Abstract

Calculus-based creativepreneurship is an innovative approach aimed at enhancing the competitiveness of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) by applying mathematical concepts in business strategies. In the midst of the creative economy and digital transformation, MSMEs face challenges related to product innovation, financial management, and optimal use of digital technology. Limited access to data-driven training and quantitative analysis skills hinders effective and measurable business decision-making. This community service activity aims to bridge the gap between academic theory and field practice by integrating calculus concepts into MSME business decision-making processes. The program was conducted as part of the Raharja Enrichment Program (REP), which adopts the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) approach to provide practical, hands-on learning experiences. The method involved direct consultation with MSME actors. Students conducted observations, problem identification, and data analysis to apply calculus in calculating production costs, setting selling prices, break-even analysis and profit projections. Additionally, students used basic software tools to simulate cost and revenue scenarios and their impact on profit margins, making the learning experience more contextual and practical. The results show that the application of calculus supports MSMEs in improving operational efficiency, developing product innovation, and implementing more systematic, data driven financial strategies. Several partner MSMEs began adopting periodic performance evaluations using function graphs and rates of change. The integration of calculus in the development of creativepreneurship through REP provides dual benefits empowering MSMEs and enhancing student competencies. This model represents a strategic step toward building creative, data-based business solutions and can be replicated across various business sectors in the digital era.

Abstract

This study explores the evolution of Strategic Management and Meaningful Work (SDG-8) research through a bibliometric analysis of Scopus-indexed publications from 2015 to 2025. The aim is to map global trends, collaboration networks, and thematic clusters, thus enhancing understanding of how strategic management practices align with team member well-being and sustainable business models. Building on established literature in sustainable business, digital transformation, and ethical leadership, the research integrates human resource management and organisational behaviour theories. It examines how strategic management interacts with meaningful work, drawing on previous bibliometric and conceptual studies. A keyword-based search in the Scopus database identified 222 publications, refined to 110 English-language articles, conference papers, and reviews. VOSviewer software was used to construct co-occurrence networks and thematic maps across countries, organisations, authors, and keywords. The analysis reveals a significant increase in research output, with key hubs in the United States, Switzerland, Australia, and China. Influential institutions include MIT, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and Wageningen University. Emerging themes such as digital transformation and competitive advantage underscore the growing integration of strategic management with meaningful work. These findings highlight the necessity for enhanced international collaboration to advance sustainable business practices and promote team member well-being.

Abstract

In the digital era, protecting intellectual property rights (IPR) presents major challenges due to the vulnerabilities of centralized storage systems, which are susceptible to data breaches, manipulation, and unauthorized access. This study explores the adoption of the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) as a decentralized alternative for securing IPR, with a focus on user-centric factors that are often neglected in prior research. Specifically, the research examines how five key constructs security, transparency, persistence, ease of use, and cost efficiency influence adoption decisions among non-technical users. A quantitative method was employed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with data collected from 110 digital business students. The findings reveal that all five constructs significantly impact users’ willingness to adopt IPFS. This is supported by strong outer loading values (>0.70), high Average Variance Extracted (AVE >0.50), and high reliability scores (Cronbach’s alpha and composite reliability >0.70). These results validate the proposed adoption model and underscore the importance of behavioral and perceptual considerations in decentralized technology acceptance. Furthermore, the study highlights the relevance of integrating IPFS in academic and SME environments, aligning with Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 4, 9, and 16) by promoting secure, inclusive, and innovative digital infrastructure. Future studies are encouraged to include more diverse demographic groups and address regulatory and interoperability challenges to enhance scalability and adoption.
