Usil Sis Sucahyo — 2024-07-30

This study aims to investigate the impact of entrepreneurial orientation on the financial performance of micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in the culinary sector, while also exploring the mediating roles of digital transformation and working capital in this relationship. Data were gathered via a field survey involving 360 culinary MSMEs operators in Semarang City, Salatiga City, and Surakarta City, with a proportional distribution across these locations. Statistical analysis was conducted using SEM-PLS. The results reveal that entrepreneurial orientation significantly influences financial performance, digital transformation, and working capital. Additionally, digital transformation and working capital play mediating roles in the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and financial performance. This study contributes to theoretical insights by proposing a model to enhance the economic performance of culinary MSMEs, focusing on entrepreneurial orientation, digital transformation, and working capital. From a policy perspective, the government is encouraged to support various initiatives aimed at enhancing entrepreneurial capabilities, fostering the adoption of digital technologies, and promoting effective working capital management within the culinary MSMEs sector.

The Effect of E-Commerce on Gross Regional Domestic Product and Clustering of Its Characteristics by Utilizing Official Statistics and Big Data

Widhelia Echa Pramesthy — 2024-07-30

The objective of this study is to examine the impact of e-commerce on Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) and categorize GRDP according to e-commerce features in 17 provinces throughout Java, Sumatra, and Bali. The Human Development Index (HDI), which measures people's proficiency with technology—among which is e-commerce—is greatest on these three islands. This study makes use of big data in the form of Google Trends data as well as official statistics data obtained from the BPS-Statistics Indonesia. K-means clustering and regression analysis are the research methods employed. The study's findings demonstrate that the three islands' GDP growth rates are considerably accelerated by e-commerce companies. There were two ideal clusters identified: the low and high GRDP clusters. All of the provinces on the island of Java are included in the high cluster, with the exception of Central Java, which is distinguished by high transaction values and e-commerce-related keyword searches. Provinces in the low cluster are located on the Indonesian islands of Sumatra and Bali, and they are distinguished by the usage of Cash on Delivery (COD) and a limited number of employees in e-commerce businesses.

Dancing with Uncertainty: Unraveling Firm Investment Inefficiencies in the Asia Pacific Region

Rita Juliana — 2024-07-30

This study explores the intricate relationship between uncertainty and corporate investment inefficiencies in the Asia-Pacific region, utilizing data from non-financial firms between 2008 and 2021. The method used in the study is fixed effect regression with Driscoll-Kraay robust standard error. The empirical analysis unveils that uncertainty leads to overinvestment. This phenomenon is more pronounced in middle and low-income economies, while high-income countries display a distinct trend of less susceptibility to uncertainty-induced suboptimal investment choices. The study’s implications extend to policymakers and industry stakeholders, urging a closer examination of firms’ risk management strategies, particularly considering the strategic potential of overinvestment as a buffer against uncertainty’s adverse effects. This holds particular significance in the dynamic economic landscape of the Asia-Pacific countries, where the study contributes to a deeper understanding of the interplay between uncertainty and inefficiency of investment decisions across diverse economic settings.

Herliana Dewi — 2024-07-30

The employment landscape in Indonesia is increasingly intricate and demands serious attention. Persistently high unemployment rates, coupled with a lower entrepreneurship ratio compared to other Southeast Asian nations, underscore the urgency for initiatives addressing entrepreneurial intention. Establishing an entrepreneurial intention program, anchored in personal values considerations, is imperative to align policies with community needs and ensure effective implementation. This study endeavors to craft entrepreneurial intentions intertwined with personal values, aimed at bolstering the entrepreneurial aspirations of both students and the broader community. The development of such a program involves a series of human activities ideally suited for analysis through soft systems methodology (SSM). Leveraging SSM, this study puts forth recommendations advocating for synergistic collaboration among the government, universities, entrepreneurs, and banking sectors. The objective is to devise a branding strategy for entrepreneurship, positioning it as an avenue for self-development and practical training enhancement through digital platforms. Effective implementation of this proposed program hinges on collaboration and synergistic communication among all stakeholders. It is essential for each entity involved to contribute collaboratively towards the seamless execution of this initiative.

Village finance is in the spotlight of the Republic Indonesia government, where there are many problems with village finance, from budgeting to financial reporting. This cannot be separated from the large disbursement of village funds from the central government to improve village welfare. This study aims to analyze the impact of competency factors, internal controls, and accounting information systems factors on the quality of village financial statements. With a population of 227 villages, this study collected samples from 138 villages through simple random sampling. The data that has been collected is then measured by Structural Equation Modeling – Partial Least Square with an alpha of 5%. The results show that the competencies have a positive significant effect on the quality of village financial statements. Likewise, internal control and accounting systems each positively affect the quality of village financial statements. This research has implications for local governments to increase training for village apparatus, expand internal control socialization and improve infrastructure related to computers and internet networks.

The Effect of Green Intellectual Capital, Good Corporate Governance, and Growth Options on Sustainability Performance

Husnul Khotimah — 2024-07-30

Global climate change, deforestation, plastic pollution, and other environmental issues have made sustainability performance an increasingly researched topic. This study investigates the impact of green intellectual capital, good corporate governance, and growth options on the sustainability performance of primary consumer goods sector companies in Indonesia. Additionally, it examines the moderating role of public ownership. We measure sustainability performance using a composite index based on the sustainability balanced scorecard and the G4 Global Reporting Initiative's sustainability reporting disclosure framework. To our knowledge, this study is the first to employ this specific measurement method. Using a random effects estimator on 144 observations, we estimated our models. The findings indicate that good corporate governance, growth options, and public ownership positively influence sustainability performance, while green intellectual capital does not. Furthermore, the study reveals that public ownership strengthens the effects of green intellectual capital and growth options on sustainability performance. This suggests that in companies with low public ownership, green intellectual capital alone may not sufficiently enhance sustainability performance.
