SECURITY DIMENSION OF THE GLOBAL ISSUES
Authors:   Alfred Nobel University, Kliuchnyk Ruslan M.
Published: October 2024

The article deals with current global issues of our time in their security dimension. An attempt has been made to outline the various directions of influence of global problems on the security architecture in today’s conditions. It was proposed to divide the global problems of our time into natural-ecological and socio-economic ones. At the same time, in our opinion, pandemics occupy an intermediate position between natural and anthropogenic problems. It has been argued that the modern economy is less vulnerable to natural disasters than it has been before, but natural disasters take more lives due to the high population density in the modern world. Human impact on the environment has been extremely destructive. Air pollution on a catastrophic scale is observed in large cities of the developing countries. Deforestation and desertification are making more and more areas uninhabitable. Global warming and climate change are seen not only in the rise in temperature, but also in the appearance of weather anomalies, the melting of glaciers, and the rise in the level of the World Ocean. The appearance of «climate migrants» has been explained to be one of the consequences of climate change. The combination of natural and social dimensions of global issues has been illustrated with the examples of conflicts over water. Socio-economic problems are mostly determined by the imperfection of society. This article has dealt with the demographic problem in different dimensions: in the Western countries there is a demographic crisis, and in the developing countries there is a demographic explosion, which has been shown using the example of Nigeria, Egypt, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, etc. Poverty in these countries has an important impact on economic security. A large number of people do not have the basic necessities for life (food, safe water and sanitation, shelter, healthcare, etc.) and live in conditions of absolute poverty. In some countries, the literacy rate is still quite low. The globalisation of criminal activity also a danger. Some countries, such as Haiti, can fall under the control of criminal groups. Terrorism is a type of crime that deserves to be investigated separately for many reasons. All the listed problems are extremely urgent in the conditions of inefficient political management. Solving issues related to security and overcoming the consequences of global issues is possible only in the presence of an effectively functioning public administration system. But creating a good governance system is a difficult task under conditions of dictatorship or the absence of legitimate state power. The issue of supporting international security in all spheres is a topical problem in international politics. It has been underlined that joint efforts can help to overcome of the explored issues.

The main features of ensuring the competitiveness of territorial communities of the Black Sea Economic Region are considered in the article. The institutional framework for the development of territorial communities in the context of the reform of local self-government and territorial organization of power in Ukraine on the basis of decentralization is character- ized. The signs of competitiveness of united territorial communities at the vertical and hori- zontal levels are outlined. It is determined that the vertical competitiveness at the regional lev- el is determined by the ability to effectively use its own potential and resources, to be in the forefront of the socio-economic development of the region, while at the national level – to suc- cessfully compete with other communities in a particular type of activity. The horizontal di- mension of competitiveness implies the ability of a community to use its own socio-economic opportunities with minimal involvement of external resources by reducing energy costs, im- proving the quality of housing and communal services, creating new jobs, supporting small and medium-sized businesses, training and engaging third-party specialists, and efficient use of land and natural resources. The signs of competitiveness of communities in the Black Sea Economic Region by vertical and horizontal criteria are analyzed in the article. Examples of successful implementation by territorial communities of measures to increase their competi- tiveness by optimizing the use of available internal resources are provided. The main problems and obstacles to ensuring the competitiveness of the territorial communities of the studied re- gion in the context of a full-scale war are outlined. The main ones are: damage to the industri- al and social infrastructure of the region, due to the occupation and active hostilities, regular attacks on sea and river ports, mining of the Black Sea, export blockade, destruction of rec- reational potential, as well as the environmental disaster caused by the explosion of the Kak- hovka hydroelectric power plant, etc. The key measures aimed at increasing the competitive- ness of the territorial communities of the studied district are proposed, in particular: improving the human resources potential in the system of management of the development of territori- al communities; promoting the development of competitive positions of the real sector of the district’s economy; carrying out systematic work to create new jobs; aiming entrepreneurs to create industries with higher added value; introducing modern energy-saving technologies, ra- tional use of natural resources, etc.

