Title: Viewing Employee Empowerment Through a Trauma-Informed Care Lens: Is there a Difference?
Author: Jesse A. Greer
Abstract: Employee empowerment was first introduced in literature during the 1950s but has become a highly researched topic. This theoretical review investigated if employee empowerment could be viewed through a trauma-informed lens. The trauma-informed care approach consists of six core principles, empowerment being one of them. Although similarities were noted between the characteristics of empowering individuals receiving trauma-informed care and the literature covering employee empowerment, new ideas on how to approach empowerment in the workplace are offered. Future research is needed to see if a difference truly exists between the two types of empowerment.

Title: EnvisageInfinitive an International Business & Global Marketing Model
Author: Amit Kapoor
Abstract: Envisage Infinitive is a futuristic International Business and Global Marketing model that outdates contemporary international business and global marketing models. It overcomes many obstacles, hurdles, and challenges faced by companies from developed countries such as the U.S.A., Canada, France, Germany, Britain, and the rest of Europe, as well as developing countries that are manufacturing giants like India and China. These nations seek to expand internationally and globally but are constrained by stringent import–export and tariff policies, as well as socio-economic conditions shaped by the current global scenario. The model addresses the paradox wherein opportunities for global expansion often coexist with widespread criticism of outsourcing and manufacturing relocation, leading to redundancy and socio-economic disruptions. These challenges have global repercussions, prompting countermeasures and protectionist policies from various countries that restrict foreign products to safeguard domestic production-thereby hampering socio-economic prosperity and shrinking the global market space.

Title: Impact of Good Governance on Financial Inclusion in India: Evidence from the ARDL Bounds Testing Approach
Author: Dr. C.R. Bishnoi, Aashi Jain, Ayushi Vashistha
Abstract: Purpose: Financial inclusion plays a crucial role in a country’s economic development. In India, the Reserve Bank of India has actively promoted financial inclusion since 2005. This study examined the impact of good governance on financial inclusion in India by analyzing data from 1996 to 2021 using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model. Methodology: The study considered the Financial Inclusion Index as the dependent variable, while good governance indicators: Control of Corruption, Government Effectiveness, Political Stability, Regulatory Quality, Rule of Law and Voice and Accountability, were taken as independent variables. Additionally, GDP per capita, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and inflation were incorporated as control variables to ensure robust results. The ARDL model, which accommodates variables integrated at different orders, was used to examine both long-run and short-run relationships between financial inclusion and other variables.

Title: Fifty Years of Italian Personal Income Tax
Author: Dr. Ruggero Paladini
Abstract: This paper examines the evolution of the personal income tax (IRPEF) over fifty years. It describes the evolution of progressivity, initially based on a bracket structure, while the current dominant role is played by decreasing tax credits, creating excessive elasticity for most incomes. Furthermore, over time, many incomes that were initially included in the IRPEF have been progressively excluded. The system requires a thorough overhaul; the proposals presented are based on the dual system, in which income from work and income from capital are classified under two different taxes. The bracket structure is substituted by a continuous function for all tax payers.

Title: The Impact of Budgetary Control on Financial Performance: Evidence from SMEs in Ghana
Author: Lordwin Paa Kwesi Archer
Abstract: Small and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs) are important players in Ghana's economic growth but are often prone to financial volatility due to ineffective financial management systems. The study investigates the influence of budgeting control practices on financial performance of SMEs, guided by agency and goal-setting theories. Drawing on a cross-sectional survey of 200 SMEs, four dimensions of budgetary control formal budgets, review frequency, participative budgeting, and variance analysis were examined. Findings show that formal budgets, regular review, and participative budgeting significantly influence financial performance, while variance analysis doesn't significantly influence financial performance. Managerial capacity and firm size mediate the relationships. The research concludes that effective budgetary control increases profitability and sustainability and recommends capacity building and flexible budgeting models to improve SME financial management in Ghana.
