This research delves into the temporal dynamics of a nation's pursuit of a targeted GDP per capita level, employing five different survival machine learning models, remarkably Deep Learning algorithm (DeepSurv) and Survival Random Forest. This nuanced perspective moves beyond static evaluations, providing a comprehensive understanding of the developmental processes shaping economic trajectories over time. The economic implications underscore the intricate balance required between calculated risk-taking and strategic vulnerability mitigation. These findings guide policymakers in formulating resilient economic strategies for sustained development and growth amid the complexities inherent in contemporary economic landscapes.

The COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on economies everywhere, affecting everything from supply chain networks to international trade as a direct result of the increased vulnerability of more nations and the disruption of the activities of key traders. This research study examines how COVID-19 affected the supply chain on a worldwide and regional scale, as well as the systemic policy and economic steps governments and businesses took to rebound and maintain resilience. COVID-19 has had a significant influence, prompting governments and businesses to take steps to fortify their operations and businesses against disruptions, highlight the necessity for resilience in supply chains and emphasize the importance of managing risk. The supply value chain is at risk from the prolonged implementation of COVID-19 trade measures like border closure, export restrictions, and import sanctions. Many businesses are transitioning from a "recovery mode" to a resilient and sustainable mode" and are beginning to plan for the future. The study suggests that corporate and government leaders should prioritize proactive and adaptable policy, economic, and structural adjustment. This research will be useful to policymakers and industry leaders in their efforts to lessen the effect of COVID-19 on the global supply chain by enforcing governmental, economic, and business reforms built on resilient supply chains and mitigating economic risks during tough times.

This study examined whether enterprise digital transformation impacts the relationship between managerial overconfidence and cash holdings. As its quantitative analysis approaches, it employed the fixed effect method and the generalized method of moments. Firstly, a positive relationship can be found between managerial overconfidence and cash holdings. This study uses behavioural finance to explain why overconfident managers always hold more cash. Secondly, this study aims to contribute further to the field of investigation, providing additional insight into this matter. This study highlights the significance of digital transformation in mitigating the cognitive bias of overconfident managers and ensuring the organization’s successful development in a highly competitive market. This study finds that enterprise digital transformation effectively mitigates overconfident managers holding excess cash during operations. This research not only enhances the understanding of enterprise digital transformation in relation to economic repercussions but also contributes to the affection of digital economic transformation on the corporate governance of Chinese listed companies.

Risk management strategies protect the company as a whole as well as employees from unexpected financial impacts. As is the case in personal finance, preparing for certain scenarios helps confront any difficulties the company may face and allows it to get out of this predicament. For any project to be successful, it must be determined how the agency implementing the project will deal with potential risks so that it can identify, mitigate or avoid problems when it needs to do so. Successful project managers realize the importance of risk management, because achieving project objectives depends on planning, preparation, results and evaluation that contribute to achieving strategic objectives, especially sustainable development of communities. To ensure the success of your project, determine how you will handle potential risks so that you can identify, mitigate, or avoid problems when you need to do so.

This paper aims to investigate the impact of political promotion on the productivity of manufacturing firms using the database of Chinese industrial enterprises from 1998 to 2007. We found that the political promotion of officials had a negative impact on manufacturing firm productivity, and this impact varied according to the characteristics of officials and enterprises. In addition, there was an age "ceiling effect" among Chinese municipal officials. Further research showed that the regional level of rule of law mitigated the negative effect of political promotion on the productivity of manufacturing firms. Finally, this paper makes policy recommendations for improving the promotion mechanism of officials, enhancing regional legalization, and transforming government functions.
