Abstract

The evolution of ethics in sales practices has become an important subject in the increasingly complex and globally connected context of modern business. This research aims to analyze the development of ethics in sales from a historical perspective to future strategies. Through a literature study approach, this analysis identifies a significant shift from sales practices that focus solely on profits towards more ethical and sustainable practices. The first subchapter explains the evolution from the aggressive and less ethical sales practices of the past to the more transparent and responsible approach of today. The second subchapter highlights trends in modern sales ethics, including the increasing use of technology to increase transparency and personalization in company-consumer relationships. The third subchapter explores the implications of technology, especially artificial intelligence and data analysis, in improving a company's operational efficiency while maintaining high ethical values. The fourth subchapter formulates strategies for the future, including the development of a strict code of ethics, responsible technology implementation, and commitment to corporate social responsibility and sustainability. The conclusions of this research confirm that companies must adopt a holistic approach to ethics in sales to build a strong reputation and sustainable relationships with consumers and society. By integrating ethical values into their business strategies, companies can position themselves to better face future challenges while strengthening competitiveness in an increasingly complex global marketplace.

Abstract

Entrepreneurship education in Indonesia is experiencing rapid development with the aim of fostering an entrepreneurial mindset among pupils and students. However, various significant challenges still hamper the effective implementation of entrepreneurship curricula in educational institutions. These challenges include limited financial resources and competent teaching staff, lack of synchronization between the curriculum and industry needs, the influence of local cultural values that do not support innovation and independence, and lack of access to technology and innovation. To overcome these challenges, a holistic approach is needed that involves various parties, including government, educational institutions, the industrial sector and communities. Strategic efforts to overcome resource limitations include adequate budget allocation and intensive training for teaching staff. Close collaboration with the industrial sector is also vital to ensure the curriculum is relevant and provides the practical experience required by students. Additionally, entrepreneurship programs should be designed to respect and utilize local cultural values while integrating modern entrepreneurial principles. Investments in technology infrastructure and technology training programs are also needed to increase access to innovation. Evaluation and measurement of the success of entrepreneurship programs must be carried out in a structured and ongoing manner to ensure the program is effective. By implementing these strategies, it is hoped that educational institutions in Indonesia can be more effective in cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset, so that pupils and students are ready to face challenges and take advantage of opportunities in the business world. Effective entrepreneurship education will contribute significantly to economic growth and increase the welfare of Indonesian society, as well as producing a generation of entrepreneurs who are innovative and competitive at the global level.

Abstract

This research aims to evaluate the influence of main financial indicators - net profit, debt to equity ratio (DER), revenue, and operational cash flow - on company financial performance as measured by Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE). Using a multiple linear regression model, data from 50 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) during the 2015-2020 period was analyzed to identify the relationship between these independent variables and financial performance. The research results show that net profit, revenue and operational cash flow have a significant positive influence on the company's financial performance, while DER has a significant negative influence. The Adjusted R² values for the ROA and ROE models are 0.642 and 0.613 respectively, indicating that this model is able to explain around 64.2% and 61.3% of the variation in the company's financial performance. The F-Statistic which is significant at the 1% level indicates that the independent variables together have a significant effect on financial performance. These findings emphasize the importance of effective management of net profit, revenue and operational cash flow in an effort to improve the company's financial performance. On the other hand, companies need to be careful in using debt to maintain financial stability. Based on these results, companies are advised to improve operational efficiency, marketing strategies and cash flow management, as well as control the use of debt to maximize financial performance. Further research is recommended to consider the influence of external factors and other variables not included in this model, in order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the factors that influence a company's financial performance.

Abstract

This research analyzes the interaction between informational and relational influences in investor behavior in choosing equity crowdfunding. This approach includes in-depth literature studies from various relevant sources such as scientific journals, books and research reports. Informational influence involves analyzing market data and financial information to evaluate a fund's performance and investment potential, while relational influence creates a subjective dimension in investment decision making, including trust, comfort, and loyalty. Research shows that a good relational relationship between investors and fund managers plays an important role in establishing investors' trust and comfort in choosing equity crowdfunding. Investors tend to trust fund managers they know and trust, even if market information shows signs to the contrary. Additionally, strong relationships also allow investors to gain easier access to relevant and useful information about the equity funds they are considering. However, the interaction between informational and relational influences is not always positive, as too strong a relationship can cloud an investor's objective assessment of a fund's performance or potential investment risk. Therefore, it is important for investors to strike the right balance between informational and relational influences in long-term investment decision making in equity crowdfunding. By paying attention to these aspects, investors can make more informed and sustainable investment decisions, which are in line with their long-term investment goals.

