Abstract As an emerging economic mode, the sharing economy has the advantages of improving supply capability and capital utilization. This paper studies a performance-based contract between a service platform and an outsourcing partner, a vehicle manufacturer in the context of the sharing economy with application of Internet of Things. The service platform acquires high-quality products by giving incentives to the manufacturer. To generate more profit with better service, the manufacturer not only improves the product’s performance through quality design in manufacturing but also provides exclusive maintenance in the aftermarket period with the application of Internet of Things. A performance-based contract model between the service platform and the manufacturer is designed to give decision-making suggestions for managers. Managerial implications are extracted by analyzing the operational decisions of the players. Compared with the traditional wholesale price contract, the service platform in the sharing economy can benefit more from a performance-based contract assisted with Internet of Things. The product manufacturer’s preference for a performance-based contract over a traditional wholesale price contract depends on the detailed market circumstances. Managerial guidelines are given on designing performance-based contracts for members of the supply chain.

Abstract This article discusses the impact of corporate managers' green environmental awareness and strategic intelligence on the formulation of corporate green product innovation strategies and their relationship with marketing performance. As the pre-factors affecting innovation, the green environmental awareness and strategic intelligence will affect the formulation and implementation of corporate green product innovation strategies, thereby promoting corporate performance. According to the regression analysis of 367 questionnaires from heavily polluting enterprises, it can be seen that managers’ green environmental awareness is positively correlated with green product technological innovation and design innovation strategies. Managers’ meta-cognitive strategic intelligence does not have a moderating effect on the relationship between green environmental awareness and green product technological innovation strategy, but has a significant positive moderating effect on the green product design innovation strategy. Managers’ motivational strategic intelligence has a positive influence on the relationship between green environmental awareness and green product technology and design innovation strategy. In addition, the implementation of green product innovation strategies directly promotes the improvement of marketing performance. The above conclusions can provide inspiration or companies during the new opportunity period to transform managers' environmental awareness and strategic intelligence into corporate performance by using green product innovation strategies.

Abstract Video surveillance devices are a valuable tool in various contexts to automate different danger conditions and enable security guards to make effective decisions to improve asset safety. This article suggests detecting and preventing criminal activities in shopping malls (DPCA-SM) framework that detects suspected activity in shopping malls in real-time. The video monitoring approach makes some suggestions that create a comprehensive application capable of effectively tracking people's pathways and detecting measures in a shop setting. The proposed system utilizes the publicly accessible CAVIAR data collection to validate the proposed approach for monitoring occlusions with a performance of nearly 92% to assess the accuracy of the principal inputs of the proposed initiative. The alerts provided by the proposed framework are also evaluated on naturalism, private datasets, demonstrating that in a shopping mall setting, the professional surveillance cameras strategy can efficiently detect unusual activity.

Economic stimulus seems to be government intervention that stimulates private-sector economic development by targeted, expansionary monetary or fiscal policy canter on economics education. The economic stimulus has been derived from a biological analogy of inspiration and returns, aiming at using government action as a stimulus to stimulate a response from the private sector economy. Economists keep debating the efficacy of coordinated fiscal incentives, with some arguing whether it can cause more long-term damage than short-term benefits. Thereby, this paper presents a comprehensive study on personal financial planning and financial literacy (PFP-FL) to stimulate economic advancement. This study first identifies the impact of personal financial planning on monetary stimulus. Secondly, the effect of financial literacy to produce economic improvement has been detected. Finally, how the integrated policymaking performs for the same has been identified. The participants are selected from various domains of economic sectors. The case study analysis finds the significance of personal financial planning and financial literacy to stimulate economic advancement statistically. Thus, the experimental results of PFP-FL give the performance ratio of 94.5%, accuracy ratio of 92.4%, decision-making level of 92.5%, client satisfaction ratio of 91.8%, the poverty rate of 32.5%, a precision ratio of 92.5%, and financial volatility rate of 96.3%.

Abstract Smart city is the product of social development and information technology progress. Smart city evaluation research can provide basis for relevant departments to analyze the development of smart cities around the world. Through neural network learning and training, the paper constructs an intelligent neural network model for evaluating the development level of smart city based on GRA-BPNN model. Based on various factors, this paper selects 15 domestic cities as samples for empirical analysis. By comparing the evaluation results of different methods, this paper further demonstrates and confirms the effectiveness and rationality of the evaluation model based on grey correlation theory and BP neural network to evaluate the development potential of smart city.

Financial risk is unintended to lose money on an enterprise or investment. Credit risk, Liquidity risk, and operational risk are some more prevalent and unique financial concerns. This is a form of risk that can lead to a capital loss for stakeholders. Building a company from the bottom up is expensive. Any firm may need to go for cash outside to develop at some time in their lives. Financial hazards occur and influence almost every person in various forms and sizes. Digital Financial Services are financial services that rely on customer distribution and the use of digital technologies. While digital financial inclusion (DFI) is important in stimulating economic growth, there is only relatively little empirical data. But whether digital finance is the solution both the bad and the good results of financial inclusion raise. This essay will investigate the importance of digital financial inclusion, utilizing information and communications technology (DFI-ICT) techniques to promote sustainable growth via economic stability. Fast digital technology is currently being used to deliver financial services considerably reduced cost, thereby enhancing financial inclusion and allowing large-scale economic productivity improvements. Although there has been a broad-ranging mention of the benefits of digital finance—financial services offered through mobile telephones, the internet, or cards—we try to measure the size of the economic effect. The experimental result shows that the classification risk level ratio is achieved to 18.9%, and the error rate of classification of the model is checked.

Abstract From the perspective of complex network, this paper re-examines the impact of China's capital market opening on its stock market stability. In view of the complex network characteristics of the stock market, this paper proposes a new connected network model named Double Minimum Spanning Tree (D-MST), to model the three markets in Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hong Kong connect network, and then analyze the association networks’ topological structure and stability before and after the implementation of the market opening policy, so as to analyze the impact of the stock market stability caused by the capital market opening. From the perspective of complex network aggregation, mainland markets’ are higher than Hong Kong, and Shanghai is higher than Shenzhen, and this means the co-movement of Shanghai Stock Exchange Market is higher than the other two markets’. Through complex network stability experiment, this thesis find that market network has robustness to the random strategy and are vulnerability to the deliberate strategy. On the whole, the results show that the opening of the capital market has a positive impact on the stability of the stock market, but there are heterogeneity in the different extent of market promotion, among which the stability of the Shanghai Stock Exchange has the greatest improvement. However, the empirical results also indicate that under extreme market conditions, the opening of capital market will lead to greater systemic destructiveness.

Abstract The intensification of diverse interest conflicts and contradictions in smart city PPP projects requires interest coordination and integration, and the effective construction of interest coordination needs to take the balance of interest games as the premise. The strategy selection of Tripartite evolutionary game is dynamic, and the strategies among the tripartite always interact and influence each other. The adjustment of one party’s strategy is subject to the influence of the initial strategies of the other two parties, and the adjustment result of strategy will have a chain reaction, which will have positive or negative effects on other game players. In order to realize the effective coordination of diverse interests, it is necessary to standardize and constrain the multi-subject strategy, realize incentive compatibility, and guide the multi-subject strategy to be beneficial to project construction.
