Given the trends of 2020-2021, namely changes in the lifestyle of the world's population due to quarantine restrictions, it should be noted that the market of smokehouses, grills, barbecues and ...accessories to them was changed significantly. The study considers the segmentation of producers of smokehouses, grills and barbecues by type of product (gas, electric, coal) and consumer use (commercial and domestic). The dynamics of development of the world market of smokehouses, grills, barbecues and accessories to them in 2015-2025 is characterized (according to forecasts). The analysis of the regional structure of production and sales is carried out. The key players in the world market of smokehouses, barbecues, grills, barbecues and accessories to them were identified. Innovative solutions of manufacturers in recent years in this market were presented. It is concluded that the global and Ukrainian market of barbecues and grills is showing a positive trend in recent years, i.e. it has opportunities for growth as the number of restaurants and hotels increases and more and more people choose barbecue food. Priority steps are proposed for the entry of Ukrainian producers of smokehouses, grills, barbecues and accessories to them, which are not world market leaders in foreign markets. It is noted that it is difficult for Ukrainian producers to compete for the expansion of foreign markets. However, an effective tool in this case is the development of an effective marketing strategy, as well as the transfer of some tasks from the marketing of foreign markets to outsourcing. Accordingly, the identification of trends and prospects for the world market of smokehouses, grills, barbecues and accessories allows Ukrainian producers to develop and implement an export strategy to increase competitiveness and introduce the latest innovative technologies.

This article is devoted to the review of the world market of unmanned vehicles. It is noted that the global automotive market is now showing two key trends. This is electric mobility (replacement of ...batteries in electric vehicles with fuel cells) and the transition to digitally connected cars. For the formation of future mobility in the EU, for example, there are two key areas. First, it is a transition from managing people (a car driven by a driver) to a car without a driver and controlled by computing and communication, and secondly, a transition from individual to common ownership of vehicles. In the EU, issues of the development and use of unmanned vehicles are considered at the highest level and are considered a strategic area of robotics and artificial intelligence, including, and are the subject of the most serious scientific areas. The article also provides an overview of US legislative initiatives aimed at developing and regulating the market for unmanned vehicles. In fact, it is proposed to allocate special lanes with the described mode of use of unmanned vehicles throughout the country. It is noted, for example, that the deployment of unmanned vehicles makes it possible to more densely pack cars on US roads. Increasing the speed while reducing the intervals between vehicles from a two-second standard to 0.5 seconds can increase the number of cars and the capacity of roads three times. As a result, 50-70% penetration of unmanned vehicles into the US fleet can increase throughput by about 50 percent. Alleviating this way, alleviating the congestion of “bottlenecks” on the roads can subsequently save $ 48 billion in fuel costs and time.
Due to the environmental impacts of fossil fuels, agro-industrial residues have become a viable alternative for a more ecological production of fuels. This research aims to investigate Brazil's ...participation in the technology developments by using biomass to produce second-generation ethanol. Searches were carried out using technological information contained in patent documents applied worldwide. The results showed an increase in the number of patents applied between 2006 and 2015, but not enough for the sector to reach technological maturity to deal with the great challenges faced by industrial plants on a commercial scale. Public investments have directly impacted the creation of inventions associated with second-generation ethanol. Among the players, Chinese public organizations stand out, as well as North American companies and, to a much less extent, Brazilian universities. Most private companies originated from traditional petrochemical sectors, evidencing a strategic movement of capital already established to meet the growing trends towards biofuels. Despite being the second-largest ethanol producer globally, Brazil has low national technological development. Even though a recent downturn was felt, it is concluded that the sector faces a favorable scenario in the production of biofuels for the coming decades, based on new technological routes.
This intervention responds to a series of articles—including one published in Antipode—on what is referred to as “new” state capitalism (NSC) or sometimes, simply, state capitalism. Our overarching ...argument is that by eliding state and institutionalist theory and, specifically, separating the analysis of state transformation from the power and leverage of social forces under late capitalism, NSC scholars end up offering an inaccurate, inchoate and incoherent conceptualisation and analysis of important phenomena. Our contention is that future work needs to return to socio‐relational analyses of the state, prioritising the power and leverage of social forces operating under patterns of accumulation characterised by more‐integrated‐than‐ever‐before global economic‐market relations and the concentration of productive and financial capital.
