Abstract

The contemporary international trading system is dominated by the liberalism paradigm, which emphasizes free trade, deregulation, and the accumulation of material profit. However, this system is often criticized for fueling economic inequality and neglecting moral considerations. This study aims to conduct a comparative analysis of the principles of ethical trade in Islamic Economics with the concept of international trade from the perspective of Liberal International Relations. Using a descriptive qualitative method with a literature review approach, this study examines the key literature from both paradigms to identify points of convergence and divergence. The findings reveal similarities between the two concepts in terms of promoting cross-border cooperation, market openness, and rejecting extreme protectionism for the sake of the common good. Nevertheless, a fundamental difference lies in their epistemological foundations. Trade under Liberalism is anthropocentric, oriented towards individual freedom and maximum material gain. Conversely, Islamic ethical trade is theocentric in nature, linking economic activity to moral boundaries, social justice, mutual consent, and the prohibition of exploitative practices. This study concludes that the concept of Islamic ethical trade can serve as a moral corrective to the shortcomings of the liberal free-trade system, with a view to realizing a more just global economic order.

Abstract

Digital transformation has become a global phenomenon that compels Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to adapt in order to remain competitive. However, field evidence suggests that digitalization does not necessarily enhance competitiveness unless accompanied by strengthened human resource (HR) capabilities. This study aims to analyze the effects of digitalization and HR management on MSME competitiveness using a quantitative method and Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) with 59 MSME respondents. The analysis reveals that HR management has a significant effect on competitiveness, with a t-statistic of 6.985 and a p-value of 0.000. Conversely, digitalization shows no significant influence, with a t-statistic of 0.816 and a p-value of 0.415. These findings affirm that MSME competitiveness is largely driven by internal factors such as HR training, leadership, and a productive work culture. Meanwhile, digitalization will only yield optimal outcomes when supported by skilled human resources and well-directed organizational strategies. This research contributes to the strategic understanding of strengthening MSME competitiveness and serves as a reference for HR-based MSME development policies.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis proses pengelolaan operasional dan strategi ketahanan usaha Toko Minyo Sport Gorontalo dalam menghadapi fluktuasi pasar dan persaingan yang meningkat. Metodologi: Pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif digunakan dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara semi-terstruktur, observasi langsung, dan dokumentasi. Informan kunci adalah pemilik sekaligus pengelola (owner-operator), yang dipilih melalui purposive sampling. Keabsahan data dijamin melalui triangulasi dan perpanjangan pengamatan. Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa strategi operasional toko sangat bergantung pada komitmen kedisiplinan harian pemilik, strategi kepemimpinan biaya melalui harga yang terjangkau, dan transisi bertahap menuju pembayaran digital (QRIS). Ketahanan usaha terjaga melalui redundansi sumber daya (multipemasok), diversitas produk (adaptasi tren olahraga lari), serta keterikatan sosial (embeddedness) dengan komunitas lokal. Kesimpulan: Meskipun menghadapi tantangan dari kompetitor besar dan sistem manajemen manual, integrasi pelayanan personal, daya saing harga, dan modal sosial memberikan kerangka yang kokoh untuk keberlanjutan. Penelitian merekomendasikan integrasi digital bertahap untuk mentransformasi kelemahan administratif menjadi kekuatan strategis.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the extent to which community empowerment programs increase the income of low-income families in Bangio Village and to identify the challenges encountered in implementing these programs. This research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation with informants in this study, including the Village Head, BUMDes Director, BUMDes Secretary, and the community. The research results show that 1. community empowerment programs have great potential to significantly increase the incomes of low-income families, mainly when supported by strong integration among various social and economic interventions and by continuous government and local community support. This integration includes cross-sector collaboration to ensure that social assistance, skills training, and access to financial and social services are synchronized and appropriately targeted to the needs of the village community. 2. The main challenges in implementing community empowerment programs in Bangio village include several key aspects—first, the limitation of human resources. Many residents still rely on external parties due to a lack of skills in project management and technology use, which risks the program not operating optimally and becoming unsustainable.
