Abstract

In the hyper-competitive digital economy, the survival and growth of startups are intrinsically linked to their capacity for continuous innovation. While leadership is acknowledged as a critical driver of innovation, there is a limited understanding of how creative leadership specifically manifests and evolves over time within the volatile startup environment. This study aims to address this gap by longitudinally exploring the dynamics of creative leadership and its influence on innovation management processes within a digital startup. It seeks to identify the key leadership behaviors that foster a sustainable innovation culture and to understand how these behaviors adapt to the startup’s developmental stages. Employing a qualitative longitudinal case study approach, this research tracked a single digital startup over a three-year period. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with the founding team and employees, direct observation of team meetings, and an analysis of internal documents related to project development and strategic planning. Key practices identified include fostering psychological safety, championing nascent ideas, and strategically allocating resources for experimentation. These leadership practices directly correlated with the development of an agile and resilient innovation management system. The study concludes that effective creative leadership in digital startups is contingent on the leader’s ability to adapt their style to the organization’s evolving needs.

Abstract

The dynamics of globalization and market saturation force Private Islamic Religious Colleges (PTKIS) to redefine their marketing strategies to avoid being trapped in partial and secular conventional management. This study aims to analyze and construct a reconstruction of the marketing mix strategy (7P) based on Islamic values ​​in creating superior customer value at the newly established STAI MAS Tulungagung. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation studies, then analyzed interactively. The results show that STAI MAS successfully deconstructed the 7P elements by integrating the tradition of yellow book literacy (turats), the value of justice ('adl), environmental assurance (hifdzul bi'ah), honest promotion (shiddiq), the work culture of itqan-khidmah, the digital administration system (taisir-amanah), and Islamic aesthetics (nazhafah). This reconstruction has proven to create competitive advantages in the form of public trust and student pride. However, the institution still faces obstacles such as limited digital campaign budgets and public stereotypes about private campuses. Based on these findings, it is recommended that STAI MAS management undertake a more innovative digital transformation and structure integrated marketing communications (IMC) to minimize budget constraints, while optimizing strategic partnerships with Islamic boarding school alumni networks to strengthen the institution's brand equity in suburban areas.

Abstract

Education plays a crucial role in building the foundation of civilization and social welfare, requiring teachers to possess high professional competence to navigate the dynamics of learning in the digital era. This study aims to explore the implementation of artistic supervision as an innovative supervisory strategy to optimize learning, focusing on the development of collaborative relationships, pedagogical innovation, socio-emotional support, constructive feedback, and continuous professional development. The study employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following PRISMA guidelines, reviewing 17 articles from Scopus, Sinta, and Google Scholar published between 2020 and 2025. Qualitative synthesis analysis revealed that artistic supervision fosters harmonious relationships between supervisors and teachers, encourages creativity, and enhances teacher professionalism. Academic and clinical supervision contribute to evaluation, reflection, and constructive feedback supporting ongoing competency development, while the integration of technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and immersive learning enriches learning experiences by increasing personalization and interactivity. The findings confirm that implementing cross-approach supervision strategies can improve learning quality, teacher professionalism, and create an adaptive and inspiring educational environment.

Abstract

This qualitative study at SD Muhammadiyah Blitar examines the implementation of educational marketing management aimed at boosting prospective student interest amidst fierce inter-institutional competition, while also identifying the factors influencing this process. Through observation, interviews, and document analysis validated via source triangulation and analyzed interactively (encompassing data collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing) the study reveals that promotional strategies are executed both directly (via social media, banners, brochures, outreach to parents, and participation in competitions) and indirectly (through social initiatives such as Kartini Day charity drives and community service). The success of these efforts is underpinned by professional teacher qualifications, excellent service, affordable fees, and a distinctive religious program featuring the memorization of Juz 30 of the Quran. However, implementation remains hindered by limitations such as a lack of projectors in classrooms, a less-than-strategic school location, intense competition, and the absence of a dedicated team focused on marketing management.
