AN OVERVIEW OF THE CRITERIA AND DIMENSIONS OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ARAB MODELS FOR EXCELLENCE MANAGEMENT IN BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS
There exists a set of global models that have focused primarily on excellence and its management, each relying on different criteria and principles. These models addressing excellence management vary both at the global and Arab levels. Clarifying the underlying principles and governing values of these models is of utmost importance. This clarification aids organizations in ensuring the application of excellence standards, measuring the level of performance or service provided. Hence, the significance of this study emerges, aiming to present some models and awards of excellence in Arab countries, highlighting their key features and dimensions, and attempting to compare them with global excellence management models. The study concludes that both global and Arab excellence models share many dimensions and criteria through which excellence is managed within organizations, as these organizations operate globally within the framework of openness to the global market

RESEARCH ON THE LINKAGE OF DIGITAL MONEY MARKET: EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS BASED ON GRANGER CAUSALITY TEST AND VARIANCE DECOMPOSITION
Based on the close price data of the main nine currency pairs in the digital money market in the period between 2018 and 2020, the linkage relationship between the nine currency pairs' price changes has been empirically studied. The impact of BTCUSDT and ETHUSDT on the volatility of other currencies is analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient, Granger causality test and variance decomposition. The results show that the price change of BTCUSDT is the reason for the price change of all other currencies. The fluctuation change of BTCUSDT can be explained by its own fluctuation. The fluctuation of other currencies has little contribution on the fluctuation of BTCUSDT. Among the contributions made on the overall market volatility, BTC's impact on market volatility is higher than ETH's impact on market volatility. XRP volatility can be explained by its own volatility, and its currency trend is quite different from that of other currencies
