Economic Diplomacy in the Digital Era: Morocco’s Roadmap for Africa
Get PDFABSTRACT: Digitalization is profoundly redefining economic dynamics across Europe, the Mediterranean and Africa, marking an era of unprecedented transformation. In this context, economic diplomacy is emerging as a key instrument to facilitate this digital transition by fostering regional partnerships and innovation, providing challenges and opportunities for countries aiming for long-lasting growth. Morocco has taken on this digital transformation by implementing proactive economic diplomacy to promote inclusive economic development. Morocco is improving its trade relations, attracting foreign investments, and promoting innovation in key sectors by incorporating digital technologies into its economic strategies. This strategy is in line with its overall objectives of enhancing financial inclusivity, promoting business development, and reducing gender disparities. Morocco's digital diplomacy not only reinforces regional partnerships, especially in Africa, but also establishes the country as a pioneer in digital-based development. This article analyzes how Morocco strategically utilizes digitalization in economic diplomacy, emphasizing its ability to advance a more inclusive and resilient economic future. Using this perspective, we investigate how digital resources are being utilized to generate fresh possibilities, promote creativity, and boost Morocco's worldwide economic impact in an increasingly digitalized society.

Le Neuromarketing, Une Nouvelle Ere Pour L’experience Touristique Du Consommateur Au Maroc.
Get PDFAbstract
Experiential research, spanning consumer behavior, behavioral decision theory, and strategic marketing, has become pivotal in shaping marketing disciplines, integrating insights from psychology, economics, management, and sociology. The incorporation of neuroscience in marketing involves studying the biological foundations of cognitive and affective processes, with brain imaging serving as a crucial tool explored by both neuroscientists and marketers.
Neuromarketing represents a multidimensional field, described as a new area of investigation, applied neuroscience, marketing trend, and discipline in its own right. Acting as a subfield of neuroeconomics or an offshoot, neuromarketing serves as a window into the black box of consumer emotions and preferences, offering a deeper understanding of their meaning.
This paper aims to enhance the fusion of experiential marketing and neuromarketing, providing a conceptual, theoretical, and empirical perspective on the alliance's dynamics and its contribution to enriching consumer experiences. Through a qualitative approach, the study focuses on the tourism sector in Morocco, employing verbatim transcriptions to derive practical insights and recommendations.
While travel experiences traditionally blend physical and digital elements, the full integration of neuromarketing techniques for tourism remains underexplored. The research emphasizes key factors influencing tourism product purchases, including tourist expectations, life experiences, emotions, and perceptions, leveraging data and information gathered from online searches for memorable experiences. The expanded notion of consumer behavior now encompasses the entire consumption process, addressing factors that influence consumers before, during, and after a purchase.

Pourquoi ne pas institutionnaliser la zakat au Maroc ?
Get PDFRésume :
La mise en place institutionnelle de la zakat a débuté sous le régime du Prophète (Que la Paix et le Salut soient sur Lui) et s'est manifestée par la création d'une administration de zakat (ou Baitu al mal), responsable de la collecte et de la distribution des ressources recueillies. Suite au décès du Prophète (Que la Paix et le Salut soient sur Lui), les califes successifs ont également préservé l'administration de zakat, en particulier Omar Ibn al Khattab. Sa planification économique a contribué à générer d'importantes recettes dans les territoires acquis.
Plusieurs nations ont déjà instauré un type de financement public pour la zakat, où le paiement soit obligatoire (Arabie saoudite, Pakistan, Malaisie) ou volontaire (Koweït, Égypte, Jordanie) pour que les huit catégories mentionnées dans le coran bénéficient de la zakat.
Notre article vise à examiner les défis potentiels identifiés par les entreprises marocaines qui entravent la non-institutionnalisation de la zakat au Maroc. Les résultats de notre enquête indiquent que les participants classent les obstacles à la création d'un organisme dédié à la collecte et à la distribution des fonds de la zakat en trois catégories majeures : le risque de détournement des fonds, le manque de la logistique, et estiment que ce projet ne profiterait pas l'État marocain.

Abstract:
The institutional establishment of zakat began during the reign of the Prophet (PBUH) and involved the creation of a zakat administration (or Baitu al mal), responsible for collecting and distributing the resources collected. Following the death of the Prophet (PBUH), the successive caliphs also preserved the zakat administration, in particular Omar Ibn al Khattab. His economic planning helped to generate substantial revenues in the acquired territories.
Several nations have already introduced some form of public funding for zakat, where payment is either compulsory (Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Malaysia) or voluntary (Kuwait, Egypt, Jordan) so that the eight categories mentioned in the Koran benefit from zakat.
Our article aims to examine the potential challenges identified by Moroccan companies that hinder the non-institutionalisation of zakat in Morocco. The results of our survey indicate that the participants classify the obstacles to the creation of an organisation dedicated to the collection and distribution of zakat funds into three major categories: the risk of misappropriation of funds, the lack of logistics, and believe that this project would not benefit the Moroccan state.

