Finding the best talent, and keeping them motivated and productive, are essential elements in establishing and maintaining a competitive advantage. The capacity of an event enterprise to consistently stage successful events, and consistently provide attendees with positive and memorable experiences, is generally a reflection of the quality of their employees and volunteers. Over the longer term, concerted efforts to acquire and motivate the best talent available can lead to greater levels of organisational creativity and innovation, as well as long term survival in a dynamic, turbulent, and uncertain industry environment. Furthermore, a talented and productive workforce is generally one in which individual employees and volunteers can thrive and grow, promoting empowerment and well-being.

This article takes the macro-environmental sports industry as the research object. Firstly, based on the development and characteristics of the sports industry, the article uses the principle of data envelopment analysis to analyze its input and output efficiency and finds out its current problems. In addition, the SWOT analysis method is used to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the external and internal environment influencing the efficiency of the sports industry and propose corresponding development countermeasures. Through the comparison of efficiency evaluation methods, the data envelopment analysis method is proposed to evaluate SWOT efficiency. Secondly, on the basis of pointing out the guiding ideology and basic principles of the evaluation system, four input indicators and four output indicators are specifically selected to form the SWOT input-output indicator system. Thirdly, we introduce the PEST model, focusing on its extended BCC model and use it to make empirical analysis of the SWOT efficiency of regions and provinces. The analysis results show that the efficiency of regional SWOT is not optimal and that there are problems such as input redundancy and insufficient output. Through further analysis, it is concluded that the main reason for the inefficiency of regional SWOT is the unreasonable SWOT input structure and insufficient output value of high-tech industries. We use the analytical framework of this method to clarify the current macro-competitive environment of the sports industry, and use the constructed index system to determine whether the sports industry environment in a region is good or bad. In the selection of indicators, we must carefully analyze their connotations, so that the evaluation index system can accurately evaluate the region’s sports industry environment.

AbstractIn the electronics industry environment, rapid recognition of objects to be grasped from digital images is essential for visual guidance of intelligent robots. However, electronic components have a small size, are difficult to distinguish, and are in motion on a conveyor belt, making target detection more difficult. For this reason, the YOLOv4-tiny method is used to detect electronic components and is improved. Then, different network structures are built for the adaptive integration of middle- and high-level features to address the phenomenon in which the original algorithm integrates all feature information indiscriminately. The method is deployed on an electronic component dataset for validation. Experimental results show that the accuracy of the original algorithm is improved from 93.74 to 98.6%. Compared with other current mainstream algorithms, such as Faster RCNN, SSD, RefineDet, EfficientDet, and YOLOv4, the method can maintain high detection accuracy at the fastest speed. The method can provide a technical reference for the development of manufacturing robots in the electronics industry.

The ability of some pathogenic bacterial species to form biofilms on surfaces of equipment and utensils is of great concern to the food industry since they represent a continuous source of contamination in food processing environments. In this review, the factors involved in the formation of microbial biofilms are highlighted, along with a discussion on the preventive disinfection procedures recommended to avoid the attachment of microbial cells on surfaces of equipment and utensils in food processing areas. Relevant articles published in the last 10 years (2012-present) were selected in PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar. Methods for assessing the adhesion and biofilm formation ability of strains isolated from surfaces in the food industry environment are also presented.

Abstract This study aims to identify the motivations behind the low-carbon strategy of companies. For this purpose, a fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis is conducted to explore the linkage effects of internal and external factors such as business environment, industry environment and individual heterogeneity on the company's low-carbon strategy based on a multi-dimensional theoretical perspective. It is found that the low-carbon strategy of companies in a low, medium, and high-level business environment follow the order of " survival maintenance ", "firm foothold", "bigger and stronger", "adapt to the trend", and "value innovation". Further analysis shows that the proper order of the three types of indicators from high to low is: industry environment, individual heterogeneity, and business environment. “The industry is under pressure and has enough power” is a key reason for low-carbon strategies; the competition intensity within the industry is an important external incentive for low-carbon strategy; CEO power is an important internal driving force for low-carbon strategy. This paper shows that a high-level business environment can help to improve managers’ forward-looking decision-making and help companies escape the inherent thinking of the “red sea competition”.

China’s 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road Project (involving USD1 trillion) is one of the most ambitious projects in human history. Although this trans-continental project presents tremendous development opportunities for businesses and cities within and outside China, there is nascent progress in some cities, for example, Quanzhou. With limited development prospects, enterprises are considering partial or total relocation to central cities to overcome bottlenecks and exploit future opportunities. Past relocation literature offers limited and contrasting insight into enterprise relocation’s antecedents and outcomes, especially for China. This article has attempted to fill this gap by exploring the factors affecting relocation decisions in Quanzhou using a sample of 441 employee self-reports. The logit regression model indicated that employees and cadre groups consider four factors before headquarter relocation, including preferential policies and industry environment (e.g., subsidies and tax), management resources (e.g., standardized management), intelligence and software resources (e.g., brand awareness), and international communication and market space (e.g., market openness). The intelligence and software resources were the least prioritized relocation factors among all four factors. The article presents important policy implications based on current results.

 The article investigates the theoretical and methodological principles of providing diagnosis in the formation of the mechanism of economic security in the publishing industry. The tools of the diagnostic function in the formation of the mechanism of economic security in the publishing industry are studied. The stages of realization of the estimating function of diagnosing at formation of the mechanism of economic safety in the publishing branch are offered. The basic characteristic features of methodical maintenance of diagnosing at formation of the mechanism of economic safety in publishing are defined. The stages of realization of the recommendatory function of diagnosing at formation of the mechanism of economic safety in publishing are substantiated. Elements of diagnosing economic security of the publishing industry are determined. A model of diagnostics in the process of forming the mechanism of economic security of the publishing industry has been developed. The methodical support of diagnosing within the procedure of formation of the mechanism of economic security in the publishing branch is offered, which takes into account the synthesized elements focused on knowledge of financial, economic and social threats in the intra-industry environment for detection of pathological changes in the publishing branch. the impact of factors on sectoral economic security. The complex nature of diagnostics in the formation of the mechanism of economic security in the publishing industry allows us to trace the dynamics of controlled and uncontrolled factors, intra-industry processes and phenomena in the relationship, give them an objective and unbiased assessment, explore direct and inverse relationships between factors, processes, phenomena and elements that affect the economic security of the publishing industry. It is proved that diagnostics is a part or function of the process of forming the mechanism of economic security of the publishing industry, it is a methodical tool for establishing the nature and scale of the influence of controlled and uncontrolled factors on the intra-industry economic system. Diagnosis in the process of forming a mechanism of economic security in the publishing industry should provide a preliminary assessment of the development of relevant processes, phenomena and events, which is based on information about their actual state and affect economic security in the intra-industry environment.
