This book presents a collection of topics that reflect the evolving landscape of economics, leadership, technology, and social systems in an interconnected world. From the role of accounting in supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to the complex interplay of transfer pricing regulations, tax compliance, and public perception, it covers critical issues shaping global financial practices. By investigating leadership at multinational companies through the dual lenses of cultural dynamics and artificial intelligence and underscoring the growing significance of digital networks in the global economy, the book fosters a rich, cross-disciplinary dialogue.
Based on papers presented at the 7th International Conference on Economics and Social Sciences (ICESS 2024), held in Bucharest, Romania, the book offers a valuable asset for scholars, practitioners, and anyone interested in the future of global economic and social systems.
