2020-2021 was a particularly difficult year for the entire world economy. The full Lockdown, announced in the countries due to the pandemic, has harmed small and medium-sized businesses or entrepreneurs.

However, there have been cases where rapid response and the shift to digital have even made some businesses doubly profitable.

All of this, of course, has had little to do with the world's giant corporations and companies. With billions in profits in the competitive market, there has simply been a redistribution of order among the various giant companies.

By the end of 2021, out of the 10 most expensive companies in the world with a market capitalization of trillions, eight are American, one operating in Saudi Arabia and one in Taiwan.

 

Here are listed ten leading companies in the world:

 

• Apple - $ 2.944 trillion market capitalization (US)

• Microsoft - $ 2.571 trillion market capitalization (US)

• Alphabet - $ 1.969 trillion market capitalization (US)

• Saudi Aramco - $ 1.854 trillion market capitalization (Saudi Arabia)

• Amazon - $ 1.746 trillion market capitalization (US)

• Tesla - Market capital of $ 1.021 trillion (US)

• Meta (Facebook) - $ 917.28 billion market capitalization (US)

• NVIDIA - $ 752.53 billion market capitalization (US)

• Berkshire Hathaway - $ 645.37 billion in market capitalization (US)

• TSMC - Market capital of $ 617.81 billion (Taiwan)

 

 

As for the question of which is the largest employer in the world top-20 companies, first of all, it should be noted that today the problem of employment in the world, including in Georgia, remains one of the unresolved challenges. This issue became even more acute after the spread of the coronavirus. In the last two years alone, up to a million employees in the U.S. have been laid off. The rate is colossal worldwide.

It is interesting, which countries have been able to more or less stabilize unemployment and which are the companies that have the most employees worldwide?

As it turned out, most people are employed by companies based in the United States, China, and Germany.

 

This is a list of 20 leading companies in the world based on the number of employees:

 

1. Walmart, USA. 2,200,000 employees

2. Amazon, USA. 1,271,000 employees

3. Volkswagen, Germany. 662,653 employees.

4. FedEx, USA. 570,000 employees.

5. Deutsche Post, Germany. 565,053 employees.

6. Compass Group, United Kingdom. 548,143 employees.

7. United Parcel Service, USA. 540,000 employees.

8. Accenture, Ireland. 537,000 employees.

9. Kroger, USA. 500,000 employees.

Probability of Nuclear Weapons’ Disarmament from the Perspective of the Great Powers

  Probability of Nuclear Weapons’ Disarmament from the Perspective of the Great Powers By: Sofi Beridze Nika Chitadze Abstract   The article elaborates upon and analyzes the notion of nuclear weapons non-proliferation and clarifies its importance. Nevertheless, we demonstrate that total nuclear disarmament in contemporary competitive international politics is almost unattainable due to various factors. Initially, some countries that possess nuclear weapons strive to preserve their dominant position in the international arena, that’s why complete disarmament is impossible, and leading powers utilize them for their self-defense. Therefore, it’s out of the question to abandon ownership of them. The paper seeks to demonstrate the importance of “hard power” (regarding nuclear weapons) as a main tool for great powers to preserve preference. We mean maintaining power and primacy as much as they can, compared to other countries. In this article, it is determined whether nuclea...

Will Putin be able to persuade Lukashenko to directly involve the Belarusian army in the war with Ukraine?

  Will Putin be able to persuade Lukashenko to directly involve the Belarusian army in the war with Ukraine?   By: Nika Chitadze Professor of the International Black Sea University        Director of the Center for International Studies  President of the George C. Marshall Alumni Union, Georgia - International and Security Research Center   As is known, Russian President Putin flew to Minsk on December 19 with his "landing" - Minister of Defense Shoigu and Minister of Foreign Affairs Lavrov, and held very serious talks with his Belarusian counterpart Lukashenko, which could greatly influence the course of the Russian-Ukrainian war in the next two to three months.  The details of Putin's visit to the capital of Belarus were shrouded in secrecy - motorcades of Russian and US presidents usually use two identical armored limousines, which constantly change places in the motorcade to make it difficult for potential attackers of that parti...

АРЕСТ ПУТИНА – МИФ, КОТОРЫЙ МОЖЕТ СТАТЬ РЕАЛЬНОСТЬЮ?

  АРЕСТ ПУТИНА – МИФ, КОТОРЫЙ МОЖЕТ СТАТЬ РЕАЛЬНОСТЬЮ? Как стало известно, 3 сентября запланирован визит российского лидера в Улан-Батор, где он должен принять участие в торжественных мероприятиях по случаю 85-летия совместной победы СССР и Монголии над японскими войсками на реке Халхин-Гол. Также запланирована официальная встреча с президентом Хурэлсухом. Визит Путина в Монголию в Кремле не вызывает «переживаний», несмотря на наличие ордера на его арест, который, по утверждению Международного уголовного суда (МУС) , Улан-Батор обязан выполнить. Примечательно, что Монголия станет первым государством, признающим юрисдикцию МУС, куда Путин намеревается поехать после начала полномасштабного вторжения в Украину. В конце лета 2023 года он отказался от поездки в ЮАР, которая также является страной-подписантом Римского статута. Вместо него тогда в Йоханнесбург, на саммит БРИКС, отправился глава МИД Лавров, а сам же Путин выступил лишь по видеосвязи. Напомним, что 17 марта ...
