The Impact of Short Video Platform Usage on the Purchasing Decisions of Generation Z Consumers
With the rapid development of social media and the widespread adoption of the internet, short video platforms have become an important part of consumers' daily lives. They have also become a significant medium for information acquisition, social interaction, and consumption decision-making. The rise of short video platforms has played a crucial role in the purchasing decisions of Generation Z. This study focuses on four key pathways: emotional arousal, social identity, platform algorithms, and user-generated content (UGC). It also explains them through real-life case studies. The research finds that short video platforms have changed the purchasing paths of Generation Z.This transformation is driven by immersive content, algorithm-driven distribution, and strong interactive features. Emotional drive, herd mentality, personalized recommendations, and trust in UGC jointly influence consumer behavior. Based on this, this paper proposes these recommendations: platforms need to enhance advertising transparency and standardize commercial content labeling. It should increase algorithm transparency and grant users the power to self-manage their data and guide consumers like Generation Z towards rational consumption.

Research on the Transformation of Management Accounting Education System Empowered by AI
Under the impact of iterations in artificial intelligence and big data technology, the traditional management accounting education system, centered on cost accounting, budgeting, and performance evaluation, fails to meet the new demands of enterprises for “data insight, algorithm mastery, and cross-domain collaboration” due to its static, isolated, theoretical, standardized, and process-oriented training orientation. This has resulted in a serious mismatch between learning and application. This paper mainly focuses on the theme of “AI empowering the transformation of the management accounting education system”. Through system architecture design, it explores three core issues: how the curriculum system can break through disciplinary barriers, how the school and enterprise can be upgraded synchronously, and how the traditional score-based evaluation mechanism can shift towards data-driven ability profiling. Add AI and data courses, intelligent iterative traditional courses, project-based flipped classrooms, teacher AI empowerment and school enterprise co-construction laboratories, and a data-driven multi-dimensional evaluation loop. Research has shown that this path can systematically enhance students’ abilities in AI and big data analysis, modeling, and coping with many contemporary uncertainties and risks, achieving a transition from “knowledge transmission” to “value creation” in management accounting education.

Prediction and Analysis of the Performance of CSI 300 Index Constituent Stocks Based on Integrated Algorithms
Article thumbnail
This paper aims to explore the effectiveness of stock price prediction models based on ensemble algorithms by predicting the trends of the CSI 300 Index components. The study utilizes 20 feature variables from 242 trading days of the CSI 300 components in 2024, totaling 72,504 data points. Regression interpolation, DBSCAN and wavelet thresholding methods are employed to enhance data stability and quality. During the model construction phase, this study transforms the stock price prediction problem into a binary classification problem, using the direction of price changes in the denoised closing prices as classification labels. Two ensemble learning algorithms—Random Forest and XGBoost—are employed for modeling. Random Forest achieves predictions by constructing multiple decision tree models, with parameters set to n_estimators=500 and max_features=4. XGBoost further optimizes the boosting tree model and determines the optimal parameters through grid search. Both models use a 2:1 ratio to divide the training set and validation set, respectively, for model training and evaluation. XGBoost achieves a prediction accuracy of 55.76%, slightly higher than Random Forest's 55.46%.

The Impact of Digital Transformation on the Resilience of Manufacturing Firms
In the context of the turbulent international economic situation, digital transformation promotes the deep integration of digital technology and production development, and provides new tools for enterprises to cope with increasingly frequent external shocks. This paper empirically examines the role of digital transformation in relation to the resilience of manufacturing firms based on microdata from 3,670 A-share listed manufacturing firms from 2013 to 2022. The outcomes reveal that by making firms more agile and responsive, digital transformation improves corporate resilience; however, heterogeneity analysis illustrates that digital transformation serves a more substantial part in boosting the resilience of state-owned enterprises (SOEs). The aforementioned results offer small-scale proof that enterprise resilience has been enhanced by digital transformation.
