Therefore, various businesses are focused on adopting this technology to enhance their business. However, due to challenges, not all organizations can adopt AI for their business functions. Considering the importance of AI and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the economy, this study aimed to examine the challenges and prospects of AI for SMEs. The study performed review-based research to examine past literature to determine the key challenges facing SMEs in AI integration. It was noted in the results that costs and technical requirements of AI remain the topmost challenges for SMEs to implement AI. These challenges remain the major hindrance to the adoption of AI, and thus, this study analyzes these issues deeply to provide organizations with the insight to overcome these problems. The study also noted that the prospects of AI in SMEs are great as the costs of AI are reducing, and with more research and development, AI integration will become more convenient. Therefore, this research provides key details into the problems facing AI adoption contemporarily and how they can be solved in the future.","PeriodicalId":15974,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Governance and Regulation","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135685791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We estimated the covariance of currency devaluation and volatilities in global oil prices caused by the COVID-19 outbreak on WAMZ economies from January 30 to December 30, 2020. The BEKK model was estimated for analysis. The results from generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) show that all variance equation coefficients, are significant, suggesting strong volatility transmission and spillovers between the COVID-19 outbreak and oil price shocks on the economic performance of WAMZ. The estimates obtained for both current and lagged gross domestic product (GDP) equations are relatively similar. Consequently, all WAMZ economies weakly responded to shocks arising from fluctuations in international oil prices, volatility of inflation rate, and excess devaluation caused by the COVID-19 outbreak. The instabilities in oil prices and devaluation caused by the COVID-19 outbreak had decelerating consequences on the output growth of WAMZ economies. The estimated covariance effects of oil price shock and currency devaluation are negative for all countries in the study. A 1 percent devaluation-oil price shock caused by the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in negative output growth rates of 1.3 percent, 1.12 percent, 1.1 percent, and 1.09 percent in Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Ghana, and The Gambia, respectively.","PeriodicalId":15974,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Governance and Regulation","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135182909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their concentration is now not only on the highest possible achievements but also contribution to the economic development of society. The study aims to analyze the gender-based trends in education attainment, specifically below upper secondary education, post-secondary non-tertiary education, and tertiary education, for the period of 2007–2021 in ten economically developed countries with the highest gross domestic product (GDP), as well as examine the relationship between education attainment and GDP growth. The result shows that men have a higher percentage of attainment than women in below upper secondary education and upper secondary non-tertiary education. Conversely, women have a higher percentage of education attainment at the highest level: tertiary education. Moreover, the analysis indicates a direct relationship between below-secondary and upper-secondary non-tertiary education and GDP growth, while a direct relationship exists between GDP growth and tertiary education. Consequently, policies for reducing gender disparities should be in place to stimulate the enrolment of young adults in those professions that contribute more to the economic output. The research has its limitations in that other countries are not included in the study and the quality of studies is not taken into consideration.","PeriodicalId":15974,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Governance and Regulation","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135609991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the findings of previous studies such as Geng et al. (2015), Islam et al. (2019) and Alnaim et al. (2022) and the dire need for further exploration, the researchers developed the conceptual framework and model for confirmation in the context of Saudi Arabia. The researchers applied a quantitative approached and utilized 248 valid samples to infer the results. The findings of the study reveal a positive and significant effect of environmental protection (EP), knowledge of the environment (KoE) and environmental values (EVs) on BEBs. On the other hand, ERPs have a negative and insignificant effect on BEBs. Furthermore, ERPs mediate the relationship between EP, KoE, EVs and BEBs. The study findings would assist policymakers and environmental protection agencies in developing BEBs among all the country’s citizens. Besides, the results of a study would also support individuals in establishing BEBs regarding the recycling of restorative materials by avoiding the use of hazardous materials which is harmful to the environment and the healthy lives of human.","PeriodicalId":15974,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Governance and Regulation","volume":"105 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135698870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the escalating threats associated with this acceptance are alarming, as cyber fraudsters continually imitate and execute grievous attacks on corporate entities. While much is known about the various dimensions of malware attacks and defense (Sharmeen et al., 2019), little attention has been given to how malware affects the socio-economic survival of organizations in Nigeria, particularly in Cross River State. This article aims to bridge this knowledge gap by presenting empirical evidence on how malware victimization impacts organizational survival in the study area. Through the use of questionnaires and in-depth interviews, a sample of 1,074 research participants, including bank staff, industrial workers, and telecommunication staff, was selected from Cross River State using a multi-stage sampling technique. The findings reveal a significant increase in malware victimization among corporate organizations in Cross River State, resulting in severe consequences for their socio-economic development. To mitigate these risks, the study recommends that organizations strengthen their network security, implement comprehensive cybersecurity awareness training programs for employees, adopt advanced detection and response technologies, and employ mobile security solutions or business internet traffic security measures to ensure their safety.","PeriodicalId":15974,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Governance and Regulation","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135838155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, achieving sustainability, climate change mitigation, and technological advancements are punctuated by environmental and social casualties not often articulated in public discourse. This viewpoint seeks to caution that while attempting to deal with environmental and climate risks, we should not be oblivious to the resultant environmental and social implications of sustainable technologies and innovations. Contemporary tech-anchored lifestyles increase demand that supports the mining of rare earth elements (REE) which are used to manufacture sustainable technologies (Satchwell et al., 2022). The viewpoint is theoretically anchored in the rebound effect and Jevons paradox. A qualitative meta-summary was used to support and provide coherent contrarian considerations expressed in this viewpoint. Academics, policymakers, and practitioners must recognise the enormity of the carbon footprint caused by using REE. Sometimes, price tags are people relocations (Sovacool, 2019), and they subsequently forfeit their heritage, land rights, and possibly, cultural identity. This opens opportunities to research moral licensing in sustainability and climate change and transition. A holistic approach to sustainability is suggested. The approach insists that net positive benefits should first accrue to local communities and a share of REE profits invested in specific environmental and social projects in REE mining communities.","PeriodicalId":15974,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Governance and Regulation","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135949484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Macroeconomic indicators have differences from country to country due to the government policies they have (Aryani et al., 2023). The economic performance of countries depends on global influences and the development model of some governments on how they use their country’s natural resources (Chutipat et al., 2023). The aim is to measure the economic performance index (EPI) for each country in this region. The paper methodology will have secondary data for the years 2010–2020. The EPI finding is constructed using the following indicators: unemployment, inflation, budget deficit, and economic growth. To do this, graphs, descriptive statistics, and regression models were used. In conclusion, based on conventional wisdom, the results show that countries that have performed better have shown increases in average private sector monthly wages and vice versa. Contrary to expectations, a larger population appears to have a negative impact on performance, and country specifics do not appear to be statistically associated with better performance. Thus, the importance of this paper is to add to the emerging literature by arguing for the superiority of the EPI compared to more traditional indicators.","PeriodicalId":15974,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Governance and Regulation","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135955727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
