Impact of Digitalisation on Taxes & Base Erosion & Profit Shifting (BEPS) Special Index to India

2022-03-28T09:13:45+00:00

The digital growth of global businesses is forcing tax authorities to rethink how they control tax compliance by taxpayers and collect the appropriate taxes to follow. Many tax laws were enacted in the 20th century and may no longer apply in the 21st century digital world. This paper discusses the need for improved tax management and tax collection in dealing with digital business processes, the threat of erosion of Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) and the need for faster digital tax administration. The paper also focuses on the role played by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the progress in tax administration achieved by various countries especially in India. It is noteworthy that about 115 countries are forcibly advancing digital spending as a result of OECD's request for greater cooperation. India, although not a member of the OECD, has implemented a number of measures, particularly the two regional tax treaties and is actively pursuing digital integration to improve tax collection.

2022-03-28T09:18:46+00:00

The first man-made sparkling or carbonated water is credited to Joseph Priestley, the British scientist who discovered oxygen. In 1772 he invented a method of "pushing" carbon dioxide into water by dissolving it under pressure, thus creating fairly long-lasting bubbles. The technique led to development of the soft-drink industry. By the beginning of the 19th century, carbonated water was being made commercially in France and North America; shortly thereafter, flavours (normally fruit concentrates) were added to enliven the taste. Most soft drinks are still carbonated to give drinks a "tangy bite" and to stimulate the tongue. Furthermore, because scent is an important part of taste, the flavours carried as vapours in the bubbles enhance taste. Marketing is about winning this new environment. It is about understanding what consumers want and supplying it more conveniently. Marketing deals with identifying and meeting human needs and social needs. One of the shortest definitions of marketing is “meeting needs profitably”. The consumer market may be identified as the market for product and services that are purchased by individuals as household for their personal consumption. soft drinks is a typical consumer product purchased by individual primarily quench their thirst and also for refreshment. Different types of soft drinks are available in the market and more or less content of all soft drinks is same. The market of soft drinks is facing a cutthroat competition and many companies are floating in the market with their product with different brands names. This Paper explains Comparative Analysis of factors influencing the retail sales of Pepsi. Co &Coca Cola.

Entrepreneurship in circumstances of global crisis or recession

2022-05-09T12:02:15+00:00

In literature, global crisis is referred to a risky unpredictable and unexpected event requiring proactive response (Doern et al, 2018). While Williams et al (2017) mentioned that global crisis is an unexpected process that weakens the normal operation or functioning of communities, organizations, societies and individuals. In this way, the focus of this paper is on impact of global crisis on entrepreneurship. Doern et al (2018) described that crisis either it was a global financial crisis that happened between 2007-2009, natural disasters like Hurricanes, earthquake, viruses and terrorism act destructively affected many sectors and specially entrepreneurship is substantively affected. Colombo et al (2016) also indicated that the global crisis changes the business context in terms of requiring entrepreneurs to proactively react to the crisis by modifying their business rules, regulations and strategies. Whereas, history is full of global crisis events affecting small and medium size enterprises and Young entrepreneurial ventures. Mostly it was economy global crisis that affected the entrepreneurial activities and it was in the end of 2007 and 2009 (2^nd quarter) in which the global economic crisis occur that destructively impact the large, medium as well as small enterprises (Sozinova et al, 2017). For instance, 30% bankruptcy cases of Finnish SMEs with higher number of cancellation of orders, layoffs and uncontrollable financial difficulties were faced by entrepreneurs (Soininen et al, 2012). Studies with the help of neo-classical model confirm that entrepreneurship and entrepreneurs are the main driver of economic growth of any country due to their contribution towards providing employment opportunities to youth, emergence of new creative products/services, stimulation of competitiveness and it is affected the most in case of global crisis (Stoica et al, 2020). In this way, global crisis where high unemployment rate and economic recession is common the attention of people towards entrepreneurship becomes crucial.

Implementation of Black Box Attack Using Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) By Robustness Algorithm

2022-05-25T06:28:02+00:00

This paper introduces the concept of Implementation of Black Box Attack On explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) is real. Artificial intelligence (AI) has spread everywhere from various applications to wide coverage in media and it plays a significant role in our society. AI has been seen as a powerful and useful tool in many ways, but it has also induced fear as a dangerous weapon to destroy human thinking, steal people’s jobs and create mass un employment. When applications are good enough to replace human work, as a consequence, changes in the job market will take place. Without a doubt, AI and the models associated with it are widely used and their usage is still getting more and more common in science and industry. While these models are becoming more complex and they give predictions with convincing accuracy, transparency is easily lost in the complexity of model, and as a consequence, too often the models are only black boxes to their users.

In the Big Data, with the increasing number of audit data features, human-centred smart intrusion detection system (IDS) performance is decreasing in training time and classification accuracy, and many SVM-based intrusion detection algorithms have been widely used to identify an intrusion quickly and accurately. This project proposes the SVM-GA (feature selection, weight, and parameter optimization of support vector machine based on the genetic algorithm) algorithm based on the characteristics of the genetic algorithm (GA) and the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm.

“Job Seekers or Job Providers? An Exploratory Study on iGeneration

2022-06-09T10:41:50+00:00

Purpose: Does the tendency of generation vary towards job? Each generation has its own strengths and challenges. The septa living generations areThe Greatest Generation (1901-1927), The Silent Generation (1928-1945), The Baby Boomers (1946-1964), Gen X (1965-1980), Gen Y or Millennial (1981-1995), Gen Z or igeneration (10996-2010), and Generation Alpha. The present study aims to find the tendency of igeneration to be job seekers or job providers, as igeneration has started to enter the professional world. Igeneration is characterized by one who values freedom, flexibility, innovation and creativity, ability to take risks to mention few.

Research Design: The study is based on first hand data. The data is collected using google form. Total numbers of participants for the study were 250 but the final test was conducted on 180 responses, after rejections. The study was conducted in the city Dewas. The reliability of the questionnaire was tested using Cronbach’s alpha. The value of the reliability test lies between 0.8 and 0.9, which indicates the questionnaire used for study is good. Data was analysed using regression and t test.

Finding: The research finding shows that p value (0.0496) is less than .05, so authors have rejected the null hypothesis and accepted the alternative hypothesis that igeneration is more inclined towards job providers instead of job seekers. The t test reveals that there exists a significant difference between the variables. The mean value of job providers is much higher than job seekers. The both tests clearly support that igeneration is more inclined towards entrepreneurship.

Analysis and Evaluation Process of Supply Chain Management in Business Processes

2022-11-08T06:06:18+00:00

Supply chain management works to improve a company's ability to compete by implementing various systemic changes. A primary goal of SCM is to boost a product's or service's ability to compete in the market. The goal of this research is to explore and make sense of the dynamic supply chain management landscape. Based on a thorough examination of the current literature, we made some educated guesses about how Supply Chain will evolve in the future. Definitions of SCM from experts spanning antiquity to the present have been compiled and organized next to the most important classical definitions. The answer to this question depends on a wide variety of variables along the Supply Chain. By analyzing SCM and its constituent parts, this research hopes to set it apart from closely related fields like Logistics Management, Value Chain Management, and Operations Management. Several different SCM ideas are discussed at length. The investigation concludes with a declaration of what needs to be done after a thorough review of the relevant literature.
