Abstract

The aim of this research is to assess the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the quality of good local government governance. This study involved all provincial governments in Indonesia with observation years 2019 and 2020. The assessment of the quality of good regional governance was measured using the Principal Component Analysis method. The test was carried out by comparing the value of the good regional governance index in the year before the Covid-19 outbreak with the value of the good regional governance index in the year of the Covid-19 outbreak. The findings showed that the governance index of all provincial governments in 2020 decreased by an average of 0.68 points or 10.82% so that the Covid-19 Pandemic in Indonesia has reduced the quality of regional governance. Therefore, all stakeholders need to be more serious in building the principles of good governance from planning to control to maintain quality, even in crisis situations.

Abstract

Brebes Regency, Indonesia, exhibits significant economic growth but also the highest poverty rate in Pekalongan Residency, indicating uneven development. This study identifies local economic potential and prioritizes infrastructure needs for sustainable economic growth in rapidly developing small towns within Brebes Regency, Indonesia. Data were collected through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and supplemented by secondary data from relevant Local Government Agencies (OPDs), providing insights on existing infrastructure, potential economic activities, and necessary facilities for local development. The analysis utilized qualitative descriptive methods, regression to assess economic growth trends, and Klassen's typology to classify economic activities. Findings indicate significant opportunities in key sectors such as agriculture and fisheries, highlighting the urgent need for targeted infrastructure investments, including rice mills, fish hatcheries, and vocational training centers, to bolster these sectors. The study concludes that strategic infrastructure development, informed by both primary and secondary data sources, is essential for maximizing economic potential and fostering sustainable growth in Brebes Regency's small towns. This research supports informed policy decisions regarding resource allocation and infrastructure planning, contributing to equitable development and enhanced economic resilience in the region.

Data analysis uses interactive model analysis with data validity checks by triangulation. The study results show that informal sector vendors do not run informal sector vendors individually and separately, but their vendors are run in groups.

Abstract

Income is one of the most popular dimensions for measuring welfare and development; hence, comparing welfare and well-being among countries can be conducted by comparing their per capita income. While income convergence is a certain implication in neoclassical growth theory, it does not always occur empirically. This study aims to investigate whether income convergence occurs among economies. Employing data from 93 countries from 1980 to 2022 obtained from the World Bank, the two-way fixed effect panel model is implemented to verify the existence of β-convergence. The result shows that the initial per capita gross domestic product, representing income, negatively affects income growth, indicating that β-convergence occurs in terms of global and club convergence. This implies that poor countries grew faster than affluent countries. After β-convergence is confirmed, σ-convergence is analyzed by measuring the income dispersion across countries over time. σ-convergence exists if the dispersion declines as time passes. The result shows that σ-convergence exists only among G20, OECD, lower-middle-income, higher-middle-income, and high-income countries. This fact implies that the income gap between poor and rich countries within those groups shrinks over time. In contrast, the income gap among low-income countries did not experience a significant decline during the period. Therefore, international organizations and partnerships must pay more attention to and assist lower-income countries to achieve higher growth rates.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the impact of social media marketing and consumer relationships on the decision-making process regarding enrollment in private universities, as well as to assess their influence on the brand perception of these institutions. Additionally, it seeks to analyze how the perceived brand image affects the decision to enroll in a private university. The study targeted new students entering private universities in Jember Regency for the 2023/2024 academic year, using proportional random sampling methods for data collection via questionnaires. Statistical analysis and hypothesis testing were conducted using SEM-PLS methodology. Findings indicate that social media marketing significantly affects the decision to enroll in a private university, while consumer relationship factors do not. Moreover, both social media marketing and consumer relationships impact the brand image of private universities, which subsequently influences enrollment decisions. Indirect testing reveals that brand image serves as a mediating factor in the relationship between social media marketing, consumer relationships, and the decision to enroll in a private university.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of learning organization and knowledge management on competitive advantage, with organizational creativity as a mediating variable, within Malang’s startup ecosystem. Using a quantitative approach and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), data were collected from 104 startups. Results reveal that Learning Organization (β=0.289, p0.05) and Knowledge Management (β=0.260, p0.05) significantly enhance Competitive Advantage. Both Learning Organization (β=0.249, p0.05) and Knowledge Management (β=0.523, p0.05) positively influence Organizational Creativity, which subsequently strengthens Competitive Advantage (β=0.374, p0.05). Organizational Creativity partially mediates the impact of Learning Organization (β=0.093, p0.05) and Knowledge Management (β=0.196, p0.05) on Competitive Advantage. The model shows that 50.9% of what affects creativity in organizations and 65.5% of what affects their competitive advantage can be understood from the data. This highlights how important creativity and knowledge are for staying competitive over time. Findings emphasize the strategic value for startups in integrating learning and knowledge frameworks to maintain competitive positioning. Findings emphasize the strategic value for startups in integrating learning and knowledge frameworks to maintain competitive positioning. These insights apply not just to startups but also to industries like manufacturing, healthcare, and education. By focusing on learning, managing knowledge well, and encouraging creativity, these sectors can boost innovation, work more efficiently, and become more adaptable. This will help them stay competitive over time.

Abstract

Low electricity consumption, restricted road length, and insufficient road infrastructure are believed to contribute to low per capita income and high poverty rates in East Nusa Tenggara. To substantiate this hypothesis, a study was undertaken in that province and the population are 21 districts and one city. This study analyzed data from 2019 to 2023 and utilized the Panel Data Regression analysis method. The findings of this study indicate that electricity consumption significantly impacts the increase in per capita income. Conversely, to alleviate poverty, the variable of road length exerts a significant influence. However, road infrastructure variables have shown no effect on boosting per capita income or reducing poverty. Formulation of strategies to diminish poverty while augmenting per capita income was conducted through the Analytical Network Process (ANP) analysis tool, involving nine stakeholders and decision-makers within the region.  ANP is a supportive tool in decision-making processes  that has many criterias and sub criterias. The agreed-upon strategy focuses on three primary priorities: enhancing community electricity consumption, extending road lengths, and enhancing road infrastructure.
