The COVID-19 crisis and the 2008 financial crisis are two major global events that have significantly impacted the global economy and society. Although both contributed to the economic downturn to some extent, they were fundamentally not social events of the exact nature. The COVID-19 crisis was caused by a global pandemic that has resulted in business closures and travel restrictions. The 2008 financial crisis, which resulted in widespread financial panic and a credit shortage, was mostly caused by the collapse of the housing market and the accompanying financial catastrophe. This paper first explores what triggered the 2008 financial crisis. The Federal Reserve's loose policy made it extremely easy to borrow during that period, which fueled the subprime loan market and the housing market bubble; the lack of regulation in the market made many financial institutions take excessive risks. This paper then also analyzes government interventions, including the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act and the introduction of Basel III, to prevent further collapse of the economy. Despite extensive government intervention, the post-crisis recovery has been slow and uneven. The lessons that countries should learn from the crisis strengthen the resilience of the global financial system and prevent similar crises from recurring in the future.

With the rise of internet technology and the popularity of mobile devices, the video industry has become an increasingly important part of the global entertainment landscape. This paper discusses the pricing strategy of Tencent in the video streaming industry. The paper states that Tencent has used the Bertrand Model to set prices equal to marginal costs to attract customers and expand its market share. However, in the case of Tencent Video’s subscription price hike, the Cournot Model may be more applicable as the firm assumes that customers will continue to subscribe during the pandemic period. Despite the subscription price increase, the change in the price would be larger than the change in demand, leading to higher profits. The article also discusses the increase in demand for Tencent Video memberships and the factors contributing to it. From a game theory perspective, Tencent and its members can be modeled as playing a classic prisoner’s dilemma game. Finally, the article discusses the opportunity cost for consumers and the concerns regarding the fairness of the increase in membership fees. This paper also utilizes the SWOT analysis.

This paper explores the 2008 financial crisis. It looks at its causes, consequences, and the changes that were effected to prevent the global economy from a similar crisis in the future. The crisis began in the United States, spread quickly, and ended up affecting the global population’s jobs, homes, and savings. The paper identifies the Federal Reserve’s financial policies, subprime mortgages, and credit default swaps (CDS) as the main causes of the 2008 financial crisis – each of these factors played a significant part in leading to the crisis. The combination of these factors made the effects of the 2008 financial crisis even more severe, leading to a broader economic downturn. The consequences of the crisis included increased regulation of the financial industry, government intervention through bailouts, a decline in housing prices, higher unemployment rates, and the breakdown of significant several major banks and financial institutions. These consequences were severe and governments had to come up with solutions to prevent a similar happening in the future through measures like the Dodd-Frank Act and the Basel III framework.

Sports sponsorship has steadily risen to the top of the list of marketing strategies used by companies, particularly sports and fashion brands. The most recent significant sporting event to draw a record-breaking number of spectators and attention is the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The main sponsors of the event have also attracted public attention. A study on the sports sponsorship of the Qatar World Cup can, on the one hand, examine more important factors, evaluate its marketing effectiveness, and offer examples for sponsor brands. On the other hand, it can also offer rationalization suggestions for the event organizers and sponsors to improve their sponsorship effectiveness and brand value, further promoting the joint development of both parties as well as the development of the sports industry and sponsor brands. The research perspective and theories around sponsorship marketing are further enhanced by this study. This study has sequentially suggested three elements in sponsorship activities that may affect the value of sponsoring brands, including audience involvement, media publicity, and co-sponsorship, using primarily quantitative analysis. Consumer audience participation, the success of media publicity, and the perception of co-sponsorship are all significant elements that have an impact on the brand value of sponsors in the modern sports sponsorship environment. This paper takes sports event consumers as the investigation target, builds a research model based on theoretical research and literature studies, and proposes research hypotheses in order to clarify the mechanism of audience involvement, media publicity, and co-sponsorship on the brand value of sponsors. In order to carefully study and develop conclusions on the effects of sponsoring significant athletic events on sponsor brand value in several dimensions, data were collected widely through surveys and analyzed using SPSS. Media publicity had a significant positive impact on brand value, and co-sponsorship and audience involvement had an indirect impact on brand value. It was discovered that the better the sponsorship image, the greater the impact on audience involvement and co-sponsorship, and the greater the impact on brand value. Finally, the paper offers pertinent countermeasures for brands to perform sponsorship activities and create brand value, in order to encourage the development of sports event sponsorship, based on the research findings and the present state of sports sponsorship.

