Survival of Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) is important in uncertainty and rapid advancement of digitalization nowadays, which leads to significant changes in the business environment. SMEs must be able to be resilient and face turbulence to survive and maintain business continuity. To support this resilience, digital leaders are required to help enterprises transform and lead them to a more promising future. Thus, SMEs have a digital mindset so that they can recognize and exploit opportunities, as well as overcome the challenges of surviving in an increasingly dynamic environment.

Abstract

In order to enhance the quality of goat's milk products and ensure their cleanliness and safety for consumption, it is imperative to standardize the product and enhance its quality through the implementation of pasteurization technology and the utilization of aseptic packaging. Moreover, this initiative aims to enhance the sustainable commercialization of Rokir Farm's dairy products. Products can generate financial gains for companies while providing individuals with high-quality dairy products. Additionally, these items can support government initiatives to ensure food security and address nutritional deficiencies. This activity entails a collaborative effort between universities and partners to address particular challenges partners encounter in product standardization. Other goat milk-producing farmer groups can utilize this activity as a model.

Abstract

The social media content creation workshop for health promotion involves non-commercial partners of Achmad Darwis Hospital, Limapuluh Kota Regency, West Sumatra. Along with the development of information technology and digitalization, partners are increasingly aware of the need to optimize social media management as a key element in building the image of the hospital and improving the quality of services to the community. However, existing human resources do not yet have specific expertise in creating effective content for social media. Therefore, it is necessary to hold a social media content creation workshop in order to improve the skills of the Achmad Darwis Hospital health promotion (Promkes) team. A total of 20 participants were involved in this activity. The activity was carried out in stages, starting with lectures, practice, and finally discussions. Quantitatively, an evaluation was carried out by conducting a written test on the material that had been given. The results showed that there was an increase in participants' knowledge in making videos by comparing the test results before and after training. The results obtained from this activity contribute to improving the ability of the Achmad Darwis Hospital Health Promotion team to create content for social media that can improve the image of the hospital and optimize services for the community. It is hoped that this activity can improve the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSA) of the Achmad Darwis Hospital health promotion team in developing content for social media. It is recommended for health promotion teams to continue to hone their skills in creating health content in order to optimize hospital services and performance.

Abstract

Innovation is the main key in achieving competitive advantage in business. Due to the dynamic business environment, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) must prioritize innovation to sustain their competitive advantage. This report offers a comprehensive perspective on how SMEs may effectively cope with any changes and sustain their competitive advantage through innovation. Therefore, explaining the main predictors of innovation in achieving competitive advantage in a dynamic environment is important to do. Through organizational information processing theory (OIPT), this study proposes environmental scanning as the main predictors in explaining innovative performance which in turn has an impact on competitive advantage. Data were collected from 245 SMEs in Indonesia from various industries. Testing the proposed hypothesis of the research was assessed with SEM by assisting Amos software. The results indicated that environmental scanning positively influence competitive advantage. Further the findings were also supported that innovative performance significantly mediates this relationship. This is a cross-sectional research study with a non-probability random sampling method, and self-report questionnaires, therefore possible bias may occur in the research findings. Implications of the research were also discussed in this paper.

Abstract

Standardizing marine tourism services is essential to ensure the quality and safety of visitors. With standardization, marine tourism service providers can ensure that all aspects of services, such as equipment, facilities, and human resources, meet the established criteria. This will increase visitor confidence and reduce the risk of accidents. In addition, standardization also helps improve the efficiency and effectiveness of services so that visitors can enjoy a better tourism experience. Standardization of marine tourism services also has a positive impact on the local economy and environment. With increasing service quality, tourists will be more likely to return and recommend the destination, thereby increasing local economic income. Therefore, we must implement and strictly monitor the standardization of marine tourism services to maintain the quality and sustainability of the marine environment. A standard operating procedure (SOP) document embodies the realization of service standardization. We prepared the SOP through a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with Soetan Island management. Four FGDs took place, leading to the creation of four SOP documents for Soetan Island's marine tourism services. This SOP document is a guide for Soetan Island Tourism Management in providing services to tourists, which support the realisation of decent work and service that leads to the economic growth.

Abstract

The West Sumatra - Riau toll road is expected to generate a favourable influence on the local economy, thereby enhancing the overall wellbeing of society. However, this progress does not eliminate some of the potential negative impacts, because the construction of toll roads will divert some of the public's transportation movements, thereby posing a threat to business activities along the diverted transportation routes. To anticipate these potential impacts, it is important to conduct a study that focuses on anticipating the potential socio-economic impacts of the construction of the West Sumatra – Riau toll road. A Focus Group Discussion was conducted with delegates from several Payakumbuh Municipal Government. A total of nineteen participants, comprising ten males and nine females, participated in the focus group discussion. The discussion remarks were methodically categorised and analysed. The study findings elucidate many potential ramifications of the construction of the West Sumatra - Riau toll road on Payakumbuh City, as well as proposed measures that might be implemented to mitigate these ramifications. The research findings can serve as a foundation for developing a regional development strategy for Payakumbuh City. The objective is to optimise the effects of toll road construction on the social and economic well-being of the community, ensuring equitable and balanced outcomes.

Abstract

This community service activity aims to support the development of digital-based tourism on Soetan Island, Pesisir Selatan Regency, by integrating tourism operators into an Android application. The application is designed as a transaction platform for booking tour packages offered by local operators, covering key destinations in the Mandeh Island area, particularly Soetan Island. Tourists can easily select and book various available tour packages, thereby expanding access and enhancing the region's tourism appeal. To support the implementation of this technology, a series of outreach and awareness-raising activities were conducted in stages with tourism operators. These activities aimed to provide a deeper understanding of the importance of digital information technology in managing and promoting tourism businesses. The methods used included a participatory approach through training, focus group discussions (FGDs), and direct technical assistance in using the application. The results of this activity were the development of an Android-based Soetan Island tourism application accessible to tourists, as well as increased understanding and readiness of local business operators to utilize digital technology as a strategic tool in tourism business development. This activity is expected to be the first step towards an inclusive and sustainable digital tourism ecosystem in the coastal areas of West Sumatra model.
