EXCHANGE RATE IMPACT ON ECONOMIC DISCOURSE: A COMPREHENSIVE BIBLIOMETRIC STUDY
Abstract
The focus of this study is on the impact of exchange rate volatility as it has gained the interest of many researchers around the world. Additionally, the globalization process increased firms reaction to exchange rate (Berman et al. 2012). Therefore, the primary goal of the study is to comprehend the contribution made in relation to this subject. For this reason, the bibliometric analysis was used in this study to assess the literature on foreign exchange risk. A statistical method called bibliometric analysis is employed to illustrate advancements in a field of study and pinpoint potential future lines of exploration. The bibliometric analysis was based on 1445 documents from Scopus database spanning from 1983 to 2024. The quantity of information gathered indicates how important the subject is to scientific study. Furthermore, we list influential authors, journals, and countries that have studied currency volatility. The way the study has changed over time demonstrates how much interest there has been in the subject. The study's linkages have been visualized and graphic maps have been produced using the VOS viewer software.

HUMANISTIC STRATEGIZING IN THE AGE OF EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES – EVIDENCE ON INTEGRATING AI IN THE STRATEGIZING PROCESS
Abstract
This article takes a constructive stance towards emerging technologies in the specific context of strategizing. The purpose is neither to add and intensify doomsday scenarios about how, for example, AI replaces white collar staff members in their crucial roles, nor to hype up the glimpses of what is becoming feasible technologically. The purpose is to describe a use case of one sample technology. Illustrating how it works should inspire one to understand technological potentials better and trigger a dialogue on how to bring organizational tasks, such as strategizing, to life more aptly. This article zooms in on the AQai application, an AI-based software able to support strategic analysis, evaluate options, and prepare for a more sound implementation and approach to change management. The empirical substantiation relies on an anonymized case study to protect the company participating in an exercise to explore how ready it is for a major strategic shift. The study implies that never before could an organization’s readiness be analyzed as effectively as this is the case now. Effectiveness refers first to the time needed to start, implement, interpret and communicate the results, and second to the cost of doing so due to automation with the help of AI.

GENDER DYNAMICS AND DUAL-STAGE ADOPTION OF IRRIGATION TECHNOLOGY AMONG SMALL-SCALE BANANA FARMERS IN TANZANIA
Abstract
The research explores the drivers of adoption of irrigation technology among 6.008 small-scale banana farmers considering gender. The study utilizes data from the 2019/2020 National Sample Census on Agriculture in Tanzania and employs the Double-Hurdle Model in the analysis. The study found that female-headed households are less likely to adopt irrigation, with factors like farm size, mixed cropping, and limited literacy reducing adoption, while access to irrigation schemes, modern homes, literacy, and agroecological zones positively influence adoption. The study recommends to implement gender-sensitive agricultural programs that provide female-headed households with access to irrigation technologies, financial resources, and extension services.
Keywords: Gender, small-scale banana farming, irrigation technology adoption, Tanzania, double-hurdle model

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN EMERGING MARKETS
Abstract
Human Resource Management (HRM) has undergone significant evolution, particularly in emerging markets, transitioning from administrative roles to strategic functions that align with organizational goals and local contexts. This study employs a bibliometric analysis of 109 articles from the Scopus database (2004–2024) to explore HRM research trends, influential contributions, and thematic developments in emerging markets. Key findings reveal a growing scholarly focus on HRM practices, with 2024 marking a peak in research productivity. Influential authors and institutions predominantly originate from developed nations, underscoring the need for localized perspectives. The analysis identifies thematic clusters such as HRM practices, knowledge sharing, and region-specific challenges, emphasizing the interplay of cultural, institutional, and economic factors. Emerging markets demonstrate unique HRM dynamics, shaped by globalization, regulatory frameworks, and workforce diversity. The study contributes to HRM literature by offering insights into its evolution, identifying knowledge gaps, and proposing future research directions, including cross-cultural interactions, hybrid HRM models, and the impact of technological advancements like AI and robotics. This comprehensive review highlights HRM's critical role in fostering innovation, adapting to diverse cultural contexts, and enhancing organizational performance in emerging markets. Findings of this study offer a comprehensive view of HRM research in emerging markets, providing valuable insights and implications for researchers and practitioners.
