Abstract

Timber has long been a cornerstone of the global economy, serving as a key raw material in construction, furniture manufacturing, and paper production. However, the growing concerns over deforestation, climate change, and resource depletion have raised questions about the sustainability of timber production and its long-term impact on the environment. Understanding the role of timber in the global economy from a sustainable perspective is crucial for balancing economic development with environmental conservation. This study aims to explore the economic importance of timber in various industries and evaluate its role in sustainable development. It seeks to assess the current trends in timber production and consumption while identifying the challenges and opportunities for promoting sustainable practices in the timber industry. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data analysis of global timber trade statistics with qualitative case studies of sustainable forestry practices. Data from international trade reports, environmental NGOs, and industry surveys were analyzed to evaluate the economic contribution of timber and its environmental impact. The results reveal that timber remains a vital economic resource, contributing significantly to the global GDP, particularly in developing countries. However, unsustainable logging practices threaten forest ecosystems, which necessitates urgent policy interventions. The study highlights successful examples of sustainable forestry management and certification systems that can mitigate the negative environmental impacts of timber production. The findings suggest that while timber continues to be economically significant, sustainable forestry practices are essential for ensuring the long-term viability of the timber industry. Recommendations include strengthening international regulations, promoting sustainable forestry certification, and investing in forest restoration initiatives.

Abstract

The rise of creative-preneurship in the local coffee sector, exemplified in Indonesia, presents a critical managerial challenge: the transition from passion-driven ventures to scalable, profitable enterprises. Many founders fail to navigate this “passion-to-profit” transition, often due to a “founder-centric bottleneck.” This study aims to identify, analyze, and model the effective entrepreneurial management strategies that differentiate high-growth, creative-led coffee shops from low-growth or stagnant ventures. A convergent parallel mixed-methods design was employed, analyzing a purposive sample of 30 Indonesian coffee shops. This involved a comparative analysis of high-growth (N=15) and low-growth (N=15) ventures using quantitative financial and operational surveys and 45 in-depth, semi-structured interviews. Quantitative findings reveal a stark divergence: high-growth firms averaged 45.2% CAGR and 25.1% employee turnover, versus 6.1% CAGR and 78.4% turnover for low-growth firms. Qualitative analysis identified “Formalized Creative Systems” and “Decentralized Leadership” as key success strategies. Inferential analysis confirmed “Formalized Creative Systems” as the strongest predictor of successful scaling (\beta = 2.14, p < 0.01). Scaling a creative-preneurial venture is contingent upon the founder’s ability to systematize their creative vision. This research provides the Scalable Creative-preneurship Framework (SCF), an empirically-validated model for resolving the “art-commerce” paradox.

Abstract

Background. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on the global tourism industry, particularly in popular destinations like Bali, Indonesia. As the world begins to recover, tourism faces the challenge of adapting to a "new normal" that prioritizes sustainability, health protocols, and local community involvement. This mini-review explores best practices for sustainable tourism in Bali, focusing on how destinations can adapt post-pandemic while ensuring long-term environmental, social, and economic benefits. Purpose. The primary aim of this study is to assess the sustainability strategies implemented by Bali's tourism sector in the aftermath of the pandemic.   Method. A qualitative review was conducted, examining existing literature, government reports, and case studies of sustainable tourism practices in Bali. The review identifies key areas such as eco-tourism, community-based tourism, and the integration of health and safety standards into tourism operations. Results. The findings highlight that Bali has begun to implement a range of sustainable practices, including the promotion of eco-friendly accommodations, the development of responsible tourism guidelines, and the involvement of local communities in decision-making. However, challenges such as over-tourism, waste management, and the need for further collaboration among stakeholders remain. Conclusion. In conclusion, Bali’s tourism sector is taking positive steps toward sustainability post-pandemic, but continued efforts are required to ensure resilience and long-term success. Further research and investment in sustainable tourism infrastructure, coupled with local and global cooperation, will be crucial to the future of Bali as a "new normal" destination.
