Abstract: Technological developments have helped everyone carry out their daily activities. One of the technological developments that has been widely used during the Covid-19 pandemic and even today is online food delivery services. Food delivery is thriving amid the Covid-19 pandemic due to restrictions on outdoor activities by the government, and food delivery makes it easy for consumers who like practicality in meeting their food needs. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of promotion, service quality, brand image, and lifestyle on the decision to use GoFood services. The data used in this study came from a questionnaire instrument which was distributed to respondents. The sampling method in this study used an accidental sampling technique, then a classic assumption test was carried out to determine the feasibility of the statements used in the questionnaire, and the data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results of the study show that partially promotion, service quality, and lifestyle influence the decision to use GoFood services, while brand image does not affect the decision to use GoFood services. GoFood's brand image has no influence on the decision to use online food delivery services because Gofood is well known by people in Indonesia for its excellent and trustworthy service. Simultaneously, promotion, service quality, brand image, and lifestyle affect the decision to use GoFood services.

Abstract: E-commerce introduces a market full of opportunities by engaging more individuals in trade, creating space for new traded products by businesses (such as electronic transitions, electronic services, and 3D printing algorithms.), and allowing global communications and connections for trade through interactive platforms. It is inevitable to ignore COVID-19 in this sense, as the pandemic only emphasized the presence of e-commerce and boosted it to the extreme, forcing the world to shift to e-commerce consumption of goods and e-services to avoid further pandemic spread. As e-commerce becomes a dominant source of economic growth, employment, social empowerment, and political involvement, worldwide, one would expect that it would be governed under a multilateral agreement that establishes e-commerce as a form of trade, from an inclusive perspective. However, the lack of a comprehensive governing law in the multilateral level leaves Regional Trade Agreements the responsibility to regulate e-commerce and to ensure equal global reach to e-commerce opportunities. By examining dominant RTAs in force in a five-year period (2015-2020) that include a specific e-commerce chapter, and using the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, this piece examines the best practices for allowing e-commerce to be globally and equally available for all, recognizing 4 sets of provisions that is found today in Regional Trade Agreements: Capacity building provisions; Facilitation provisions; Protection provisions; and E-cooperation provisions. Including such sets of provisions in Regional Trade Agreements, in the manners offered by this piece, will have a great probability of promoting global quality of education; gender equality; decent work and economic growth; the enhancement of industry; innovation and infrastructure; and justice and strong institutions; as called for by the UN SDGs.

Abstract: The paper is about identifying and developing sustainable ecological chains of supply of local companies in the context of contemporary global business challenges. The process of global market restructuring of supplier’s networks in plenty of sectors, such as automotive parts, foods, GNL, microchips, furniture etc. is a relevant precondition for establishing business relations and increasing of market share of Bulgarian exporters. The fact, that the European Union is the biggest and most important foreign trade partner of Bulgaria is an existing precondition for this. The purpose of this paper is to identify possible approaches and measures for effective internationalization of Bulgarian small and medium sized enterprises (SME’s) and their products in the context of current turbulent changes and global supply chains. This would bring about a creation of sustainable business models, aimed at fostering export of local companies. The applied research methods are literature review of the contemporary sources referring international economy, observation of national and international economy processes, induction, leading to broader generalizations, case studies of good practices of companies in a number of local business sectors, competitive on the international market, graphical and statistical methods. As a result of the research are investigated specific corporate policies and approaches to the contemporary challenges of global supply chain restructuring and the appearance of new possibilities and market niches. A distinct focus is made on the Single European market as a main destination of local companies’ exports.

Abstract: Within the background of anti-globalisation, the ramifications of external disturbances on economic stability have garnered heightened scrutiny, emerging as a pivotal concern. Among these disturbances, trade shocks stand out as the most immediate and palpable representation of external perturbations, playing a crucial role in inducing output volatility in economies with a strong external orientation. This research employs a dynamic Leontief model, grounded in industrial linkage theory, and integrates empirical data from 42 predominant industrial sectors within China. The objective is to elucidate the transmission dynamics of import and export trade shocks on economic oscillations via industrial interconnections, utilizing numerical simulation techniques. The findings indicate that export trade shocks introduce volatility into the economy through both a direct pull effect and an indirect combination of pull and push effects, which are further magnified by inter-sectoral linkages. Conversely, import trade shocks can potentially counteract economic expansion by fostering the growth of import-substitution industries.
