education and interpersonal and information technology (IT) skills significantly enhanced graduate employability. Discussions and implications of the findings have been articulated along with the concluding remarks at the end of the study.
