Abstract

This study investigates the influence of social media, lifestyle, and personal financial management on students’ consumptive behavior. The research was conducted at Tanah Laut State Polytechnic involving students of the Accounting Study Program from the 2022 and 2023 cohorts. A total of 181 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. The study adopted a quantitative approach with data collected through a structured questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using multiple linear regression assisted by SPSS version 26. The results reveal that, partially, social media and lifestyle have a significant and positive influence on students’ consumptive behavior. In contrast, personal financial management does not significantly affect students’ consumptive tendencies. The simultaneous analysis indicates that all three variables social media, lifestyle, and personal financial management collectively have a significant positive influence on consumptive behavior among students. The findings of this study suggest that digital exposure and lifestyle orientation are dominant factors influencing consumption decisions among students, whereas internal financial control has a weaker individual impact. These results provide a clear overview of the behavioral tendencies in student consumption and highlight the role of social and financial factors in shaping those behaviors.

Abstract

The study investigated the contribution of digital automation technologies towards environmental sustainability practices of companies in Nigeria, and their level of implementation of these technologies. Four research questions were raised to achieve the study objectives. Cross-sectional survey design was used in the study. A sample size of one hundred and eighty-nine (189) respondents were drawn from a target population of accountants, top business managers, and Information Technology experts of manufacturing firms in Nigeria. Primary data were collected from the respondents with the use of a 4-point Likert-based questionnaire. Analysis of data collected was achieved by using frequency counts and Spearman Ranked Order Correlation Coefficient. The results showed that only Internet of Services have been implemented to a high degree while other elements of industry 4.0 have low implementation in Nigeria. It was equally found that digital automation technology implementation significantly enhances waste management practices, reduction in carbon emission, and natural resource use efficiency. The study recommends that managers of manufacturing firms in Nigeria should endeavour to acquire, implement and maintain digitized manufacturing facilities that use connected devices, machinery and production systems to continuously collect and share data in order to help the firms achieve more efficiency in their production processes.

Abstract

This study examined the effect of firm size on cash levels among listed healthcare firms in Nigeria. This study adopts an ex-post facto research design. The population and sample size were made up of 7 listed healthcare firms and 5 listed healthcare firms, respectively. Secondary data for the study were sourced from firms’ annual reports from 2014 to 2023. Descriptive analysis was carried out, while ordinary least square regression was used to test the hypotheses. The findings revealed that firm size has a significant positive effect on cash levels of listed healthcare firms in Nigeria (b = 0.052022; p-value = 0.0260). In conclusion, as firms grow in size, their ability to maintain higher cash balances increases. The study recommends that small healthcare firms should prioritize strategic growth initiatives such as mergers, acquisitions, or market expansion to increase their size and enhance their ability to accumulate and maintain higher cash reserves. This study contributes to knowledge by providing empirical evidence on the relationship between firm size and cash levels in the Nigerian healthcare sector, an area with limited prior research.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of regional dependence, capital expenditure productivity, and regional investment intensity on regional financial sustainability, with the establishment of reserve funds as a moderating variable. Using panel data from the provinces of Aceh and Papua from 2016 to 2022, the research applies quantitative methods through multiple regression analysis and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The findings reveal that high regional dependence negatively affects financial sustainability, while productive capital expenditure and strong investment intensity contribute positively. Moreover, the presence of reserve funds significantly moderates these relationships strengthening positive effects and weakening negative impacts. These results highlight the importance of balanced financial autonomy and strategic fiscal management in achieving sustainable regional development. The implications suggest that local governments should prioritize increasing financial independence, optimize capital expenditures, and develop reserve funds to enhance fiscal resilience

Abstract

This study examines the role of simple lifestyle in mediating the effect of financial literacy and self-control on financial behavior. This survey design study involved 126 samples of undergraduate accounting students at Pamulang University. Using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) Partial Least Squares estimator method, this study found a positive effect of financial literacy on simple lifestyle. This study also found that financial literacy and self-control directly affect financial behavior. However, this study found no effect of a simple lifestyle on financial behavior. In addition, this study failed to prove the role of simple lifestyle in mediating the indirect effect of financial literacy and self-control on financial behavior. These results indicate that financial literacy and self-control are the most dominant factors in improving students' financial behavior. On that basis, higher education institutions should encourage the strengthening of financial literacy and self-control of students more intensively in order to improve their financial behavior. Good financial behavior in this context is a person's ability to organize, manage, and use their financial resources more wisely and rationally.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of knowledge management and innovation on competitive advantage among micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the creative sector in Medan City. The research focuses on MSME actors located in Medan Polonia District, a prominent hub for creative economic activities with dynamic business growth. A quantitative approach was employed using a survey method and structured questionnaires distributed to 100 respondents. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with the aid of SPSS version 26. The results reveal that both knowledge management and innovation have a significant and positive influence on competitive advantage, both partially and simultaneously. Among the dimensions of knowledge management, knowledge sharing emerged as the most dominant indicator, while collaborative innovation was the leading factor within the innovation variable. These findings indicate that integrating systematic knowledge processes with a continuous innovation culture enhances MSMEs’ ability to compete, respond to customer needs, and offer uniqueness in their products and services. This study supports the resource-based view (RBV) and dynamic capabilities theory, which suggest that knowledge and innovation are strategic, inimitable resources that drive long-term competitive advantage. The practical implications emphasize the importance of training, digitalization, and collaborative innovation ecosystems to strengthen the competitive capacity of MSMEs in Indonesia’s creative industries. Future studies are recommended to examine the role of digital literacy, leadership, and technological readiness as supporting variables in the sustainable development of competitive advantage among MSMEs.