The growth of geopolitical tension and conflicts in the modern world pose a serious threat to the international security system. It has been established that in recent years conflict at the international level has reached a critical level with the highest risk of nuclear confronta- tion based on the results of the conducted research. In this regard, issues of constructive reso- lution of international conflicts, establishment and maintenance of a stable structure of inter- national relations are gaining significant relevance. The purpose of the article is to determine the essence of conflicts with the study of their impact on the state of international security and to build an analytical basis for the formation of systemic decisions aimed at their settlement in the conditions of growing geopolitical tension. Analysis of conceptual approaches, theories and concepts of conflict research has been provided in the course of the research. Classifications and typologies of international conflicts are considered with an emphasis on the main structural elements of the conflict. The formation of an analytical system for supporting strategic decision-making has been proposed in order to solve issues related to the settlement of international conflicts and the ef- fective development of international relations. The proposed system combines four subsys- tems, namely: the subsystem of forming information databases, the subsystem of determining relationships, the subsystem of modelling and the subsystem of forming strategic decisions. The practical use of the proposed system will make it possible to form analytical infor- mation and determine the dominant factors of influence on the socio-economic state and the conflict situation. It is possible to determine the trends in the development of international con- flicts and to form strategies for their settlement and increase the efficiency of international re- lations, taking into account the long-term perspective on the basis of obtaining analytical in- formation.

Authors:   Alfred Nobel University, Sbitenkova Viktoriia М.
Published: October 2024

The paper offers a comprehensive review of the investment environment in the Netherlands, a nation noted for its advanced economy, robust international trade links, and a solid legal framework that supports business activity. The Netherlands features a stable political environment, transparent governance, and administrative efficiency, creating a reliable backdrop for investment. This climate is conducive to innovation and attracts foreign direct investment, especially due to an advantageous tax system. The workforce in the Netherlands is highly skilled and multilingual, which is a critical asset, though the high labor costs could be seen as a deterrent. However, these costs are often offset by the high productivity and the business-friendly policies of the government. The Dutch market is well-connected and integral to the European trade landscape, making it a strategic entry point into the European Union. Transport and logistics infrastructure, particularly the Port of Rotterdam—the largest port in Europe—plays a crucial role in facilitating trade not only across Europe but globally. This infrastructure is supported by a top-tier digital network and service sector, with the Netherlands boasting one of the highest broadband penetration rates in Europe. Despite its many advantages, the investment climate in the Netherlands does face challenges such as regulatory complexity and stringent environmental regulations. These challenges are balanced by the country’s commitment to sustainability and the green economy, which opens up new investment opportunities in renewable energy and sustainable technologies. Furthermore, the Netherlands is proactive in fostering a favorable business environment through various government initiatives. These include incentives for research and development, enhancements in sustainable business practices, and subsidies for green energy projects, all aimed at maintaining the country’s competitive edge. The Dutch government’s approach to international business is also characterized by a network of treaties designed to protect foreign investments and prevent double taxation, making the Netherlands an attractive destination for multinational corporations. The presence of a strong legal system ensures that property rights and contracts are well protected, which is a critical consideration for investors. In conclusion, the Netherlands presents a balanced spectrum of opportunities and challenges. While the high cost of operations and regulatory demands pose hurdles, the strategic advantages, robust infrastructure, and government incentives create a favorable environment for significant investment returns. This detailed analysis serves as an essential guide for potential investors, providing insights into both the macroeconomic stability and sector-specific prospects within the Dutch market.

Authors: Asghar Butt Affaf , Sadique Riffat , Shahzad Aamer
Published: October 2024

This study examines the impact of the shariah complaint status on corporate cash holdings, the speed of adjustment towards its target cash holdings, and the effect of firm-specific factors on corporate cash holdings. The data of non-financial firms listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange from 2015 to 2020 has been collected. The panel data methodology is used. The findings imply that shariah-compliant firms hold more cash than non-shariah-compliant firms. The adjustment speed toward its target cash holdings is faster in shariah compliant firms. The financial leverage and cash flows show a negatively significant effect on corporate cash holdings. The working capital, dividend, and profitability exert a significant positive change on cash holdings. Explaining the cash-holding determinants reveals that trade-off and pecking order theories play a central role. This study is beneficial for policymakers, managers, and investors.

