    The Analysis of JD Intelligent Logistics

    With the need for new development patterns, it is necessary to form a new concept of logistics called intelligent logistics. Now more and more enterprises develop intelligent logistics, but at present, the research on intelligent logistics is not deep enough. So this paper, takes JD intelligent logistics, the leading enterprise in the industry, as an example to focus on the developments, achievements, and problems of intelligent logistics in operation management. This paper reveals that JD intelligent logistics has developments in distribution and transport. It shows that it has a high cost, imperfect management, and a shortage of high talent. These aspects can largely affect the efficiency of the operation in JD. So the JD company should make solutions such as lowing the cost and trying their best to train workers. The outcome of this study can be helpful to other companies in this field.

    Labour Market Analysis from a Behavioral Economics Perspective: From the Perspective of Unemployment Insurance and Employment Discrimination

    This article analyzes labor market problems through the lens of behavioral economics. This article seeks to identitys methods in which behavioral economics can provide policy recommendations for addressing issues related to unemployment and employment. While traditional economics fails to explain how unemployment insurance discourages job search and leads to long-term unemployment, behavioral economics finds that cognitive biases like loss aversion and present bias prolong unemployment. It suggests that policies must be designed by considering these cognitive biases to increase the motivation of the unemployed to accept work. One policy that can supplement unemployment insurance is wage-loss insurance. Wage-loss insurance is a short or long-term monetary subsidy when the wages in the new job are lower than in the old job. This paper uses qualitative analysis and a literature review to gather insights into labor market problems and the role of behavioral economics in addressing them.

    An Analysis of Starbucks’ Marketing Strategy and Innovation in the Chinese Market

    As the number of Starbucks shops in China continues to increase, Starbucks’ focus on creating high-end products has neglected some of the basic needs of the consuming public. With negative press, the emergence of more and more peer competitors, and the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Starbucks should change its current status quo, improve its reputation, make corporate innovations, and change marketing strategies. This paper will analyze Starbucks’ current internal and external environments as well as its marketing strategy using a combination of theory and practice, using SWOT analysis theory and a comparison with competitors such as Luckin Coffee and %Arabica Coffee to elaborate, and give some feasible suggestions for corporate innovation. Through SWOT analysis, Starbucks should adopt a “coffee + ” strategy to bundle sales, increase the variety of coffee derivatives, expand partner brands, and take advantage of the Internet to create a Netflix brand to drive traffic.

    The Golden Parachute Mechanism of Listed Businesses' Bad Faith Takeover Defense

    As the wave of mergers and acquisitions spreads in China, incidents of hostile takeovers in the capital market are becoming more frequent. More Chinese companies are revising their articles of association and adding anti-hostile takeover clauses, including the Golden Parachute clause, to protect their interests. Most research on Golden Parachute has focused on the U.S. market, but China's capitalist market environment and corporate governance structure differ greatly from the U.S., and there are blank spaces in the value judgment of the Golden Parachute in American studies. When introducing it in China, legislative bodies and corporate rules should not copy blindly; rather, they should extract its essence while discarding the dross. This article summarizes current research literature on the Golden Parachute clause by Chinese and American academia, uses empirical research to analyze how the clause was applied in the Musk-Twitter acquisition case, and presents personal insights on how Chinese companies can write the Golden Parachute clause into their articles of association and localize it based on actual mergers and acquisitions scenarios. Efforts must be made at the institutional, legal, and ethical levels to address the challenges faced by the Golden Parachute clause in practice, thereby opening up greater possibilities for their application in China.

    Venture Capital Investment Success: A Study of the Factors that Matter

    Venture capital funding is essential for emerging businesses because it allows them to gain access to capital and other resources necessary for growth. VC firms play an important role in economic growth because they inspire innovative thinking and provide funding for startups to develop marketable products and cutting-edge technologies. Consequently, it is essential for venture capitalists to take into consideration relevant aspects before investing in order to increase the proportion of investments that are successful. Through literature analysis which has revealed that there are six key components to a successful venture capital firm: the team, the syndication, the valuation, the value-add, the interaction with investors, and the exits. Importantly, venture capitalists place more weight on the selection of transactions than on the selection of investments. Rather than considering a company's track record or product offerings, investors will place greater emphasis on the management team behind the venture. Many venture investors subscribe to the old adage that investing in a mediocre idea with excellent management is better than a fantastic business strategy with inexperienced management because a team with competent and experienced employees will play a significant part in the firm's growth. Even while it's crucial to choose your transactions carefully, value can also be created by the addition of new elements after an investment has been made.

