https://macrothink.org/journal/index.php/ber/article/view/21769
<p class="ber-body">The emergence of sharing investment within the landscape of the sharing economy presents a transformative market model blending ownership and resource utilization. This research delves into the tech-driven and collaborative nature of sharing investment, drawing upon seminal works and the evolving economic terrain of Vietnam. It offers nuanced insights into the multifaceted dimensions, implications, and challenges stemming from regulatory gaps and complex responsibilities. Highlighting the necessity for an inclusive and transparent framework, the research advocates for flexible policies to harness the potential benefits of sharing investments while navigating inherent challenges. Through a thorough analysis, this study lays a foundation for future research and policy development in the dynamic realm of investment sharing in Vietnam.</p><p class="ber-body">In addition to the foundational aspects, recent empirical findings underscore the revolutionary potential of sharing investment in Vietnam's by embracing cooperative ownership structures, technological integration, and community-centric approaches, sharing investment promises to foster financial inclusion, catalyze economic growth, and bolster societal welfare. However, realizing this potential necessitates overcoming several obstacles and establishing robust legislative frameworks. Regulatory adaptations must account for the innovative nature of sharing investments, safeguarding investors and ensuring market stability. In leveraging these strategies and capitalizing on the educated and technologically literate populace, Vietnam can harness the benefits of cooperative financial strategies, fostering equitable economic growth and societal advancement.</p>Luu Huu Duc

https://macrothink.org/journal/index.php/ber/article/view/21771
<p class="ber-body">Multinational organizations are considered among the best-performing organizations, both through organizational culture, politics, and education. The management functions of these organizations also generate effective leadership that largely determines the organizational performance and success of the companies. The management performance of managers in these organizations is measured by criteria that influence work efforts, effectiveness, and employee satisfaction. The purpose of this paper is an analysis of leadership styles and their effects on Northwest Romanian multinationals. In this sense, the research aims to fill the gaps in the specialized literature in the field. The research was based on instruments specific to the study of leadership styles,by applying a questionnaire to 140 leaders from 24 multinationals operating in NW Romania. The analysis was made through the prism of the correlations between the attributes and behaviors of the leaders and the results of these behaviors, respectively, the performance indicators. These quantitative data have statistics so as to identify the specific relationships between the leadership styles and their results. Also, the differences in the results were analyzed according to the sectors of activity, industry, and services in which these leaders operate. The results showed extremely small differences, which proves that the effects of leadership styles are significantly equal, regardless of the activity sector of the multinational organizations. The importance of the empirical study resides in the results of the analysis, which can lead to the promotion of effective leadership both in the studied region and in the entire country, as well as in other types of organizations and institutions.</p>Cristina A.

https://macrothink.org/journal/index.php/ber/article/view/21722
<p class="ber-body">Housing accounts for the largest portion of households' total assets in Turkey. It is an economic sector that requires careful analysis, especially considering the government's housing sector support policies and the significant price increases in recent years. This study utilizes the theoretical model developed within the Efficient Markets Hypothesis framework and the SVAR methodology to estimate house price changes. These changes are then decomposed into structural shocks, including supply, residential demand, and speculative demand shocks. The empirical results highlight the significant role of speculative demand in driving house price changes, with house price expectations being the main factor influencing speculative demand shocks. The behavior of the banking sector and interest rates also play a significant role in this process. Consequently, policies to stabilize house prices should consider these factors and not solely focus on credit regulations when consumer expectations are the driving force behind house price changes.</p>Ilyas Siklar
