Abstract

This study examines how product development and market strategy contribute to driving sustainable growth and enhancing competitiveness in the agribusiness sector, using CV Missouri Bandung as a case study. In the context of increasing market competition and the growing importance of food security, agribusiness firms are required to adopt adaptive and value-driven strategies to maintain competitiveness and long-term sustainability. This research employs a qualitative case study approach using strategic management tools, including SWOT analysis, Internal Factor Evaluation (IFE), External Factor Evaluation (EFE), the Internal–External (IE) Matrix, and the Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM), to evaluate the company’s strategic position and determine the most appropriate growth strategy. The findings indicate that the company achieved an Internal Factor Evaluation (IFE) score of 3.05 and an External Factor Evaluation (EFE) score of 2.61, positioning the company in Quadrant IV of the Internal–External (IE) Matrix, categorized as “Grow and Build,” which reflects strong internal capabilities and an adequate response to external environmental dynamics. Furthermore, the Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM) analysis identified product development as the most effective strategic alternative, achieving the highest Total Attractiveness Score (TAS) of 5.60, followed by market development and market penetration. These findings indicate that product innovation, value-added offerings, and continuous market adaptation are essential for strengthening competitiveness and supporting long-term business resilience. This study highlights that the integration of product development and market strategy plays a critical role in driving sustainable growth, enhancing competitiveness, and supporting supply chain resilience in the agribusiness industry. The findings provide practical insights for agribusiness firms in designing strategic initiatives aligned with sustainable economic development.

Abstract

The rapid growth of digital banking in Indonesia has given rise to various applications, including blu by BCA Digital, which primarily targets Generation Z. However, a gap exists between Brand Image and actual usage, as pre-survey results show that 55% of respondents had never used the application despite holding a positive perception of its parent company, BCA. This study aims to analyze the effect of Brand Image on intention to use blu by BCA Digital, with trust as a mediating variable, among Generation Z in Tangerang City. A quantitative approach was employed, involving 100 respondents selected through purposive sampling, with data collected via questionnaire and analyzed using SmartPLS 4 based on the PLS-SEM approach. The results show that Brand Image has a positive and significant effect on both trust (t = 2.335; p = 0.020) and intention to use (t = 2.170; p = 0.030), while trust significantly affects intention to use (t = 5.239; p = 0.000) and partially mediates the relationship between Brand Image and intention to use (t = 2.307; p = 0.021). These findings indicate that a strong Brand Image must be accompanied by genuine trust to optimally foster usage intention among Generation Z.

Abstract

Despite growing its diversity in corporate boardrooms, minority directors may remain marginalized when their representation is not accompanied by meaningful participation and influence. This study clarifies the distinction between symbolic diversity and authentic inclusion to explain why diversity-oriented governance reforms may fail to empower board members. The study adopts a three-stage review approach. First, a systematic literature review was conducted to identify and screen 192 relevant articles. Second, a bibliometric analysis to map the field's thematic evolution. Third, a qualitative content analysis of influential works to identify core concepts and research gaps. The findings show that existing research often treats demographic representation as a proxy for inclusion, while giving limited attention to voice, power-sharing, participation, and procedural fairness. Based on these findings, this study proposes a framework organized around three dimensions: drivers of board inclusion, boardroom processes, and corporate and governance outcomes. Board inclusion should be understood as a dynamic governance process rather than a compositional outcome. Authentic inclusion depends on psychological empowerment and procedural fairness. This study encourages researchers, boards, and regulators to move beyond representation-based indicators by developing inclusion metrics that are able to capture participation quality, influence, and fairness in board decision-making.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the relationship between formal education and age and the level of financial literacy among school teachers, especially in Bandung City. This study also aimed to investigate the effect of financial literacy to financial management. The study was done at JKN Senior High School (SHS) in Bandung City, with the JKN teachers as the sample. JKN SHS was chosen for several reasons, such as its alignment with the phenomenon, and the teachers in JKN SHS have diverse formal educational backgrounds and age ranges. The hypothesis testing result showed that formal education positively affects financial literacy. However, age was not shown to influence financial literacy. Thus, financial literacy positively impacts personal financial management. This outcome established an evidence-supported link to the socio-economic issue, namely the increase in urban poverty in Indonesia. In Bandung, teachers facing the demands of a consumer-driven urban life on limited income find that high financial literacy is not just advantageous but essential for developing financial resilience and preventing poverty. The observation empirically validates the claim that strong financial literacy can safeguard individuals against a decrease in their quality of life and enhance their readiness for economic emergencies and crises.

Abstract

This study analyzes the digital marketing strategy of Abdo's, a local culinary micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) in Surabaya, through Instagram. A descriptive qualitative case study was applied using Instagram observation, semi-structured interviews with the co-owner/social media administrator and a customer, and documentation of posts, stories, testimonials, and insights. The findings show that Abdo's relies on cinematic food reels, daily stories, persuasive captions, local hashtags, customer testimonials, direct messages, and limited food-vlogger collaboration. Cinematic food videos were perceived as the most effective content because they visualize product quality, texture, and consumption experience. Nevertheless, Instagram management still faces constraints related to inconsistent content scheduling, limited human resources, uneven visual quality, underused highlights, incomplete price information, and irregular promotions. The study recommends a weekly content calendar, consistent visual identity, complete product information, optimized reels, stories and highlights, stronger user-generated content, and regular insight evaluation. The findings imply that Instagram can function not only as a promotional showcase but also as a brand communication space that supports trust-building and purchase interest among culinary MSME customers.