With the development of economy, Chinese companies have started to use M&A to expand their business, and more and more core acquisition funds are investing in LBOs. Meanwhile, the pace of China's economic opening to the outside world is gradually accelerating, and many companies are making cross-border M&A to enter the international market, and leveraged buyout, as a special form of M&A for multinational companies, has also attracted attention and spread widely. This paper first analyzes the basic principles, processes, and characteristics of leveraged buyouts. Based on the current situation in China and combined with specific cases, it points out the necessity and problems of applying leveraged buyouts in China. By analyzing and studying two domestic acquisition cases and two overseas acquisition cases, the paper draws some conclusions. Leveraged buyouts are to some extent applicable to M&A activities of Chinese companies. Despite the challenges they pose, leveraged buyouts will remain an important form of M&A for Chinese firms as long as China continues to improve its legal and financial environment and standardize its operational processes. Through an analysis of China's domestic economic situation and current policies on theories related to cross-border investment in overseas M&A, the advantages and risks of cross-border leveraged buyouts are explored and countermeasures for firms to learn from are proposed.

With the development of technology, the influence of social media on consumers cannot be underestimated. Especially during the epidemic, when most parts of the world were in a state of lockdown, online social platforms became almost the best hope for many luxury and fashion brands. This also provides a new opportunity for luxury goods marketing. How to use social media to increase consumers' willingness to buy has become a new hot topic that brands are increasingly concerned about. This paper uses the questionnaire to investigate whether female is influenced by RED to have willingness to buy Gucci bags, how often they are influenced, and what kinds of content influence and what kinds of content influence their willingness to purchase to 200 female customers in RED. While the economic situation, environment, and practicality are all issues that consumers consider, the majority of people will initially build their brand image and purchase because of the social media content. It suggests that RED will develop future potential customers for Gucci. In theory, this paper analyzes the types of content and atmosphere on social platforms that lead to consumer purchases, filling the research gap where most previous studies have analyzed the reasons why social media users share luxury goods on social platforms while ignoring luxury purchases under the influence of social media.

The 2008 financial crisis had significant impacts on the global economy, leading to the collapse of several large financial institutions, massive government bailouts, and a global recession that lasted for several years. This paper discusses the causes and consequences of the crisis, highlighting the importance of understanding the mechanisms that underlie financial crises and the role that banks and financial institutions play in them. The recent Nobel Prize in Economics, given to the research of systematic risk and the role of banks in financial crises, is also covered in this essay. The crisis was brought on by a number of causes, including loose monetary policy, a housing bubble, and the growing use of sophisticated financial derivatives. The collapse of the subprime mortgage market, the high level of unemployment, and the collapse of many large companies and banks were among the consequences of the crisis. The paper underscores the importance of continued research into the causes and mechanisms of financial crises.

In retrospect, the Covid-19 hit the global economic hard. As a core industry, real estate also experienced a terrible loss. This paper is aimed to reflect the practical situation affected by the epidemic, taking two typical enterprises as examples on behalf of the whole real estate industry to provide relevant ex-perience in case that if the similar emergency happens in the future. By recit-ing some essential statistics (asset-liability ratio and EBITDA etc.) during 2019 to 2022 and analyzing the fluctuations, it is obvious that this epidemic caused a big shock to these companies. The sales amount and investment de-clined considerably, leading to a fall in companies’ gross profit and equity. Apart from that, the cash flow also suffered some influences for the delayed inflow, adding risk to the debt structure. Other factors like the shortage of materials and blocked expansion as well as land acquisition also contributed to the dilemma. The business conditions in three four years were not very promising. The companies should adopt effective measures in terms of funds management, shareholding structure, financing structure and inventory supervision.
