“…The foodservice sub-part generates the largest part of value-adding and the majority of jobs in the hospitality industry. Social and demographic trends, as well as changing values in society, and consumer perceptions promote the development of new opportunities and products in the hotel, foodservice and tourism industry (Atkins and Bowler, 2001;GDFHTS, 2010;Gheribi, 2015a;Gheribi and Voytovych, 2018). Stable economic conditions, labor market development, and accelerating the pace of life will further boost this sector (Robinson et al, 2013;Gheribi, 2017).…”

The foodservice and accommodation industry makes a major contribution to the European economy. This industry has been particularly chosen for a study because it is an important and extremely competitive and dynamic industry, which is characterized by continuous transformation. The article presents an overview and analysis of the foodservice and accommodation industry in countries in the European Union (EU) to assess its importance in the European economic system. Secondary sources of information were used to reach the scope of the paper. The analysis presented in this article is based on the main dataset for structural business statistics (SBS), size class data and regional data. The research period was the years 2010-2014. A comparative method was applied for the analysis of collected data and materials. In this research, industrial analysis was used, which was a statistical analysis of the size, demographic, and other economic dimensions of any industry of an economy. Findings show that this industry contributes to job creation and economic growth in favorable times but the support of decision-makers, legal and fiscal rules is needed if the hospitality industry must be considered for a key driver for welfare and sustainability in Europe.

“…The ability to harness technological knowledge from foreign direct investment is crucial for local rms to be competitive in their operations. As noted by Gheribi and Voytovych (2018) rms and local manufacturing enterprises in China have successfully used foreign technology to reach global status in their operations and development. Additionally, the technology transfer not only improved production e ciency but also led to skill development among local workers who were trained to operate and maintain the advanced machinery (Sun and Anwar, 2017;Liao et al, 2018).…”

This paper explores the potential of Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) to drive technological advancements and promote sustainable growth in West Africa's non-oil manufacturing sector. The purpose of the study is to evaluate and ascertain the technological advancement that has been accompanied by FDI in West African countries. This study uses the FDI dataset of 5 West African countries and adopts the panel data analysis that spans from 1990 – 2022 to evaluate the factors that contribute to the diffusion and adoption of technological innovation. Data were sourced from the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and Investment Promotion centers of selected countries. Findings from the study showed that factors that contribute to the diffusion and adoption of technological innovation come from FDI, political indicators, and Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Thus, there is a positive relationship between FDI and GDP on technological diffusion and adoption; the higher the FDI and GDP size the more improved the adoption and diffusion of technology in the specific market across the continent. The negative relationship between political stability and technology diffusion proves that the lower the occurrence of terrorism or political turmoil the higher the adoption of technology in manufacturing. The study recommends the need for governments to improve political stability and set up technology hubs and clusters to facilitate knowledge sharing and collaboration to absorb technology diffusion in their respective economies.

The article is devoted to the problem of the functioning of the social sphere in the areas of the Carpathian-Podillia region. Emphasis is placed particularly on the differences between the levels of its individual components, the dynamics of their changes and the complex analysis of functionality. Territorial boundaries of the research are confined to Zakarpattia, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Chernivtsi, Vinnytsia, Khmelnytskyi and Ternopil regions, among which economic, labor-resource and informational-communicative connections are established, which also should be considered as a strength of such cooperation. Several basic components of the social sphere (education, culture, medicine, housing and communal services, trade and mass catering, communication) were selected for studying the differences between the elements of the social sphere in the areas of the Carpathian-Podillia region; for each several criteria were chosen (in general over 20). Residents of the study regions were also surveyed on their satisfaction with the functioning of the social sphere elements. To assess the risks of the functioning of the social sphere, the following criteria have been adopted: the identification of problematic regional areas, the identification of problematic areas of functioning within a certain component of the social sphere and the creation of appropriate grouping. Use was made of the information from the State Statistics Service of Ukraine.
