Abstract

Bank BTPN has a unique program called Daya aiming to grow the business of its MSME customers by giving free regular and systematic business trainings. The question is how effective is the Daya program in improving the business of its MSME customers. The effectiveness is shown by comparing business performances of participating MSME customers with non-participating ones. The study had been undertaken in 12 BTPN working areas by surveying 545 numbers of participants and 111 numbers of non-participants. The results showed that the Daya program had a positive direct impact on MSMEs' business variables such as turnover, operational cost and customers' business growth index (CBGI), especially at the micro-enterprises category. Indirectly, the trainings also have a good impact on MSME's family and environment reflected by changes in household expenditure (family) and number of employees (environment). Finally, the Daya program's has improved the quality of business practices of participating MSMEs in the aspects of managing finance, marketing, sales, human resources, operations and soft-skills. Keywords: empowering MSMEs, business trainings, business variables, customers’ business growth index, micro-enterprises

Abstract

Background: Higher education institutions (HEIs) are increasingly expected to maintain meaningful long-term relationships with alumni. Customer Relationship Management (CRM), particularly when integrated with social media, has emerged as a key strategy for fostering alumni engagement, satisfaction, and contribution.Purpose: This study aims to identify the best-fit structural model that explains alumni contributions through CRM and social media interaction, while also investigating the role of social media as a moderator, mediator, or intervening variable in these relationships.Design/methodology/approach: The study employed Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to simulate twelve alternative models using data from 271 alumni of IPB University. These models varied in CRM structure, the inclusion of satisfaction, and the positioning of social media within the pathway.Findings/Result: Twelve structural CRM models were simulated to examine the effect of CRM and social media on alumni outcomes. Among them, Model 12 demonstrated the best fit, with strong explanatory power (R²), predictive relevance (Q²), and low prediction error (RMSE/MAE). The model reveals a sequential pathway: CRM → Customer Satisfaction → Customer Engagement → Customer Loyalty → Alumni Contributions. CRM also influences Social Media, which in turn enhances Satisfaction. All structural paths are statistically significant, indicating that both CRM and social media play a critical role in driving alumni contributions through a satisfaction-based relational process.Conclusion: CRM in higher education is most effective when treated as a socially constructed process mediated by digital interaction. Social media strengthens institutional trust and emotional connection, playing a critical role in converting alumni satisfaction into sustained loyalty and contribution. Universities should implement social CRM strategies by leveraging digital platforms, personalizing alumni communication, and supporting long-term engagement programs.Originality/value: This study contributes to CRM theory by applying social construction theory to alumni engagement and offering an empirically validated model of how social media enhances relational CRM in HEIs. The findings have practical implications for alumni management strategies in the digital era. Keywords: CRM, social media, alumni engagement, higher education, social construction theory

Abstract

Background: The palm oil industry strives to implement sustainable development, maintaining the environmental quality. However, the palm oil industry has problems processing liquid waste, often known as palm oil mill effluent (POME), since it could pollute the environment. This waste also requires a large costs to be processed. On the other hand, there is potential economic value from liquid waste to be processed into several products, namely biogas, organic fertilizer, and refining value-added compounds. Currently, POME waste processing innovation could be conducted by applying plasma nanobubble (PNB) technology. This creates opportunities for a business that is engaged in developing this technology.Purpose: The aim of this research is to analyse the business model of the Plasma Nano Bubble (PNB) technology development business for the palm oil industry. Design/methodology/approach: This research uses the Business Model Canvas (BMC) to map the business processes of the Plasma Nano Bubble (PNB) technology development.Findings/Result: This study indicate that the most prominent attribute exhibited by PNB technological enterprises is their value offer, which is demonstrated by their ability to deliver efficient processing time and cost effectiveness, resource efficiency, adherence to government regulations, and the establishment of strategic collaborations with external entities. Meanwhile, the weakest element is customer relations, as only long-term relationships, and the provision of intensive training for PNB technology resellers were found in this aspect. Several indicators were proposed to improve the business model of PNB's technology, namely key partnership, the key activity, value proposition, and customer relationship.Conclusion: This research gives an important contribution related to the environmental benefits of implementing this business. The continuous development for this technology needs to be implemented to process POME waste effectively and efficiently.Originality/value (State of the art): The state of the art of this research is the development of business models for environmentally friendly products in the palm oil sector, which is currently rarely conducted, in this case the study of PNB technology products.
