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, p<0.05) and Knowledge Management (β=0.260, p<0.05) significantly enhance Competitive Advantage. Both Learning Organization (β=0.249, p<0.05) and Knowledge Management (β=0.523, p<0.05) positively influence Organizational Creativity, which subsequently strengthens Competitive Advantage (β=0.374, p<0.05). Organizational Creativity partially mediates the impact of Learning Organization (β=0.093, p<0.05) and Knowledge Management (β=0.196, p<0.05) 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.

Abstract

This study addresses a key gap in the empirical literature on fiscal policy and economic growth: while numerous studies assess the impact of total government spending, few examine the differential effects of expenditures by function under the COFOG framework, particularly in emerging economies such as Indonesia. Understanding these functional impacts is essential for aligning budget priorities with long-term development goals, especially amid fiscal volatility and shifting political agendas. Using annual realized expenditure data by function from the Ministry of Finance for 2005–2023, this study employs a multiple regression model grounded in the Keynesian Growth Model and Endogenous Growth Model to evaluate the impact of functional spending on long-term economic growth. The analysis spans four presidential terms (Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono 2004–2014; Joko Widodo 2014–2024) and encompasses major domestic and global economic shocks during the period. Findings shows that Economic Affairs and General Public Services have consistently received the largest shares of Indonesia’s budget from 2005–2023, while Health accounts for a relatively small portion. Compared to OECD countries, which prioritize Social Protection, Indonesia’s spending pattern emphasizes Economic Affairs and Education, with allocations fluctuating significantly from year to year. Regression results show that only Health expenditure has a positive and statistically significant effect on economic growth, aligning with the role of human capital in long-term productivity. In contrast, Social Protection shows a negative significant effect, while major categories such as Economic Affairs, Public Order and Safety, and Education have no significant impact. These findings underscore that the quality, efficiency, and strategic orientation of spending, rather than its size, are critical for aligning fiscal policy with sustainable growth objectives.

Abstract

Family businesses play a pivotal role in the global economy but are uniquely vulnerable to internal conflict due to the overlap of family and business roles. This systematic literature review (SLR) examines 25 peer-reviewed articles published between 2016 and 2025 to explore the evolving themes, theories, and methodologies in family business conflict research. The review responds to the urgent need for a deeper understanding of conflict dynamics amid rising challenges such as digitalization, intergenerational transitions, and global competitiveness. Using the PRISMA protocol and thematic analysis supported by the Watase Uake system, the study identifies four dominant categories in the literature: types of conflict (e.g., relational, generational, governance), sources of conflict, consequences of conflict on performance and relationships, and conflict resolution strategies. The findings reveal that Agency Theory and Socioemotional Wealth Theory are the most frequently applied, while cultural and digital factors increasingly influence conflict dynamics. Despite methodological diversity, research remains largely Western-centric and quantitatively focused, with limited attention to emotional and cultural dimensions in non-Western contexts. This SLR contributes by offering an integrative conceptual framework that synthesizes key variables, relationships, and contextual influences on family business conflict. It highlights the importance of culturally adaptive and proactive conflict management strategies, particularly in emerging markets. The study also identifies gaps for future research, including the need for longitudinal studies, mixed-method approaches, and exploration of digital tools in conflict resolution. The review informs both academic inquiry and practical governance in sustaining family firms.

Abstract

The food and beverage (F&B) industry faces significant challenges in risk management due to the unpredictable quality of internal and external environments. This study aims to classify various types of risks and analyze risk management to improve the resilience of the F&B MSME supply chain. This study was conducted in Surakarta City, Indonesia, involving 250 F&B MSME business units, representing approximately 41.12% of the total MSME population. A total of 20 types of risks were classified into 4 groups using a structural model. MICMAC analysis was used to analyze the role of each type of risk. The interactions of 20 types of risks were classified by MICMAC analysis into four groups: linkage, autonomous dependent, and independent, and identify the types of risks that are relatively critical in the system. The findings of this study provide a clear framework for MSMEs to understand the risks they face and how these risks interact in the system. MICMAC analysis categorizes the many risk types inside the system to aid in the development of suitable mitigation strategies. This study provides a comprehensive understanding to MSMEs on how risks can be managed effectively and serves as a basis for further exploration. The novelty lies in the integration of vulnerability analysis and MICMAC-based risk classification in the context of F&B MSMEs. MICMAC analysis offers clear insights for researchers and MSMEs to understand complex risks.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relevance of the export-led growth model in eight countries in the ASEAN region. Panel data analysis was used to examine the corellation between the variables of export growth and gross domestic product, supported by control variables such as exchange rates, consumer price index, real interest rates, and foreign exchange reserves. The Fixed Effect Model was selected as the best analytical model for this study. The data used in this research was sourced from the World Bank, utilizing data from 8 countries: Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Brunei Darussalam, and Timor-Leste, covering the period from 2014 to 2023. The study results support the ELG hypothesis, meaning that exports have a significant positive impact on economic growth in the 8 ASEAN countries. Exchange rates and foreign exchange reserves also play a significant positive role in driving GDP. Meanwhile, the CPI does not have a significant impact on GDP. On the other hand, real interest rates have a significant negative effect on GDP. The implications of this study highlight the importance of product diversification and value addition to enhance the competitiveness of export products for the eight ASEAN countries, thereby reducing dependence on oil and gas commodities and raw materials. Additionally, the implementation of responsive monetary policies to global market dynamics is necessary to maintain economic stability and achieve sustainable growth.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of local raw materials in improving food quality and shaping local economic linkages, using the Yoku Yatta restaurant in Medan as a case study. Based on a survey of 140 consumers and analyzed using a quantitative SEM-PLS approach, the research examines the relationships between local raw material quality, food quality, consumer satisfaction, and the local economic linkages impact. The results indicate that the use of local raw materials significantly enhances food quality and contributes to strengthening local economic linkages through supply-side interactions. Food quality is a key driver of consumer satisfaction; however, its effect on economic linkages is fully mediated by consumer satisfaction. Instead, its influence is transmitted indirectly through consumer satisfaction, which serves as a crucial mediating mechanism. This finding highlights the study’s primary theoretical contribution by demonstrating the importance of consumer satisfaction as a mechanism connecting product quality and local economic benefits. These results reflect recent trends in the Indonesian culinary sector, where consumer awareness of sustainability and local sourcing is increasing. Preliminary evidence from the Yoku Yatta consumer survey shows that local ingredient use not only enhances perceived quality but also helps build a positive restaurant image. The managerial implications emphasize the need to strengthen local supply chains, improving value-added communication strategies regarding local sourcing, and promote menu innovation based on local raw materials.
