Abstract

Integrating Sustainable Development Goals into Coffee Shop Operations: Insights from Kedai Kosim, Indonesia The integration of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into small business operations remains a significant challenge, particularly for coffee shop entrepreneurs in developing countries like Indonesia. This study aims to explore how SDGs, specifically SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), are integrated into the operations of Kedai Kosim, a coffee shop in Tulungagung, Indonesia. Using a qualitative autoethnographic approach, the researcher immersed themselves in the business’s operations to analyze sustainability practices. The findings reveal that Kedai Kosim successfully incorporates sustainability into its daily operations by reducing waste, implementing energy-efficient technologies, and fostering local economic growth through fair trade practices. Despite initial challenges, such as high upfront costs for sustainable technologies, the business benefits from enhanced customer loyalty and long-term cost savings. The study highlights the potential for small businesses to contribute to sustainable development, offering practical insights for other coffee entrepreneurs and policymakers. Future research should explore the quantitative impacts of SDG integration and investigate the role of technology in supporting sustainable practices.

Abstract

In the digital age, electronic word-of-mouth (e-WOM) has emerged as a pivotal factor influencing green consumer behavior and repurchase intentions. However, the role of e-WOM in shaping sustainable purchase decisions remains underexplored, especially in the context of the green brands. This study aims to explore how e-WOM impacts consumer perceptions of green brands and the factors that drive sustainable purchasing decisions. Using an autoethnographic approach, the research reflects on personal experiences with e-WOM and examines its influence on green consumer behavior. The findings reveal that e-WOM not only provides valuable information but also fosters emotional engagement, trust, and social influence, which play a significant role in driving both initial purchases and long-term repurchase intentions. This study highlights the need for businesses to incorporate authentic e-WOM strategies into their green marketing efforts, focusing on transparency and consumer trust. The results offer practical insights for marketers seeking to leverage digital platforms in promoting sustainable products while also contributing to the broader theoretical understanding of sustainable consumer behavior. Future research could explore the long-term impact of e-WOM and examine its role across diverse cultural contexts.

Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to examine the integration of Sharia values in human resource character building within Islamic banking institutions. The research highlights the importance of developing Islamic character-based human capital as a strategic foundation for achieving sustainable competitiveness in the Islamic banking industry. The study is motivated by the increasing need to align human resource strategies with Sharia principles to ensure both compliance and differentiation in the financial sector. Methods – The research uses a qualitative approach using a literature review of academic articles, reports, and policy documents published in the last decade. Content analysis was conducted to identify recurring themes, conceptual frameworks, and strategic implications of Sharia-based human capital development. Findings – The study reveals that Islamic character building, rooted in Sharia values such as Shiddiq, Amanah, Tabligh, and Fathanah, has a significant contribution to the development of trustworthy, competent, and value-driven employees. These values foster customer trust, strengthen organizational culture, and enhance the competitive advantage of Islamic banks. However, challenges remain in terms of practical implementation, organizational commitment, and balancing technical competencies with ethical-spiritual development. Research Limitations – As a literature-based study, the findings are conceptual and may not fully capture empirical variations across different Islamic banking institutions. Future research should include case studies or empirical validation to test the applicability of the proposed framework in diverse contexts. Value – This study contributes to the field of Applied Islamic Finance by providing a conceptual framework that links Sharia-based human capital development with sustainable competitiveness in Islamic banking. It highlights the strategic role of Islamic character building as a differentiating factor that cannot be easily replicated by conventional banks.

Abstract

The phenomenon of declining social concern among the younger generation highlights the growing importance of instilling character education based on religious values from an early age. One form of implementing these values is the daily infaq movement carried out in elementary schools. This study was conducted at SDN Kepanjenkidul 1, Blitar City, which regularly organizes an infaq program every Friday along with a daily savings activity managed by classroom teachers. The program functions not only as a social activity but also as an educational medium for Islamic philanthropy that is relevant to students’ character formation. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach. The subjects consisted of 70 students (34 boys and 36 girls) and 8 teachers. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using the interactive analysis model of Miles & Huberman, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing.The findings indicate that the daily infaq activity generates an average fund of IDR 24,000–30,000 per week, managed simply yet transparently by the classroom teachers. Moreover, the daily savings program contributes to training students in personal financial management and promoting a thrifty lifestyle. Teachers perceive this activity as effective in developing caring attitudes, a spirit of sharing, and a sense of togetherness among students.Thus, the implementation of the daily infaq movement at SDN Kepanjenkidul 1, Blitar City, has proven to be not only socially beneficial but also educationally significant. This program successfully internalizes religious, social, economic, and character values simultaneously, making it a potential model for Islamic philanthropic education in elementary schools

