Abstract

This research aims to analyze the impact of employee productivity and operational costs on income growth at PT. Intan National Iron Industry Medan. The study uses multiple linear regression methods with a sample of annual financial reports from the past six years, which have been approved by the company leadership. The motivation for this research stems from fluctuations in income over the years, particularly during the pandemic, where a drastic decline was observed. The income generated was insufficient to cover operational costs, leading to unmet income targets and a lack of management incentives, or even company losses. The results of the study indicate that employee productivity has a positive and significant effect on income, with a T-value of 7.079 (T-value 7.079 > T-table 2.015) and a significance level of 0.000 < 0.05, meaning that Ha is accepted and H0 is rejected. Operational costs also have a significant impact on income, with a T-value of 3.976 (T-value 3.976 > T-table 2.015) and a significance level of 0.000 < 0.05, again leading to the acceptance of Ha and rejection of H0. Furthermore, the combined effect of productivity and operational costs yields an F-value of 34.852 > 4.74 with a significance level of 0.000 < 0.05. These findings demonstrate that both employee productivity and operational costs positively and significantly influence income growth at PT. Intan National Iron Industry Medan.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the feasibility of investment in the development of medicinal plant businesses in Asahan Regency as an effort to diversify the economy. The method used is quantitative research with a descriptive approach, including SWOT analysis to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, and PESTEL analysis to evaluate external factors that affect the business. In addition, a capital budgeting analysis was carried out using NPV (Net Present Value), PI (Profitability Index), and PP (Payback Period) to determine the feasibility of investment. The results of the SWOT analysis show that Asahan Regency has high natural resource potential and government support, although there are challenges such as limited human resource quality and infrastructure. PESTEL analysis reveals that political stability and positive economic growth support the development of the medicinal plant sector, while environmental risks and policy changes need to be watched out for. The NPV calculation produces a value of around IDR 11,636,364, indicating that this project is profitable at a 10% discount rate. The Profitability Index of 2.5 indicates investment feasibility, and the Payback Period of around 0.67 years (8 months) indicates a short time to reach breakeven. The conclusion of this study is that Asahan Regency is a suitable location for cultivating medicinal plants. Increasing human resource capacity and infrastructure development are essential to maximize investment potential in this sector. This study provides recommendations for stakeholders to improve training for farmers.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the development strategy of rice commodity agribusiness in improving food security and driving national economic growth in South Labuhanbatu Regency. This research is motivated by the still suboptimal management of rice agribusiness, which is characterized by production fluctuations, limited technology adoption, and the weak bargaining position of farmers in the distribution chain. The study used a mixed method approach involving 17 respondents consisting of farmers, distributors, middlemen, and absorption partners. Data collection was conducted through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. Data analysis used SWOT analysis, BCG Matrix, SPACE Matrix, and QSPM. The results show that rice agribusiness in South Labuhanbatu Regency is in the Strength–Opportunity position, Star quadrant, and aggressive strategy, which indicates high growth opportunities. The QSPM results indicate that strengthening partnerships between farmers and absorption partners is a priority strategy with the highest appeal. The novelty of this study lies in the integration of four strategic analysis tools in the context of a regional economy based on food security. The research findings provide policy implications that rice agribusiness development needs to be directed at upstream-downstream integration, strengthening farmer institutions, and price stabilization to support food security and national economic growth.