Abstract

Green innovation in Indonesia's agricultural sector offers great potential to increase productivity, environmental sustainability and farmer welfare. Informal controls, which include social norms, community networks, and the role of community leaders, play an important role in facilitating the adoption of green innovations among farmers. Social norms and values dominant in agricultural communities can influence farmers' decisions regarding the use of green technology. Community networks provide an important channel for information exchange and social support, while the role of community leaders can provide moral encouragement and inspiration for farmers to adopt green innovations. However, to increase the effectiveness of informal controls in supporting the adoption of green innovation, strong support from government, the private sector and community institutions is needed. The government can create a policy framework that supports the adoption of green innovation through clear regulations, fiscal incentives and subsidy programs. The private sector can play a role in developing innovative solutions and providing access to green technologies for farmers. Meanwhile, community institutions can provide social support, training, and advocacy to strengthen informal control within agricultural communities. With good cooperation between various stakeholders, we can create a conducive environment for the adoption of green technology in the agricultural sector, which will ultimately provide significant benefits for food security, environmental sustainability and the welfare of farmers in Indonesia.

Abstract

Earnings management has been a focal point in corporate finance and accounting due to its potential to distort financial reporting and mislead stakeholders. This study examines the relationship between earnings management practices and corporate governance structures. The aim is to explore how corporate governance mechanisms, such as board composition, ownership structure, and audit quality, influence the likelihood and extent of earnings management. Using a mixed-method approach combining quantitative data analysis and qualitative case studies, the study investigates firms listed in emerging markets over a five-year period. Results reveal that strong corporate governance structures significantly mitigate earnings management practices. However, variations are observed across industries, suggesting the interplay of sector-specific dynamics. These findings underline the critical role of robust governance frameworks in promoting financial transparency and accountability. Keywords: Earnings Management, Corporate Governance, Financial Reporting, Audit Quality Background Earnings management, the deliberate manipulation of financial statements to achieve specific financial results, remains a pervasive issue globally. Despite the adoption of international accounting standards, earnings management practices are often employed to meet market expectations or contractual obligations. On the other hand, corporate governance structures are designed to ensure the accountability of management to shareholders and other stakeholders, thereby curbing unethical financial practices. The relationship between these two elements has been widely debated in academic and professional circles. This study builds on existing literature by examining the role of various governance mechanisms, including board independence, ownership structure, and audit quality, in curbing earnings management in firms operating within emerging markets. Aims This research aims to: Analyze the extent to which corporate governance mechanisms influence earnings management practices. Identify the most effective governance structures in minimizing earnings manipulation. Offer insights into industry-specific dynamics affecting the governance-earnings management relationship.   Research Method This study employs a mixed-method research approach: Quantitative Analysis: A longitudinal dataset of 500 firms from emerging markets over five years (2017–2022) is analyzed using regression models to assess the impact of corporate governance variables on earnings management. Qualitative Case Studies: In-depth interviews with board members and auditors from 15 selected firms complement the quantitative findings, offering nuanced perspectives on governance practices. Results and Conclusion The analysis highlights that: Board Independence: Firms with higher proportions of independent directors are less likely to engage in earnings management. Ownership Concentration: Companies with dispersed ownership exhibit higher levels of earnings manipulation compared to those with concentrated ownership. Audit Quality: The presence of Big Four auditors significantly reduces earnings management practices. These findings emphasize the importance of holistic corporate governance frameworks tailored to the unique challenges of emerging markets. Contribution This study contributes to the body of knowledge by providing empirical evidence on the governance-earnings management nexus in emerging markets. It underscores the importance of regulatory reforms and best practices to strengthen corporate governance and enhance financial reporting integrity.