Authors: Oyelakin Akinyemi Moruff , Gbenga Jimoh Rasheed
Published: October 2024

The use of machine learning techniques for botnet detection has been an active area of research in security field for some years now. Some of the past machine learning-based botnet detection studies used datasets that were generated synthetically. The release of a large and real-life botnet dataset, named CTU-13, allowed researchers to build machine learning-based models from real-world data. In fact, the real-life traces in the dataset makes it more promising for being used for botnet identification studies. The current study proposed the use of a single tree-based learning algorithm in the classification of botnet evidence from sub-sampled portion of three captures in CTU-13 dataset. Random sub-sampling was used to arrive at three different datasets that was used in the study. The first step in the methodology involved experimental analyses on three captures out of thethirteen in the whole dataset. The analyses revealed the basic characteristics of the datasets which further guided the study further. The missing values and categorical data types in the dataset were handled through mixed imputation and feature encoding, respectively. The big data nature of the dataset was handled through random sub-sampling technique with a view to building a botnet detection model that is less computationally intensive. The random sub-sampling technique was used without changing the data distributions in thedataset. The botnet detection models were built by using decision-tree algorithm from the three sub-sampled dataset captures. The performances of the models were evaluated by using accuracy, precision, recall, and f1-score, respectively. In all, the model built with scenario5 capture slightly performed better than the ones built using scenario 6 and scenario 7 captures, respectively.

Published: October 2024

Visual representation is better as compared to textual representation in every aspect, either for a code or for the design of a software product. Writing a code using different programming languages in textual form is quite difficult as compared to a visual representation of code. The current study proved this phenomenon by presenting different codes in three different representations. These representations include textual, algorithm,and flow graph. On the basis of observation and analysis of the current study, these three representations were examined. It was concluded that visual representation is the best way to present a code according to many parameters. These results are helpful in the recent switch towards low programming from high programming. Moreover, further research can be conducted on how large enterprise applications code can be created by using visual programming languages.
Barriers to the Use of Public Transportation among Older Adults in Lahore, Pakistan: A Psychological Perspective
Authors: Al-Rashid Muhammad Ahmad , Nadeem Muhammad
Published: October 2024

Transport is crucial for healthy aging; however, majority of the older adults are dependent on others globally, particularly in developing countries. Age-sensitive transport is essential for positive experiences, with psychosocial factors impacting the public transport use. Therefore, the current study focused on psychological factors as to why the older adults in underdeveloped nations, such as Pakistan, find it difficult to use public transportation. Data was collected from 384 people aged 60 or over in Lahore, Pakistan through a questionnaire survey using simple random sampling. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, and ANOVA were employed to assess the socioeconomic characteristics and mean differences in psychosocial factors across various demographics including age, gender, and socioeconomic status using SPSS software. Statistical results indicated that due to the lack of age-sensitive infrastructure, older adults possess poorly perceived norms, unfavorable beliefs and attitudes, and limited personal ability to use public transportation. T-test and ANOVA results further indicated that aged people had more negative attitude, while the lower-income and lesser-educated older adults perceived the norms positively and were more likely to use public transport services. Hence, the findings clearly explained the interplay of socio-physical barriers in public transport environment which significantly influences the older adults' psychological perspectives. The current study suggested that soft and hard transport interventions should be implemented together. This is because they are crucial to inducing positive public transport services for older adults.

Published: October 2024

Faisalabad is experiencing a surge in industrial development alongside its established agricultural base. This economic growth, however, presents a challenge of balancing progress with environmental protection. Industrial activity can often lead to environmental degradation, impacting the city's physical landscape and the health of its residents. To address this concern, the current research focused on the restoration of the Faisalabad Clock Tower, a historical structure from the British Era. The Clock Tower holds a significant importance due to its role in the city's early urban planning and its status as a prominent landmark. The research methodology employed a comprehensive literature review, examining local and international examples of heritage building projects. Air pollution levels were measured around the Clock Tower by using HORIBA APMA 360. According to the findings, NO2 was found above the limit which confirmed that the presence of pollutants is the major deterioration factor. Furthermore, a detailed physical survey of the Clock Tower was conducted to identify the deteriorated areas within the building. The research culminates in a proposal outlining the necessary restoration work for the Clock Tower, informed by a thorough analysis that caters to architectural and environmental concerns to ensure a sustainable and historically sensitive restoration of this iconic structure.

