Environmental challenges and problems in the new sector have been growing increasingly. This has contributed to the development of small and medium-sized businesses focused on environmental issues and green technologies. However, in addition to focusing on producing more green products, firms should also focus on how to manage them. The implementation of Ecological Activities is an effective method for an organisation to manage its environmental concerns and enhance its environmental efficiency. This study examines the impact of the ecological practises of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Karnataka. It also identifies effective ecological practises adopted by selected small and medium-sized enterprises. Quantitative data were obtained through a survey of 118 small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises located in the entire Mysore and Bengaluru area. Review of the results has shown that there is an optimistic rate of sustainable environmental practise among small and medium-sized businesses, with enhancement of green purchasing as a top priority, followed by waste reduction and recycling. The outcome has also demonstrated that energy efficiency is not greatly influenced by environmental practises. Based on the outcome, the conclusions of this research provide new pathways for the future research. It can be inferred that the introduction of sustainable practises is a method for small and medium-sized businesses to control and solve environmental problems and enhance environmental performance. Limitations and suggestions for future study are also discussed.

This paper conducts theoretical and empirical research on the structural mutation of China’s carbon emission allowance trading price. Firstly, it analyzes the possibility of price mutation from the perspective of market mechanism through theoretical analysis. Secondly, the Bai-Perron Multiple Breakpoint Test method is used to test the autoregressive model of the carbon valence sequence. It is found that the carbon emission price series of each pilot have multiple structural mutations, and the breakpoints often occur around the annual compliance date. It is believed that the compliance requirement is the direct internal factor that causes the sudden change in the carbon emission price structure. Combined with the observation of market transaction characteristics and the direction of price sudden changes, the analysis of the deeper internal causes of price sudden changes in the market lies in the poor ability of enterprises to actively manage quotas, low market transaction activity, and excessive total supply of quotas. Based on the problems and reasons reflected by the empirical test results, this paper finally puts forward three rationalization suggestions for the improvement of the carbon emission allowance trading market.

In the era of economic globalization and knowledge economy, how can enterprises gradually catch up with and even surpass powerful competitors? How can leading enterprises maintain their market position and create sustainable competitive advantage? These two issues have always been a hot topic in the field of strategic management. The success or failure of enterprise management is determined by many factors, and competitiveness is the most important and essential factor. In the new environment, grasping the formation and evolution law of enterprise competitiveness and promoting the sustainable and healthy growth of enterprises is an important topic to be solved in the research of strategic management. On the source of enterprise competitiveness, the academic circles mainly focus on four factors: Resource-based view (RBV), Knowledge-based view (KBV), Capability-based view (CBV) and Institution-based view (IBV).

Based on the composite perspective of product, consumer cognition and consumer emotion, this paper establishes a research model of consumer purchase behavior of agricultural products traceability information. Through the questionnaire survey of urban consumers in a city, the correlation analysis and regression analysis are used to calculate the influence coefficient of various kinds of traceability information on consumer purchase behavior. This paper empirically analyzes consumers’ preference for traceability information of fresh agricultural products. The results show that: the group of online purchase of traceable fresh agricultural products is mainly young women aged 26 - 35; most of them have higher education level and stable income level. Traceability information, food safety, product display, shopping experience, safety value, information value and economic value of fresh agricultural products have significant positive effects on customers’ purchasing behavior. Finally, it is proposed that enterprises should improve the traceability information of fresh agricultural products according to the needs of customers, so as to avoid the high cost caused by the pursuit of too much traceability information.

With the development of fintech and artificial intelligence, machine learning algorithms are widely used in quantitative investment. Based on the listed companies in China A-share market from February 2005 to July 2020, quantitative stock selection models with machine learning algorithms are established to obtain continuous alpha returns. The results show that machine learning algorithms can effectively identify the relationship between factors and returns and then improve the performance of the quantitative stock selection model. China A-share market is a weak-form efficient market. By mining the factors that are not fully digested by the market, continuous alpha returns can be obtained. The ensemble algorithms represented by the extremely randomized tree (ET) and light gradient boosting machine (LGBM) perform best in stock market prediction.

The global COVID-19 outbreak at the beginning of 2020 has had a great impact on many global industrial chains, and triggered a systematic risk of chain breakage. By studying the actual supply chain strategy and the change trend of supply chain strategy in representative countries and enterprises, this research predicts the short-term, medium-term and long-term impact of COVID-19 epidemic on global supply chain. Among them, the short-term and medium-term impacts include encouraging enterprises to improve the flexibility of supply chain by constructing supply chain digital platform, supply chain diversification system and supply chain early warning system; in the medium and long term, the global supply chain layout will change from globalization to regionalization, and some high-end manufacturing industries will have a backflow trend. Our government needs to establish an early warning system of industrial supply chain security as soon as possible in the short term, promote the industrial Internet platform in the short and medium term, continuously support the healthy and efficient development of the supply chain, and adjust the industrial layout in the medium and long term to cope with the global supply chain adjustment.

The theory of labor supply consists of two major theories: neoclassical theory and reference dependence theory. However, the theories are both interoperable and contradictory. Through the literature review of the development of labor supply theories and combined with the study on current development status of China’s taxi industry, this paper made a study on the elasticity of labor supply of Chinese taxi drivers. The theories and models of labor supply are sorted out and analyzed by taking the Chinese taxi industry as an example to be the basis for a further empirical research.