Abstract

This study examines the growing phenomenon of compensatory consumption within Indonesia’s rapidly expanding urban coffee culture, where consumers increasingly use café experiences to cope with emotional pressures, social expectations, and identity negotiations in modern city life. The research aims to explore the emotional, social, and symbolic motives driving coffee shop visits and how these motives shape consumption behaviors. Using a qualitative exploratory design, data were collected through in-depth interviews and participant observation across several urban specialty coffee shops in Indonesia. The findings reveal that consumers use coffee consumption as a mechanism for stress relief, social bonding, self-expression, and identity construction, positioning cafés as symbolic spaces that offer psychological compensation beyond functional product value. The study contributes to the existing literature by extending compensatory consumption theory to a Southeast Asian context and offers practical implications for coffee entrepreneurs in designing emotionally resonant and identity-centered customer experiences.

Abstract

Sustainability Business Strategy in the Era of VUCA: Dynamic Capability Perspective. The increasing uncertainty and complexity in the business environment, often described as the VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) era, pose significant challenges for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in sustaining their competitive advantage. While sustainability-driven business strategies have been widely acknowledged as a means to enhance long-term resilience, the role of dynamic capabilities in enabling SMEs to navigate sustainability challenges remains underexplored. This study aims to investigate how SMEs develop sustainable business strategies through dynamic capability mechanisms (sensing, seizing, and transforming), using Kedai Kosim, Indonesia, as a case study. Employing a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews and document analysis, this research reveals that strategic agility, stakeholder collaboration, and digital transformation are key enablers of sustainability in resource-constrained firms. The findings extend the dynamic capability theory by contextualizing it within SME sustainability strategies and offer practical insights for business practitioners and policymakers. The study suggests that SMEs can achieve sustainability by embedding it into core business models, leveraging technology, and fostering ecosystem partnerships. This research contributes to the ongoing discourse on sustainability and strategic agility in SMEs, highlighting the need for further empirical exploration across different industries and cultural contexts.

Abstract

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating in resource-constrained environments often struggle to remain adaptive amid volatility, prompting the need for innovation approaches that enable agility despite structural limitations. This study examines how frugal innovation functions as a strategic driver of agility in SMEs, moving beyond its conventional framing as a cost-saving tactic. Using a qualitative research design involving semi-structured interviews, non-participant observations, and document analysis across selected SMEs, the study investigates the mechanisms that connect frugal innovation with strategic agility. The findings reveal three core mechanisms—strategic improvisation, resource recombination, and ecosystem engagement—that collectively enhance SMEs’ capacity to sense opportunities, respond swiftly, and reconfigure organizational processes. These mechanisms demonstrate that constraints can act as catalysts for adaptive capability rather than barriers to innovation. The study contributes to the theoretical integration of frugal innovation and strategic agility while offering practical insights for SME leaders, policymakers, and development institutions seeking to strengthen resilience and competitiveness. Broader implications highlight the role of frugal–agile practices in promoting inclusive and sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystems.

Abstract

Sustainable service delivery has become increasingly critical for small coffee enterprises, yet the role of sustainability-oriented training in shaping product quality remains empirically underexplored. This study examines how Sustainable Barista Training influences beverage quality, operational performance, and sustainability behavior at Kedai Kosim, Indonesia. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, non-participant observations, and document review to capture the integration of sustainability principles into barista competencies and daily workflows. The findings reveal that sustainability-focused training enhances technical consistency, strengthens environmental awareness, and cultivates mindful resource use in coffee preparation processes. These improvements elevate key dimensions of service quality, including reliability, assurance, and responsiveness, while embedding sustainable practices into routine operations. The study contributes to the service management and sustainable hospitality literature by positioning sustainability competencies as a critical yet underrecognized driver of product quality in micro-scale coffee businesses. Practical implications highlight the importance of structured, experiential training to improve beverage consistency, reduce operational waste, and support SDG-oriented coffee shop management. Future research should explore multi-case comparisons and longitudinal assessments to evaluate the durability and scalability of sustainability-driven training models
