Abstract

The era of disruption challenges the relevance of conventional strategic management theories built on assumptions of stability, predictability, and structural rationality. This study aims to identify and examine the philosophical assumptions—ontology, epistemology, and axiology—underlying mainstream strategic theories, as well as evaluate their limitations in responding to the dynamics of the VUCA world. Using a critical conceptual review and philosophical inquiry approach, this study deconstructs the foundational frameworks of theories such as Porter and Mintzberg and proposes an alternative epistemology based on pragmatism (Dewey & Rorty). The findings reveal that the absence of explicit philosophical foundations leads to theoretical fragmentation and weakens the theories' ability to adapt. As a contribution, this study offers a new, more flexible, and contextual framework to address today's disruptive challenges. Its implications include the redesign of strategic theory and recommendations for more reflective and ethical organizational policies.

Abstract

In the face of global uncertainty and increasingly complex business dynamics, innovation, sustainability and transformative leadership are three key pillars that are indispensable in the development of future management theory. This research aims to explore the integration of these three elements in management theory, as well as to identify gaps in the existing literature related to this topic. The main question to be answered is how innovation, sustainability, and transformative leadership can support each other and form an adaptive managerial framework in the VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) era. The method used is a qualitative approach with in-depth literature analysis of previous research and relevant theoretical studies. The results showed that there is a significant relationship between the three elements in forming a more adaptive and sustainable managerial model. The research also found that there are still gaps in the integration of the three elements in one managerial framework, as well as a lack of longitudinal and cross-cultural studies. The conclusion of this study is that future management theory development should pay attention to a holistic approach that integrates innovation, sustainability, and transformative leadership. Future research is recommended to develop case study-based integrative models and explore the role of technology in shaping new leadership.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the factors influencing employee engagement in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and evaluate their impact on organizational performance. A systematic literature review approach was employed, analyzing 20 relevant scientific articles selected through a predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Thematic analysis was used to identify recurring patterns and key themes across the literature. The findings reveal that leadership style, internal communication, organizational culture, reward systems, and employee well-being are the dominant factors positively influencing employee engagement. These elements have been shown to enhance job satisfaction, loyalty, productivity, and employee retention within SMEs. This research contributes conceptually by developing a systematic framework that can serve as a foundation for building employee engagement models tailored to the SME context. Furthermore, it offers practical implications for SME management in designing more participatory and empowerment-oriented human resource strategies. The study acknowledges its limitation in relying solely on secondary data sources and recommends further empirical field studies to validate the findings across various industry sectors.

Abstract

Climate change affects food security because it causes a shift in the rainy or dry season, which greatly affects the pattern and timing of planting food crops. A decrease in agricultural production will trigger an increase in food prices, which in turn will lead to a decrease in household food purchasing power. Bulog, in this case as the party appointed by the government to carry out activities to maintain the Basic Purchase Price for grain, stabilize prices, especially basic prices, distribute rice for social assistance (Bansos) and manage food stocks, has several strategies to overcome this problem. This study aims to identify the impact of climate change on Indonesia's food security strategy undertaken by Bulog in 2023. The research methodology is based on secondary data that includes a literature review of, articles, e-books, open access e-journals, and previous research. The results showed the influence of climate change on the strategy of Bulog in maintaining food security despite declining production by 1) encouraging subsidiaries by Badan Usaha Milik Negara (BUMN) to increase domestic rice production, 2) building 10 rice milling centers, 7 rice processing centers to its logistics, 3) Distribution of rice assistance of 10 kg per month for low-income groups Program, 4) Stabilization of Food Price Supply (Stabilisasi Pasokan Harga Pangan), which supplies more than 1 million tons of rice at a lower price than the market price. The implication of this research is the importance of strategies to increase domestic food production, strengthen food distribution infrastructure, and pay attention to low-income groups in food assistance programs to overcome the impact of climate change on Indonesia's future food security.