The current study aimed to address the critical issue of climate change and the role of urbanization in exacerbating global warming. Urban sprawl and reliance on automobiles have led to the occurrence of significant urban problems. Therefore, the current study focused on the concept of walkability and its potential to foster sustainable urban neighborhoods. Walkability can be referred to as an effective green transport option that reduces congestion, environmental impact, and energy consumption while promoting healthier lifestyles and social cohesion. Moreover, the study also emphasized the necessity of innovative and strategic design and planning of neighborhood streets to enhance walkability. The research methodology comprised a case study of Sakhi Sultan Road in Hyderabad using field observations and visual analysis to assess the current condition and potential for improvement. The visual analysis identifies various environmental features that influence walkability including aesthetics, functionality, and safety. The findings revealed a mixture of present and absent features across different spots on the street. Additionally, the study also identified multiple issues, such as inadequate maintenance, lack of accessibility features, and encroachments on pedestrian pathways. All these issues highlight a need to improve and enhance walkability. Literature review supports the relationship between walkability and sustainability, citing that walkable environments enhance the quality of life, promote environmental sustainability, and reduce urban issues, such as traffic congestion and pollution. The study concluded with recommendations to address the highlighted issues and enhance the environmental features in order to foster a more walkable and sustainable urban environment.

Published: October 2024

The current study aims at investigating the effect of social support on the academic resilience of undergraduate students. Students experience multiple academic challenges due to their transition to higher education. These challenges pave way for social support to significantly reduce stressful academic experiences to foster persistence among the learners. The support experiences by students focuses on informational support, esteem support, motivational support, and venting support. These support experiences facilitate students in resolving academic issues while preparing for their assignments, quizzes and exams. The current research used causal comparative research to study the above-mentioned constructs. The multistage stratified sampling technique was used to draw the sample (n=600) of undergraduate students from Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU). The findings of the study revealed that social support significantly influence academic resilience (p= .000) and its sub constructs perseverance (p= .000), reflective and adaptive-help seeking (p= .000), and negative affect and emotional response (p= .000). Furthermore, esteem support, motivational support, and venting support significantly influence academic resilience (p= .000) of students. It can be concluded that students experience high levels of social support in sorting their academic problems and receiving emotional assistance. It can be further suggested that interactive learning strategies should be adopted for thorough understanding of concepts and ensuring hands-on experiences for students to instill soft/digital skills.

Published: October 2024

Due to the growing population and the numerous ecological challenges that affect crop yields, the need to modernize the crop production process has become increasingly critical. Swiftly managing potential threats to crops can have a substantial impact on overall crop production. Pests represent a significant menace, capable of causing substantial losses if not effectively controlled in a timely manner. In this study, a deep learning-based method for pest identification is introduced. The approach leverages the YOLO (You Only Look Once) object recognition SSD (single shot detection )algorithm in combination with the pre-trained DARKNET architecture to categorize pests into nine distinct classes. The study utilizes a publicly available dataset sourced from Kaggle, which comprises a total of 7,046 images. The outcomes reveal overall 83% of overall accuracy rate, with a notably low training and validation loss of 0.02%. Moreover, our model exhibits a notable enhancement in localization results, delivering a precision of 0.83, a recall of 0.83, an mAP-0.5 of 0.833, and an mAP-0.5:0.95 of 0.783.
Notes on Critical Phenomena and Primordial Cosmology
Authors: Goldfain Ervin
Published: October 2024

Critical phenomena describe continuous phase transitions characterized by power-law divergences, universality of scaling exponents and ergodicity breaking. Scaling exponents depend on the _dimension of the underlying spacetime_ (\(d\)) and, in many cases, also on the _dimension of variables_ defining criticality \((D)\). Recent studies suggest that both dimensions (\(d\)and \(D\)) run the observation scale and, as a result, determine the rate of divergence near critical points. Building on these observations, the goal of this report is to close the gap between _critical behavior in continuous dimensions_ and the anomalous findings of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).
Rusko po volbách
Authors: Ondřej Soukup
Published: October 2024

