Abstract

Germany has long been recognized as one of the world's strong and innovative economies. Germany's economic success is not only supported by a strong industrial sector, but also by an effective economic strategy. However, like any other country, Germany also faces various challenges in maintaining its economic growth and sustainability. The purpose of this study is to analyze the strategies that have been implemented by the German government and companies in the face of current economic challenges. The method used in this journal is descriptive qualitative research. Descriptive qualitative research aims to gain a deep understanding of the phenomenon under study and describe it in detail. This method allows the author to collect more detailed data and understand the context behind Germany's economic problems.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to provide an objective overview in buyer-supplier relationship in manufacturing industries to enhance competitiveness in the context of service quality, business ethics, and relational governance. A systematic literature review was conducted using the PRISMA model and 53 papers were selected after had been screened. The results showed that: 1) research’s objects encompass various types of manufacturing industries, such as pulp & paper, chemical, mining, automotive, SMEs, and diverse organizations which came from 22 countries, whereas China, European countries, and African countries are likely paid intensive intension regarding the three dimensions of research’s objects. The methods used in existing studies mostly focused on factor analysis, qualitative/descriptive, and system dynamic. However, soft system was the least commonly utilized in buyer-supplier relationship in context of industries’ competitiveness, 2) Service quality positively affects customers’ satisfaction, trust, customer and brand loyalty, and it is also a strong mediator to green logistics performance. Customers’ perceptions on service quality and brand can take precedence over traditional competitive advantages due to increased level of competition and customers’ changing expectations. Adopting ethics as a policy could be an advantage for business to stay competitive. Furthermore, relational governance requires trust and information sharing so that building a trustworthy buyer-supplier relationship is critical for successful supply chain management, 3) Paper industry is still considered a research trend, therefore focusing in integrating both soft and hard systems approach for strategy development is the most appropriate in order to improve its’ competitiveness as the basis for upcoming research. Keywords: business ethics, competitiveness, relational governance, service quality, buyer-supplier relationship

Abstract

Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises are one of the business actors in Indonesia that have considerable potential in supporting the national economy. Business incubators are one of the parties that can play a role in assisting the growth and development of micro, small and medium enterprises, but in practice business incubators face various limitations related to human resources, capital, facilities, coaching, technology, market potential and regulations. The influence of these limitations has an impact on the performance of mentoring or coaching, so it is necessary for business incubators to develop their mentoring programmes to be able to provide assistance in accordance with the needs needed by the current fostered tenants, so as to improve the business performance. This research aims to formulate an appropriate development strategy for the IPB Business Incubator by analysing the internal and external environment of the incubator. The method in this research uses the analysis of Internal Factor Evaluation (IFE), External Factor Evaluation (EFE), SWOT analysis (Strengths-Weaknesses-Opportunities-Threats), and using Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM). The results showed that three strategies were recommended for the development of IPB's Business Incubator, namely developing an online marketing platform that can help market tenant products online, developing incubation programmes that can improve tenant competitiveness, and building cooperation with many parties both nationally and internationally. Keywords: business incubator, IFE matrix, EFE matrix, SWOT analysis, QSPM analysis

Abstract

The escalating global energy demand and the depletion of fossil fuel reserves have accelerated the pursuit of sustainable bioenergy alternatives. Bioethanol is widely recognized as a promising candidate; however, its production continues to depend predominantly on food-based substrates such as cassava and molasses, thereby exacerbating food vs fuel dilemmas. Consequently, lignocellulosic biomass has emerged as a viable alternative owing to its abundance and non-food nature. Among potential resources, bamboo shoots constitute a particularly strategic feedstock, characterized by high cellulose (33–45%) and hemicellulose (23–30%) contents, coupled with an exceptionally low lignin fraction (0.89%), which minimizes the requirement for energy- and cost-intensive pretreatment. Their rapid growth further reinforces their suitability as a renewable and underexploited biomass source. The present study undertakes a systematic literature review to assess the potential of bamboo shoots for bioethanol production via Simultaneous Saccharification and Co-Fermentation (SSCF). Specifically, it seeks to: (i) elucidate global research trends in SSCF through bibliometric analysis, (ii) identify knowledge gaps concerning the utilization of bamboo shoots, and (iii) propose future research directions to enhance SSCF efficiency. Bibliometric analysis conducted with VOSviewer, encompassing publications from 2006 to 2025, reveals growing scholarly focus on SSCF, particularly in relation to fermentation, enzymatic hydrolysis, and lignocellulosic feedstocks. Notably, the complete absence of “bamboo shoot” as a keyword across the dataset signifies a critical research gap. This gap underscores the necessity for rigorous experimental investigations and the development of predictive simulation models employing bamboo shoots in SSCF, with the aim of optimizing ethanol yields, elucidating key process dynamics, and advancing sustainable bioethanol production. Keywords: bamboo shoot, bioethanol, simulation, simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation (SSCF)
