Abstract

This research discusses intercultural public speaking ethics, which is a combination of public speaking ethics and intercultural communication ethics. The method used in this research is the library research method, in which researchers conduct research only on library collection materials related to intercultural public speaking ethics. The research results show that a public speaker is not only required to understand public speaking ethics but is also required to understand intercultural communication ethics so that public speakers can apply intercultural public speaking ethics. By applying intercultural public speaking ethics, public speaking with audiences of people from different cultural backgrounds can be effective. To apply intercultural public speaking ethics, public speakers must first learn the culture of their audience by first seeking information regarding what ethics are deemed permissible and not permissible. After studying the cultural ethics of the audience, the public speaker must enter that culture as if the public speaker is part of the members of that culture without leaving the public speaker's own cultural identity.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the business communication strategy of the Sragen Regency Government in building multi-sector collaboration for community economic empowerment as an effort to address extreme poverty. The research method used is a case study with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews with stakeholders, non-participatory observation on the implementation of the Village Completed Poverty program, and analysis of policy documents and program reports. Data analysis techniques use descriptive analysis to identify patterns of business communication strategies, while data validity is strengthened by triangulation from various sources. The results of the study indicate that the implemented business communication strategy is based on the principles of two-way communication, openness, and transparency carried out through formal forums and direct interactions with the community. Cross-sector collaboration involves regional apparatus organizations, village governments, the business world, the private sector through social responsibility programs, and philanthropic institutions with mutual cooperation support. The implementation of this strategy is able to strengthen the Village Completed Poverty program by providing business capital assistance, skills training, the provision of productive tools, and facilitation of education and basic infrastructure. The research findings show a significant decrease in the number of extremely poor families in the target villages and an increase in the economic independence of the beneficiary community. The conclusion of this study is that the success of economic empowerment and extreme poverty alleviation in Sragen Regency is very much determined by the optimization of business communication strategies that build trust, participation, and synergy between stakeholders.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the role of public speaking skills in enhancing corporate reputation through strategic business communication. This study uses a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach involving the identification, evaluation, and systematic analysis of 50 articles, where six selected articles are the main focus based on the relevance and completeness of the text. The results of the study indicate that effective public speaking skills can strengthen emotional connections with the audience, increase public trust, and strengthen corporate reputation. In addition, communication strategies through strong public speaking narratives significantly contribute to crisis management and building relationships with stakeholders. This study also found that public speaking combined with social responsibility (CSR) communication creates positive perceptions of the company, strengthens customer loyalty, and increases the value of the organization's reputation. The contribution of this study to academic discussions is to strengthen the argument that public speaking skills are a strategic element in corporate reputation management. These findings provide a new perspective on the integration between public speaking and corporate communication strategies, which have often been separated in related research. This study also highlights the importance of public speaking in building transparency, trust, and emotional connections with various stakeholders, both internal and external. Thus, this study offers practical guidance for organizations in managing reputation through effective communication, as well as providing important insights for academics and practitioners to develop public speaking-based communication models in the digital era. This study provides a strong foundation for the development of innovative and relevant business communication strategies in an increasingly competitive global landscape..

Abstract

The readiness of vocational high school (SMK) students to enter the workforce is not only determined by technical skills but is also strongly influenced by soft skills, particularly effective communication and communication ethics. Based on the identified needs at SMK Wijaya Kusuma Surakarta, it was found that most students had not yet developed optimal communication skills, either in expressing ideas or interacting professionally. This community service program aimed to improve students’ effective communication abilities and their understanding of ethical communication as preparation for entering the professional world. The implementation methods included socialization sessions, training in oral and written communication techniques, and mentoring in creating curriculum vitae and conducting job interview simulations. The results of the program showed significant improvements in students’ communication abilities, indicated by the increase in the ability to express opinions clearly from 41% to 82%, the use of polite and effective language from 47% to 88%, the ability to prepare professional curriculum vitae from 33% to 79%, self-confidence during interview simulations from 38% to 85%, and understanding of communication ethics from 52% to 90%. Students were also able to prepare curriculum vitae that met workplace standards and demonstrated greater confidence in professional interactions. This program had a positive impact on strengthening vocational students’ readiness to face professional challenges and fostering awareness of the importance of ethical communication as a fundamental asset in building healthy and productive workplace relationships.

Abstract

Thrifting in Indonesia is becoming increasingly popular, with young people leading the trend. The government’s ban on the sale and purchase of thrifted clothing does not prevent consumers from continuing to use thrifted clothing, as they consider these products are good and the prices are affordable. Therefore, thrifted clothing has become a lifestyle among young people, including students. This research uses a quantitative, survey-based approach. Primary data was obtained from questionnaires, while secondary data was obtained from journals, books, and other documents. The population of this study was the students of SMK Wijaya Kusuma Surakarta, and the sample consisted of 100 respondents from the school. This study used logistic regression (binary logit) to determine which students bought and which did not buy thrifted clothing. The results showed that, individually, word of mouth had a significant effect of 0.010, product quality was 0.047, price was 0.033, and lifestyle was 0.009. The simultaneous test was 0.000, with a chi-square of 67.101.