For Russia last year was at least as unprecedented as 1991 when the Soviet Union broke up and when a new, independent Russia emerged during the attempt at staging a coup, led by the political star of the time, Boris Yeltsin. This year it was not a matter of merely changing the President but, above all, of preserving or transforming the general course along which Russia is moving. That is why practically Russia’s entire internal political life during the past two years has been marked by the search for a suitable presidential successor.In his essay, the author not only highlights the biography of Vladimir Putin, but concentrates mainly on the circumstances which prompted his election as the new Russian President. From the moment of his appointment as Prime Minister, Putin skilfully exploited all his earlier experiences to his own advantage. An inseparable part of his image and his crucial pre-election trump card was his harsh attitude towards Chechnya. Thanks to the support he received in the 1999 parliamentary elections, he won to his side the Union of right-wing forces and the bloc of governors, Jedinstvo. And as a result of Yeltsin’s early resignation (influenced by his so-called family) he succeeded in speeding up and shortening the presidential campaign and in becoming the interim President. However, in the course of the election campaign, virtually no one was given any concrete information about Putin’s programme as a future President, and as a result experts in Russian affairs throughout the world as well as Putin’s fellow citizens still wonder: What is to be expected from the present Russian President?Apart from Putin’s personality, the author naturally turns his attention also to the other, less successful candidates – Gennadij Zyuganov and Grigorij Yavlinski. The second part of the essay is devoted to the prognosis as to what can be expected of Putin as the new Russian President in the economic sphere as well us in his domestic and foreign policy.

Dalam pasal 33 ayat (2) Undang – Undang Dasar Negara Republik Indonesia Tahun 1945. Undang-undang ini menjelaskan bahwa usaha penyediaan tenaga listrik dikuasai oleh negara dan dipergunakan untuk sebesar-besarnya kemakmuran rakyat yang penyelenggaranya dilakukan oleh pemerintah dan pemerintah daerah. Listrik merupakan energi vital bagi keberlangsungan aktivitas manusia baik bagi individu, kelompok masyarakat maupun dunia industry. Pertumbuhan ekonomi yang terus tumbuh membawa konsekuensi meningkatnya kebutuhan energi listrik. Banyak pelanggaran-pelanggaran yang dilakukan oleh pemakai jasa listrik atau pelanggan listrik yang sering disebut dengan pencurian tenaga listrik atau pencurian listrik. Dalam hukum positif Indonesia pencurian listrik diatur dalam Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana dan Undang-Undang Nomor 30 tahun 2009 tentang ketenagalistrikan, bahkan pandangan Hukum Islam terhadap prilaku mencuri energi listrik adalah haram sama seperti jenis pencurian lainnya. Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) mengeluarkan fatwa nomor 17/2016 bahwa mencuri listrik itu haram. Kasus pencurian listrik yang marak terjadi karena faktor kurang pahamnya atas bahaya yang terjadi akibat pencurian listrik, hal yang dilakukan seringkali fatal ketika seseorang mencoba melakukan tindak pidana pencurian listrik. Mencuri listrik dapat merugikan diri sendiri dan orang lain, diantaranya kebakaran yang dapat menghilangkan harta dan nyawa, padamnya listrik, dihukum penjara, merugikan PLN, mengganggu suplai tegangan PLN, dan masih banyak lagi dampak buruk yang dapat disebabkan pencurian listrik.

Prediction of earthquakes is necessary to reduce damages, develop resistant infrastructure, and prevent the loss of life in human societies. This research aims to predict the magnitude of possible earthquakes in the Shahrood district of Khalkhal County using artificial neural networks (ANN). Method A multi-layer perceptron neural network was used to predict earthquake magnitude. Results The results showed that in the fault areas, especially the Kalur fault, earthquakes with a magnitude of 1-3 on the Richter scale are more likely to occur (70%). The likelihood of earthquakes with a magnitude of 4-6 on the Richter scale is moderate (26%) and the earthquakes with a magnitude of 7-10 on the Richter scale have a very low probability (4%). Conclusion In future studies, it is recommended to use machine learning models to better and more accurately predict earthquakes in the studied area.

