This study reviewed the existing literature to understand how e-commerce is helping women to be empowered as established entrepreneurs as well as how they face emerging challenges. The study has incorporated several published articles from electronic media using the keywords women entrepreneurs, e-commerce adoption, barriers, and relevant terms. It included studies that focus on the adoption, utilization, and challenges associated with e-commerce platforms and technologies by women-led businesses. Moreover, papers published within the last 12 years (not before 2011) are considered to ensure the relevancy and currency of the context. The ways e-commerce changes the lives of women, along with challenges and opportunities are identified through this study. Women entrepreneurs attribute a significant impact of e-commerce to their entrepreneurial activities. E-commerce enhances the skills and knowledge of women entrepreneurs and acts as a catalyst for continuous learning and skill development. Several challenges are faced by women entrepreneurs in adopting e-commerce. Online security and privacy, high costs, and a lack of digital literacy come as the major barriers for women entrepreneurs. This suggests that financial and skill-related challenges hinder the widespread adoption of e-commerce.</p> Humaun Kabir, Soaib Ahmed, Omar Faruk, Jamil Ahmed, Zareen S.

In the current era of Globalization, Diversity Management has emerged an important domain of focus for the authority overseeing Human Resource of any organisation.<br />The objective of the present study was to study both these aspects and thus derive the relation on how a diverse human resource relates to perceptions of justice. The data in the study was collected through purposive sampling from 105 participants by administering the Organisational Justice Scale (Colquitt, 2001). The diversity in the data was introduced with factors demographic factors as age where it ranged from 21 to 60, gender &amp; work experience. Other key features of data in this regard were that it was collected from both Public &amp; Private organisations, and the sectors such as Manufacturing, Information Technology, Social Security, Banking &amp; Finance, Hospitality and Education were included. The study which used descriptive statistics to analyse the data, found a high negative correlation of age with perception of Informational Justice, whereas low correlation was found with Distributive and Procedural Justice. The mean score of Procedural Justice was found to be higher amongst Private employees in comparison to Public whereas for Distributive Justice it was found to be higher among Public employees.

Historically considered as auxiliary commodities, the products have currently become strategic in the international trade and national food reserves, especially to the import-dependent countries. This paper discusses the meaning of frozen food in the wider perspective of agri-food systems with regard to the international trade systems as the foundation of food security and food affordability across countries. Studied in the context of current geopolitical conflicts, as well as disruption of trade, and stress on the environment via war in Ukraine, sanctions on Russia, and with the shortage of containers following instability in the Red Sea the research distinguishes the weak points within the global food chains. One of the focuses is on the position of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to secure regional food system resilience and supply continuity. It achieves this by basing its premises on literature provided by FAO, WTO, WFP and peer-reviewed journals thus providing the structural risks of the food supply chains as well as policy solutions should there be a need to strengthen the food supply chains. The article contends that frozen food as grains and vegetable oils are to be understood now as one of the fundamental pillars of the food system resilience, and such needs to be responded to with geopolitical, economic, and institutional action coordination.</p> Nataliya Bilchenko Copyright (c) 2025 https://dmejournals.com/index.php/DMEJM/article/view/542 Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Monetary Policy Instruments and Economic Growth https://dmejournals.com/index.php/DMEJM/article/view/523 <p>The paper examines how monetary policy maintains economic stability and supports growth through its instruments which include open market operations and reserve requirements and discount rates. The paper investigates both theoretical concepts and practical uses of monetary policy and then studies how expansionary and contractionary actions transform important economic statistics including growth in GDP and inflation along with employment changes. This paper investigates flexible monetary policy adaptations through analysis of historical achievements alongside new emerging world market developments. Monetary policy plays a vital function by reducing poverty while enhancing credit opportunities as part of promoting inclusive growth throughout emerging markets that fight income gaps. This extensive investigation demonstrates that monetary policy both defines economic expansion and supports general social progress in the nation.</p> Naitik Agarwal, Babita Chaudhary Copyright (c) 2025 DME Journal of Management https://dmejournals.com/index.php/DMEJM/article/view/523 Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000
