Abstract

This study evaluates the role of business policy in sustaining competitive advantage within the manufacturing industry by examining three key strategic dimensions: Policy Design, Policy Implementation, and Innovation & Sustainability. Using a quantitative approach and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), the study collected data from 120 manufacturing employees and assessed the measurement and structural models through reliability testing, validity assessments, and bootstrapping procedures. The results indicate that all constructs demonstrated strong reliability and validity, with indicator loadings exceeding recommended thresholds and HTMT values confirming discriminant validity. Structural model analysis reveals that Policy Design, Policy Implementation, and Innovation & Sustainability each have significant positive effects on Sustained Competitive Advantage, collectively explaining 67.3% of its variance. These findings highlight the importance of strategic alignment, effective execution, and continuous innovation in building long-term competitiveness. The study contributes to strategic management literature by providing empirical evidence on how business policy frameworks and innovation-driven practices jointly enhance competitiveness in the manufacturing sector. Practical implications suggest that firms should prioritize coherent policy development, strengthen implementation mechanisms, and integrate sustainability into innovation strategies to achieve durable competitive advantage.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of entrepreneurial orientation, market sensing, and dynamic capabilities on competitive advantage in firms operating within dynamic and highly competitive industries. Using a quantitative research design, data were collected from managerial-level respondents through a structured Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results show that all three constructs significantly and positively affect competitive advantage, with dynamic capabilities demonstrating the strongest influence, followed by entrepreneurial orientation and market sensing. These findings indicate that competitive advantage stems not only from proactive and innovative strategic orientation but also from the firm’s ability to interpret market signals and continually reconfigure internal resources to adapt to environmental shifts. The study contributes to strategic management literature by highlighting the integrative role of entrepreneurial behavior, environmental intelligence, and organizational adaptability in shaping competitive outcomes. Practical implications suggest that managers should cultivate a balanced approach that enhances strategic posture, strengthens market-driven decision-making processes, and builds robust dynamic capabilities to sustain superior performance.

Abstract

Tourism areas have great potential in improving the regional economy, especially when integrated with the creative economy sector. The creative economy, which relies on ideas, creativity and innovation, plays an important role in tourism development, not only to increase tourist attraction but also to create sustainable economic opportunities for local communities. This research aims to explore the role of the creative economy sector in improving community welfare in tourism areas, with a focus on local creative products such as handicrafts, performing arts, culinary, and design. The creative economy can reduce dependence on the seasonal tourism sector and enrich the tourist experience, while creating business opportunities and improving the skills of local communities. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach in Indonesian tourism regions, such as Bali, Yogyakarta, and Labuan Bajo, which have great potential in this sector. Through interviews, focus group discussions, and observations, the research identified key challenges such as limited capital, market access, and adequate infrastructure. The findings of this study are expected to provide recommendations for the development of policies that support the creative economy sector, in order to create an inclusive and sustainable economy for local communities, and improve the competitiveness of tourism areas

Abstract

This study aims to determine the extent of influence of service quality and product price, both partially and simultaneously, on consumer repurchase intention at Lazatto Chicken & Burger, Pongtiku Branch, Makassar City. This study used a descriptive quantitative approach with a survey method by distributing questionnaires to 81 respondents. This study used non-probability sampling with an accidental sampling technique. Data analysis used classical assumption tests with normality tests, hypothesis tests with multiple linear regression, and coefficient of determination tests, using SPSS version 27.0 software. The results showed that service quality and product price had a positive and significant effect on repurchase intention, both partially and simultaneously. These findings confirm that improving service and pricing in line with customer perceptions of value are important factors in building consumer loyalty in the fast food restaurant sector. The R-squared value was 0.520, meaning that 52% of the variation in repurchase intention is explained by service quality and product price. The remaining 42% is explained by variables other than the two independent variables used in the study.

Abstract

Women's Economic Empowerment is crucial in supporting the Sustainable Development Goals. One aspect of women's economic empowerment that has been widely studied is women's involvement in entrepreneurial activities. Women have great potential to develop businesses. However, they often face barriers such as a lack of management education, access to capital, building business networks, and the persistence of community understanding that causes gender discrimination that women are not obliged to earn a living. This assumption can be an obstacle to the growth of the nation's economy. One of the efforts to overcome this is to educate the community on the importance of women's economic empowerment through Entrepreneurship Education. The purpose of entrepreneurship education for women is to encourage the national economy and improve family welfare. Economically empowered women can play a positive role in meeting personal needs, family and social activities.
