ABSTRACT
The present monograph aims to describe comprehensibly the difficulties organisations have to face when trying to introduce changes. One of them is internal resistance to change. The sources of resistance are complex and varied. Among them, one may find uncertainty, need to feel secure, fear of losing power, unwillingness to change habits, and economic factors. Through a selective literature review, this paper seeks to offer some recommendations that may prove useful when designing and implementing change initiatives within an organisation. Some steps to follow are identifying what can be changed, establishing affordable goals, identifying change agents, creating trust, and developing commitment and a positive attitude towards change.

ABSTRACT
Creating a social dialogue policy in the Indonesian tourism industry to lessen the effects of COVID-19 is one of the goals of this research. Qualitative analysis is the research methodology used. The findings of this study suggest that the Indonesian government should develop five measures to promote social discourse in the travel industry, including The tourism industry's allocation of cash for managing COVID-19, along with economic stimulation for corporate actors, which constitutes the first social dialogue policy. To prevent worker layoffs, the economic stimulus is meant to encourage corporate actors to keep up their operations. The second strategy involves social dialogue in the tourism industry, offering initiatives in the form of income tax benefits, easing loan/credit payments, and, soon, a policy easing social security contributions for employment will be published to alleviate formal sector workers. The third strategy is to offer an informal sector workforce with a social safety net. Workers in the unorganized sector are considered poor and vulnerable, and the government provides social support for them. The fourth idea is to give laid-off people priority in receiving training incentives through a pre-employment card scheme. The government has offered training incentives with a target year of recipients, and it has become clear that the beneficiaries are primarily laid-off workers. The fifth policy is to expand job opportunities through initiatives including entrepreneurship, cash labour intensive, productive labour intensive, Applied Appropriate Technology, and Independent Manpower. In addition, the protection of Indonesian migrant workers, particularly those working in the tourism industry and those who have returned to Indonesia and those still overseas.

ABSTRACT
This study examined if inward foreign direct investment (to be referred to as FDI henceforth) and economic infrastructural in a country interact insofar as economic development is concerned. The study classified 95 developing countries selected based on data availability by geographical region. Secondary data from 1998 to 2020 was used and regression analysis performed on panel data set spanning for 23 years using E-views. Eleven equations were tested for robustness and results analyzed. The study found that FDI inflows and economic infrastructure individually increase gross domestic product per capita growth. This study also used a distributed-lag model and showed that economic infrastructure and inward FDI interact with a lag. The study established that last period’s economic infrastructure and inward FDI interact. This, positively and significantly, increase current gross domestic product per capita. Unambiguously therefore, this paper concluded that economic infrastructure is the main transmission mechanism through which FDI influences the host country’s economic development. Good economic infrastructure increases productivity of investment and therefore promotes FDI inflows. Consequently, gross domestic product per capita increases. This, ceteris paribus, raises global welfare. Physical domestic investment is exogenous in this paper’s modelling and can be endogenous in a second equation. The paper therefore used instrumental variables (IV) through a stronger method of 2SEGLS (Two Stages Estimated Generalized Least Square) and showed the implicit “second” estimated equation of physical domestic investment. The empirical finding from this autoregressive model showed that inward FDI could be crowding out domestic investment in developing countries.

ABSTRACT
The protection of citizens and their ability to exercise their rights and freedoms are key indicators of the success of law enforcement authorities, which the public continuously assesses. One of the strategic resources of the life of modern society is various information. Computer networks, geographical information systems, means of tactical forecasting of crimes, numerous integrated databases are already widely applied in the activities of the law enforcement agencies. Despite this, the main information resource for forensic purposes represented by the information arrays of the forensic registration system still remains a repository of heterogeneous data, the collective use of which causes significant organizational and technical difficulties. Information and analytical support for the disclosure and investigation of crimes is aimed at obtaining an analytical information product about the structure, hierarchy, and composition of criminal groups, about the commodity and cash flows and relations of individuals and legal entities, about their joint criminal activities, about the unidentified circumstances of the events of the crime to be proven. Implementing cumulative object and trace inspections on various information arrays aids in establishing the missing details of the crime event.

ABSTRACT
An entrepreneur is a man or woman who starts or organizes, operates, shifts economic resources, coordinating, controlling of instituting significant changes and assumes the risk of his or her venture as well as receives the financial profits and nonmonetary rewards from the market value of his or her product. In Bangladesh, the entrepreneurs’ rate is increasing with the assistance of different loans. Consequently, it is a burning quest for entrepreneurs to get loans in easy ways and conditions. To meet this demand, they need to be supported SME loans by Government and central banks. Moreover, the new entrepreneurs are taking loans from several sources like family members, relatives and different financial and non-financial institutions. This study aims to find out the role of Sonali Bank Limited in creating entrepreneurs: A survey on Kotbari Branch. From in-depth interviews, it was found that getting SME loans with previous business experience, especially for new entrepreneurs, is one of the significant problems. In other interviews, 14 entrepreneurs among 39 entrepreneurs (44% among 100%) who took SME loans from SBL found that entrepreneurs don’t get enough SMEs according to their demands and expectations. Findings show that the need for SME loans in developing countries like Bangladesh is increasing with the increasing number of new entrepreneurs. It is advised that the government and central bank improve SME loans by appropriate actions, such as abolishing past company experience criteria for new entrepreneurs, in addition to lowering superfluous formalities and increasing transparency. SME loans can change an economic image of a country cooperating with honest and bona fide entrepreneurs’ necessities. In the present economy of our country, the sector is shaking the face of our independent country Bangladesh.