Background and objective Many cities in the world have land subsidence problems because of environmental issues related to urban development. The arid and semi-arid climatic conditions prevailing in most of the interior regions of Iran and the need for the increasing industrial, agricultural, and drinking water exploitation from underground water resources, as well as urban development, have increased the occurrence of land subsidence in Iran, especially in the metropolis of Tehran. This study aims to assess land subsidence in Tehran, Iran, using the satellite radar interferometry (InSAR) technique. Method In this research, 31 images of Sentinel-1 were processed using the time series of persistent scatter interferometry (PSI) in 2022, and a map of the average annual rate of land subsidence in Tehran metropolis was prepared. Finally, after validating the results of interferometry with GPS station observations, the relationship between land subsidence and exploitation of underground water resources was examined as the most important factor in ground surface changes in the study area. Results The findings showed a decreasing trend in land subsidence from plain to urban areas. The highest land subsidence, with a rate of -43 mm per year occurred in the southern and southwestern parts of Tehran. Districts 10, 11, 12, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20, which comprise about 26% of Tehran’s population, were experiencing land subsidence. The drop in the water level of observation wells was considerable in the areas where the highest rate of land subsidence occurred. Another finding of the research was the decrease of the underground water level from the north to the south of Tehran, indicating that the water depth in the southern areas of Tehran decreased due to human activities such as water pumping. Conclusion There is an increasing pressure in the aquifer through pumping water from wells in the study area for various industrial, agricultural and drinking water uses which has led to the increase in the occurrence of land subsidence.

The work examines the state of research and practice in the field of software quality management and gives an assessment of the extent to which existing approaches meet the requirements of new software-intensive systems. The main categories on which software quality management is based, approaches to software quality management are considered. It is shown that in all the studied models, none included the aspect of communication as one of the quality factors. In the field of software quality, a large number of metrics have been proposed for measurement. But these indicators face problems that also arise from the lack of structure in qualitative models. One problem is that, despite the definition of metrics, quality models do not provide a detailed description of the impact of specific indicators on software quality. Nowadays, there is a need for quality components for communications at all levels and especially in complex systems where this becomes a critical factor over the Internet.

Magnolia obovata, known as “Japanese cucumber”, is a deciduous tree of Asian origin, constituting a medicinal plant due to its anti-inflammatory, anxiolytic, antidepressant effects, among other central effects, already demonstrated in the literature. The objective of this study was to suggest the mechanisms of action for the effects on the central nervous system of the compounds identified in the species M. obovata, especially regarding the anxiolytic effect currently sought with the use of the plant. Nineteen compounds present in M. obovata were identified, with only 2 molecules (alpha-eudesmol and gamma-eudesmol) showing in silico pharmacokinetic and toxicological properties favorable to anxiolytic bioactivity. Such molecules inhibit acylcarnitine hydrolase and increase free acylcarnitine, possibly generating an anxiolytic effect. Pharmacophoric modeling of those molecules showed 6 interaction points with the 5 most potent known ligands of acylcarnitine hydrolase and such structural similarity is promising for acting on this target. There are advantages of the alternative mechanism of action of this compound in relation to current anxiolytics, which could be used to formulate new therapies in the treatment of anxiety disorders. The results obtained here open perspectives for tests in in vitro and in vivo models, aiming to confirm the results of the computational analyses.

ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning System) is a corporate solution designed to automate key processes such as accounting, inventory management, customer relations, production, and human resources. ERP systems are modular, allowing businesses to adapt them to their specific needs. In recent years, ERP has become essential across industries for centralizing data and improving operational efficiency. ERP is particularly vital for Ukrainian ecommerce businesses, which face competition from global giants like Alibaba, Amazon, and eBay. As Ukraine integrates further into the European Union market, competition will intensify. Therefore, ERP systems provide a strategic advantage by automating business processes and helping companies remain competitive. Before implementing ERP, businesses must address key questions: Why is ERP necessary? What goals will it achieve? Will the system be hosted on-server or via a SaaS (Software as a Service) model? What budget is available? Can the system scale with business growth? Answering these questions helps ensure that businesses choose the right ERP and integrate it smoothly. Different ERP systems excel in various areas. Some focus on automating sales funnels, while others, like KeyCRM, specialize in integrating communication tools. Esputnik emphasizes marketing automation, and Dilovod focuses on inventory management. ERP’s modularity allows companies to tailor it to their specific needs, ensuring faster and more cost-efficient implementation. However, purchasing an ERP license is just part of the overall cost. The real value lies in integrating ERP into existing workflows. ERP to deliver its full benefits, business processes must align with the system’s capabilities, or workflows should adapt to the ERP's logic. Setting clear goals, such as reducing errors or optimizing staffing, is key to maximizing ERP’s impact. In conclusion, ERP implementation is not merely a technical decision but a strategic process that requires careful planning and ongoing adaptation to market demands. This ensures long-term success and helps businesses remain competitive.