The article answers the question: what are the distinctive features of the global legal services market in the context of globalization, as well as what place and role it occupies in international ...trade and trade policy? The study is divided into 3 parts. The first part structures the main theoretical aspects concerning the legal services world market: the concept and classification of legal services, forms and methods of international trade in legal services. The second part analyzes the market indicators of the global legal services market, characterizes the main problems and trends in its development. The place and role of Russia in the global legal services market are revealed. The third part deals with the foreign trade policy issues, mechanisms for protecting the internal market. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the Services Trade Restrictiveness Index for legal services. The mechanism of countries foreign trade policies influence on the British legal services sector is illustrated in the context of Brexit.
In the process of globalization and international integration, the formation of a rational sequence of sales planning is becoming increasingly important for companies engaged in foreign economic ...activity. This type of management activity contributes to obtaining additional profits through the full use of the advantages of international labor and international integration, as well as by identifying opportunities for the development of foreign economic activity of organizations. The relevance of the chosen topic lies in the need for companies to always develop and improve sales activities through increased competition and the rapid development of foreign economic relations. Because the key to the «survival» of enterprises in today’s market economy is a well-established effective sales policy and its purposeful development. The article defines the structure and components of sales activities. Also, an important role and priority of effective management of the sales system in increasing the competitiveness of enterprises in world markets is specified. The peculiarities of understanding the term of «sales» in both the narrow and the broad sense are analyzed. Different approaches to determining the basic concepts of sales activity are systematized. The place of sales in the enterprise management system is considered. The main characteristics of strategic and tactical management of sales system are analyzed. The peculiarities of sales management at enterprises are distinguished. The strategic and operational solutions in the creation of sales system are examined. The current state of foreign economic and sales activity of the service company «Master Service» LLC is considered and ways to improve its foreign economic activity are proposed.
Existing approaches at explaining accelerated internationalization of born global firms are incomplete as they do not capture the learning that is undertaken by these firms and their founders prior ...to the firm's legal establishment. Building on the extant literature and drawing on the dynamic capabilities view of competitive strategy, this paper presents a conceptual model of born global firm internationalization. We conjecture that a set of dynamic capabilities that are built and nurtured by internationally-oriented entrepreneurial founders enable these firms to develop cutting-edge knowledge intensive products, paving the way for their accelerated market entry. We develop propositions and offer concluding remarks.
The article presents the question of the effect of the effectiveness of various elements of cultivation technologies on the competitiveness of Camelina sativa and the profitability of its cultivation ...on acidic, low–fertility sod-podzolic soils. Fertilizers are one of the fast-acting and effective factors in increasing the yield of Camelina sativa. It was established that introduction of mineral fertilizers had a significant impact on competitiveness of Camelina sativa seeds. Dependence of productivity elements and yielding capacity on crops has been determined. It was established that spring cruciferous crops had different seed productivity. According to the results of conducted research, it was found that the highest seed yielding capacity among spring cruciferous crops had spring Brassica napus L., but the oil content in Camelina sativa seeds was 46.53%, which is 4.08% more than in Brassica napus L. Therefore, oil outcome from the yield of Brassica napus L. and Camelina sativa was almost the same.
This study examines the empirical controversy over the pricing effect of the Easley, Hvidkjaer, and O׳Hara (2002) probability of information-based trading, PIN, on a sample of 30,095 firms from 47 ...countries worldwide. Contrary to the empirical evidence of Easley, Hvidkjaer, and O׳Hara, but consistent with that of Duarte and Young (2009), we do not find that PIN exhibits a positive effect on a cross section of expected stock returns in international markets. Alternative information-based trading measures also display no effect on expected stock returns, corroborating our finding that information risk proxied by PIN, in general, has no pricing effect in world markets.
China and the USA are caught up in an exacting and complex competition for world hegemony. Both countries seek to instrumentalise the world market to their advantage and deploy their global power ...strategies at monetary, financial and economic levels, the USA as a means to maintain its global hegemony China to challenge this order and establish its own dominance. The current function of the national currency of the largest international net debtor as the dominant world money entails a systemic market-logical contradiction. Rising tensions between the USA and its allies and China will not be reduced by the renminbi becoming a world money.