    The Importance of ESG in Corporate Strategy and Investment Decisions with Patagonia as an Example

    Companies and investors are increasingly relying on environmental, social and governance factors to address long-term sustainability and ethical implications, and ESG is a non-financial criterion for assessing these factors, mainly applied to assess the current status of corporate social responsibility, environmental governance and other aspects. This paper uses the various methods of ESG assessment and provides a brief introduction before using Patagonia, an American outdoor clothing and equipment company, as a study of environmental and social responsibility, where several measures are taken to reduce corporate governance and ensure social justice. The final in-depth study found that it is particularly important for companies to prioritize ESG. Firstly, ESG increases the level of engagement with stakeholders, enhances the reputation of the company's brand and ultimately leads to improved financial performance, and with climate change and social inequality practices occurring regularly, it is now imperative that companies seize the opportunity to create a more sustainable society.

    Changes in Labor Market after Financial Crisis in United States

    The unemployment rate in the United States surged to approximately ten percent in October 2009, achieving a historic high since July 1983, as a result of the mortgage crisis in the early twentieth-first century. Through time series analysis, this research paper examines the degree to which the three categories of the unemployment rate: overall, adult, and youth; had been affected by the housing bubble. This research paper discovers that the youth unemployment rate had been affected the most by the Great Recession. This research paper also concludes that the housing crisis in 2008 had lagging effects on the unemployment rate because undulations in the labor market necessitate additional time to be perceived, unlike the direct impact of the crisis on stock market price. Suggestions proposed by this research paper to the government and financial institutions include the implementation of rigorous manipulation in the credit system and the supervision of uncontrolled increases in prices.

    Analysis and Application of Labor Standard in Countries along the"Belt and Road Initiative"

    As the initiator and host of the "Belt and Road Initiative" Economic Zone, China is in-creasingly aware of the importance of international labor standards in today's increasingly developed international trade. In order to promote economic and trade cooperation among countries along the "Belt and Road Initiative", this paper summarizes the current situation and dilemmas of the application of existing international labor standards including the soft-law barriers and institutional dilemmas of existing international labor standards. This paper also points out that some countries take advantage of the complexity and political nature of labor standards to impose trade sanctions and tariffs on developing countries and other blue trade barriers. In addition, the paper also identifies feasible ways to improve in-ternational labor standards and apply them to the "Belt and Road Initiative" Silk Economic Belt. China should develop international labor standards with the characteristics of the "Belt and Road Initiative" economy. China should establish a preventive mechanism for blue trade barriers, align the "Belt and Road Initiative" rights protection system with in-ternational standards. China should also refine the rules for the use of social provisions under the "Belt and Road Initiative" coordination mechanism, improve trade cooperation with countries along the "Belt and Road Initiative". Finally, China should improve nation-al labor standards, and seek better welfare for laborers along the "Belt and Road Initia-tive".

    Dilemmas and Responses to China’s Cross-border Digital Trade Rules under the Perspective of the Personal Information Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China

    The international community has not been able to reach agreement on digital trade rules due to the different choices of value positions and divergent economic interests. The chap-ter on "Rules on the cross-border provision of personal information" in the Personal In-formation Protection Law of the Republic of China provides the basic framework for re-stricting and regulating cross-border data flows in China. It reflects China's value orienta-tion of attaching importance to digital sovereignty and security. The country's determina-tion to further integrate into world trade and compete internationally for economic bene-fits and political status. However, the current rules in the Personal Information Protection Law still have unclear standards, excessive restrictions and conflicts with other laws and regulations. Due to the conservative values of China, there are many rules that are not compatible with the CPTPP rules. It is necessary to interpret Chapter 13 of the Personal Information Protection Law and the general rules, and complete the alignment of several laws and regulations based on the relationship between higher and lower laws and special and general laws. Meanwhile, it is also necessary to refine the specific standards for data flow in practice, so as to finally realize the alignment with the CPTPP.

    Research on the Chinese Enterprise Environmental Information Disclosure System

    Green development is the trend of current international economic development, and achieving green development is an inevitable requirement for a country to integrate into the international economic society. The enterprise environmental information disclosure system is an important means to urge enterprises to assume environmental responsibility and promote the green development of China's economy. In recent years, Chinese government has issued a series of regulations on environmental information disclosure to alleviate environmental problems, but these regulations have not achieved the expected regulatory effect. Research has found that the reasons for this problem include shortcomings in government environmental audits, limitations of environmental policies, and poor media oversight. Further research has found that China can currently improve the regulatory effect of corporate environmental information disclosure through some measures. Measures including improving the relevant laws and regulations of enterprise environ-mental audit, making up for the deficiencies of green credit policies, and establishing corporate environmental information sharing mechanism should be taken.
