Abstract

Islamic Studies programs in Indonesian higher education have traditionally been rooted in classical, discipline-specific methodologies, which face challenges in addressing complex contemporary issues. This study aimed to identify and analyze the primary challenges and emerging opportunities for integrating interdisciplinary approaches within this field. A qualitative, multi-site case study methodology was employed, focusing on leading Islamic universities in Indonesia. Data were collected through curriculum analysis, policy document review, and in-depth interviews with faculty, academic leaders, and students. The results indicate that significant challenges persist, including institutional rigidity, disciplinary silos, and a faculty trained in mono-disciplinary traditions. However, substantial opportunities are emerging, driven by new government accreditation standards that favor interdisciplinarity and growing student demand for programs that connect Islamic sciences with social sciences, technology, and humanities. The study concludes that while structural and paradigmatic hurdles are significant, the push for interdisciplinary approaches presents a critical opportunity to revitalize Islamic Studies, enhancing its relevance and intellectual contribution to addressing modern societal challenges.

Abstract

The rapid growth of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia has highlighted the need for an innovation management model tailored to their unique characteristics. Despite their economic importance, Indonesian MSMEs face challenges in managing innovation due to limited resources, technological constraints, and lack of formal structures. This study aims to develop an innovation management model specifically designed to meet the needs and conditions of Indonesian MSMEs. The research adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative interviews with MSME owners and managers, and quantitative surveys to gather data on innovation practices and challenges. A conceptual framework is then developed based on the data collected, incorporating best practices in innovation management tailored to the Indonesian context. The findings reveal that a flexible, resource-conscious approach to innovation management is essential for MSMEs, with an emphasis on collaborative networks, low-cost innovation strategies, and adaptive leadership. The proposed model is designed to facilitate innovation by overcoming resource limitations and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. In conclusion, the research contributes to the development of a contextualized innovation management model for Indonesian MSMEs, offering a practical framework for enhancing their competitiveness in a dynamic market.
