Name : Financial Structural Model For Business Information Management – A New Accounting Strategic Framework
Author : Ahmad Mohammed Alamri,Abdulrhman Alkhanifer
Abstract :
In the recent past, business information impacted accounting data through the development of science and technology solutions. Therefore, new requirements for accountants arise in the latest accounting environment. Current accounting training could not meet company requirements at all. To ensure reliable accounting, improve economic and financial management, improve economic efficiency, and preserve the socialist market economy effectively, there is a need for innovation in accounts management. This paper presents an approach to improve financial reporting transparency and increase usefulness using an Advanced Financial Structural Model(AFSM). Fair value accounting and asset-impairment accounting have been inherently deficient in the present account management system. According to legal and accounting theory, the source record of accounting data should have the legal proof. The conventional accounting system of 'mixed attributes' should be replaced with a network that maintains historical cost and fair value strictly in financial statements. The simulation analysis has been performed based on business strategies. Finally, the new model achieves 97.78% of efficiency for improving economic management and financial management.

Author : Nataliia Kravchuk,Iryna Mykolaichuk,Yuiia Zaika,Tetiana Melnyk,Nadiia Bocharova
Abstract :
The extensive advancement of digital technology within the framework of the fourth industrial revolution presents potential consumers and stakeholders with a plethora of tools. However, determining the optimal digital path for transforming business strategies and models becomes challenging. The objective of this study is to pinpoint the most advantageous areas for investing in the digital transformation of business activities. The use of cross-iteration ranking technology allowed us to identify a wide range of relevant independent expert resources (25 organisations), based on their personal ratings, a set of available digital solutions for transforming business models and strategies (36 digital tools) was formed. Among them, the optimal areas for investment financial flows (5 digital technologies) were selected, which have the highest potential for modernising business processes. The obtained potential investment areas are medium and independent. It was found that the key area of investment in the digital transformation of business models and business strategies is automation and cybersecurity. Further research is aimed at expanding the sample of expert organisations (to increase the level of reliability) and modelling the likely development of certain types of business structures affected by digital transformation (to develop tools for preliminary determination of appropriate areas of digital development). Limitations of the study include the methodological framework, as well as the timeframe and scope of the dataset, which may affect the overall context and universality of the results.

Name : Viral Marketing Sustainability for Online Customers: A Theoretical Analysis and Future Direction
Author : Monu Dihingia,Dr. R. S. Rai,Dr. Jonardan Koner
Abstract :
Viral marketing (VM) is currently known as the viral marketing "holy grail.” Social networking is vying for a position in every aspect of our lives. New technology is transforming the landscape in which businesses operate. Digital technologies also greatly reduced information asymmetries between buyers and sellers. The examination of interactions between digital technology and environmental elements starts with a look at how consumer behaviour is changing as a result of proximity to a variety of online and mobile applications and devices. The science of online marketing has grown at an unprecedented rate since the dawn of the Internet age. A review of the literature base aids in categorising the topics studied and the fields that need to be researched further. This paper presents prior studies in the field of viral marketing and online customer behaviour. Between 1995 and 2019, 160 papers were reviewed; distributed in top marketing journals; and an analysis of important papers is presented. Viral marketing is a commercial strategy that sells a commodity across well-established social networks. Despite widespread scholarly and technical interest in viral marketing, the mechanisms that underpin successful viral marketing strategies remain poorly understood. The research on Viral Marketing and simulated environments is explored first, supplemented by a methodological context and, finally, managerial and theory- building ramifications. This paper is significant because it lays out the technique to be used in the future for online customer interaction using the Online Marketing platform, with a Model proposed.