Abstract
The article undertakes a systematic review of various machine learning approaches in credit risk analysis, based on the examination of 20 specifically selected articles. The results highlight a diversity of machine learning approaches, such as decision trees, neural networks, and K-nearest neighbor (KNN) classification. An in-depth analysis reveals that some methods, particularly neural networks and decision trees, demonstrate superior accuracy and remarkable performance compared to classical approaches such as logistic regression and discriminant analysis. However, these methods also exhibit limitations, such as sensitivity to data noise and model complexity. This study emphasizes a crucial interest for practitioners and financial decision-makers aiming to enhance credit risk management practices. It underscores the increasing importance of machine learning in this domain while emphasizing the need for future empirical research to validate these findings and overcome the inherent challenges of these approaches. This would further optimize the performance and applicability of these innovative methods.

Optimization of Logistics Operations Through the Implementation of New Technologies of Industry 4.0: Case of Products with Dynamic Demand within a Moroccan company
Get PDFABSTRACT
As technology permeates the world day after day, its influence affects all fields including manufacturing companies, especially the logistical aspect, given its extreme importance and direct impact on the company’s development and the success of its transactions.
Nowadays, the implementation of new technologies in the logistics sector is no longer seen as a decision for companies to make or not, but as a commitment that they must make in order to keep up with the competitive level of the market and, as a result, achieve their goals by improving their management methods.
Although the integration of new technologies has been applied for years within many multinational companies, it still poses an issue for several local companies in developing countries that are also trying hard to provide what is needed to introduce the required technology into their operations.
The delay of a large number of local companies in integration new technologies is either due to the lack of competition in the market, or the lack of qualified competencies, or attributable to weak customer requirements, as well as the high costs of introducing technology.
We tried through this paper to address an empirical study of the impact of new technologies on logistics performance of manufacturing companies, through a local Moroccan industrial company, which knows a dynamic demand, and not much time has passed since they started integrating modern technology in their operations.

Analyzing the path of dashboard appropriation: A three-dimensional examination from rational, psycho-cognitive and socio-political perspectives
Get PDFAbstract
Initially, the dashboard was regarded as a purely rational and objective tool, designed to assist decision-makers in managing their organization by providing a clear and precise view of performance. Failures in dashboard adoption were often attributed to inherent flaws in the tool itself, without considering the interactions between the user and the artifact. However, in recent years, a new approach to appropriating management tools, including the dashboard, has emerged, placing the user at the heart of the reflection and integrating psycho-cognitive and socio-political perspectives alongside the rational perspective.
In this article, we seek to understand how actors perceive the process of appropriating the dashboard. We conducted a case study on three Moroccan SMEs to identify the different perspectives—rational, psycho-cognitive, and socio-political—that influence the dashboard appropriation process.

The Role of Public Expenditure on Sports in Economic Growth: Evidence from Burkina Faso
Get PDFABSTRACT
This paper analyzes the impact of the components of public spending on sports economic growth in Burkina Faso. The autoregressive distributed lag model analysis approach was used to analyze the impact of these expenditures on economic growth in Burkina Faso from 1988-2019. Bounds test results suggest that the variables are related in the long run.
The results confirm that the sports budget has a positive and significant effect on short- and long-term economic growth up to the 5% threshold in Burkina Faso. Sports investment expenditure has a positive and significant impact on economic growth in the short and long term up to the 1% and 5% levels, respectively. In the long term, this expenditure has a negative and insignificant effect on economic growth. Sports subsidies also have a positive and insignificant effect on economic growth in the short and long terms.

Impact of Entrepreneurship on Employment in Morocco: Multiple Regression Analysis
Get PDFABSTRACT
Entrepreneurship is recognized as a fundamental pillar in the dynamics of employment, including in Morocco. This study investigates the impact of entrepreneurship on the Moroccan labor market using a multiple regression econometric approach, drawing on a rigorous selection of research from leading sources in the field. The results of this analysis categorically confirm that entrepreneurship plays an essential role in job creation in Morocco by stimulating the creation of new businesses and meeting the demand for skilled labor. However, this positive effect can be influenced by various factors such as the local economic context, national policies, and the specific characteristics of the Moroccan market.
On the one hand, entrepreneurship offers a glimmer of hope to individuals facing challenges in the Moroccan job market, thus contributing to economic growth through innovation and value creation. On the other hand, the obstacles inherent in setting up a business in this context, such as instability and the associated risks, can lead to fluctuations in the employment landscape, with potentially devastating consequences for some less privileged entrepreneurs. To promote an ecosystem conducive to entrepreneurship and sustainable job creation in Morocco, strategic government action is required, notably through policies aimed at facilitating access to financing, supporting the development of local entrepreneurial skills, and simplifying country-specific administrative regulations.
In summary, this analysis highlights the importance of understanding the complex dynamics between entrepreneurship and employment, particularly in the Moroccan context. It also underlines the crucial role of national public policies in stimulating economic growth and employment through entrepreneurship in Morocco.