Abstract

This study investigates the comparative influence of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Domestic Direct Investment (DDI) on the Open Unemployment Rate (OUR) in Bandung Regency. This study utilizes annual time-series data covering the period from 2007 to 2024 for the OUR variable, as well as deflated FDI and DDI realization values. The methodology adopted is a quantitative approach with an Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression model specified in a log-log form to analyze the elasticity relationship between variables. The model estimation results show that DDI has a negative and statistically significant effect on the OUR, with an elasticity coefficient of -0.285, implying that a 1% increase in real DDI will decrease the OUR by 0.285%. Conversely, FDI was found to have no statistically significant effect on the OUR at a 5% significance level. The main finding of this research is the clear difference in effectiveness between the two capital sources in local labor absorption. DDI proves to be a strong determinant in reducing unemployment, whereas FDI, despite its volume, shows no significant statistical impact. This finding highlights that domestic investment plays a more crucial and direct role in addressing unemployment issues at the regency level, such as in Bandung Regency.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of digital marketing and pricing on consumer buying interest and customer satisfaction at three bakery shops in Mataram City: Delicious Mooik, Luna Bakery, and Mirasa Bakery. The research method used is descriptive quantitative with a survey approach. A sample of 105 respondents was taken using accidental sampling technique and analyzed using multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS software. The results showed that digital marketing contributed 30.3% to purchase intention, while pricing had a greater influence, at 54%. When combined, the effect increases to 59.8%. Digital marketing also contributed 32% to customer satisfaction, while pricing had a more dominant impact, at 49.8%. Simultaneously, these two variables influence customer satisfaction by 57.2%. Pricing has a more dominant influence than digital marketing on both dependent variables. The implications of this study indicate that bakery businesses in Mataram City need to prioritize competitive pricing strategies, such as ensuring price compatibility with product quality and benefits. On the other hand, optimizing digital marketing by utilizing social media and e-commerce platforms can increase customer interaction and brand trust, thereby supporting increased customer satisfaction and long-term loyalty. This combination of strategies is important to create sustainable competitiveness in the bakery industry.

Abstract

Strategic leadership and strategic theory are two fundamental pillars in the management of modern organizations, particularly amidst the increasing complexity of the global environment. This study aims to explore and synthesize the relationship between strategic theory and strategic leadership practices through a comprehensive literature review. A qualitative, systematic approach was employed to analyze fifteen relevant national and international scholarly articles, selected based on inclusion criteria such as topic relevance, methodological rigor, and publication recency (2020–2025). Findings reveal that the success of organizational strategy is closely linked to the quality of leadership in navigating both external and internal dynamics. Adaptive strategies such as strategic imitation and redeployment require leaders who are analytically sharp and agile in decision-making. Furthermore, leadership styles such as transformational, servant, and authentic leadership significantly contribute to improved organizational performance, employee engagement, and the fostering of innovative cultures. The personal values of leaders, digital competencies, and the ability to interpret socio-political dynamics also emerge as key factors in effective strategy execution. This review provides theoretical contributions to the understanding of how leadership and strategy co-evolve and offers practical insights for leadership development and organizational transformation. The study underscores the importance of interdisciplinary approaches in preparing future-ready, ethical, and innovation-driven strategic leaders. Keywords: Strategic Leadership, Strategic Theory, Organizational Innovation, Transformational Leadership, Adaptive Change

Abstract

This study aims to develop an innovative school waste bank model based on social entrepreneurship using the Business Model Canvas (BMC) framework to increase student and community participation in sustainable waste management. A descriptive qualitative approach with a case study strategy was conducted at SMK Strada II, West Jakarta. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, document analysis, and focus group discussions. The results show that integrating BMC elements such as key partners, value propositions, and revenue streams strengthens the program's structure and sustainability. Active involvement of students and the surrounding community enhances its educational, social, and economic functions. Simple incentives and collaborative approaches effectively raise environmental awareness. This study is limited to one school and has not measured long-term impacts. The findings offer opportunities to replicate the model in other schools and encourage educational policies based on social entrepreneurship and environmental education.
