Abstract

Background: Over the last five years, transactions and warehouse receipt utilization have shown a significant decline. In 2023, there was a recorded growth of -30% in warehouse receipt financing, while the growth in warehouse receipt issuance was -25.15%. This condition indicates that Indonesia's warehouse receipt system management is not optimal. Purpose: This study aimed to provide an overview of Indonesia's warehouse receipt system (WRS) by analyzing issues that hindered its development and formulating solutions to tackle those issues.Design/methodology/approach: This research employed a systematic literature review (SLR) approach. Scopus and Sinta indexed journals were used, from which we selected 33 of 378 previous studies. We divided the findings of this study into internal and external problems and solutions.Finding/Result: The findings of this study were divided into internal and external problems and solutions. Internal issues included farmers not meeting the minimum deposit requirements, lack of awareness of the WRS, limited access to WRS, and competitive costs. Meanwhile, external problems included a distant warehouse location from the production site, inadequate facilities, poor management quality, limited availability of warehouses that met standards, and government support. Internal solutions included establishing a cooperative body, increasing production output through smart farming, providing access to financial capital, education, and socialization of WRS, and government subsidies to reduce operational costs. Meanwhile, external solutions consisted of building a warehouse near the production site, repairing facilities, training for warehouse management, coordinating with financial institutions, and accelerating policies on developing WRS in Indonesia.Conclusion: The most frequently discussed problem was that farmers had to bear costs such as rental fees, transportation fees, processing fees, and insurance fees. To strengthen farmer groups, the government needed to provide farmers with bailout funds and capital assistance. Stakeholders could use the study's findings to formulate policy recommendations to aid in the development of WRS. We anticipated that WRS development would benefit Indonesia's economic development, particularly the agricultural sector.Originality/value (State of the art): Based on the researcher's observations, no WRS analysis has been found using the SLR approach. This method was chosen because it is considered appropriate for reviewing literature that has been conducted in the context of WRS. Keywords: literature review, agricultural economics, warehouse receipt system, problem, solution

Abstract

Background: Micro and medium enterprises are the backbone of the economy, contributing more than fifty per cent of the GDP in various countries. However, many SMEs that are difficult to develop cannot even exist in a dynamic business climate. Purpose: Research is necessary to determine priority strategies for improving SMEs performance. Design/methodology/approach: This study used the AHP methodology, with respondents totaling five experts in their fields. The hierarchy in AHP analysis was divided into four levels: Objectives, Factors, Actors, and Alternatives.Findings/results: Based on the results of the analysis, the factors that played a role in the strategy of improving SMEs' performance were the Innovativeness factor, the actor that played the most significant role was SMEs, and the top priority strategy to improve SMEs' performance was to increase the innovative and proactive nature of SMEs through one-on-one mentoring.Conclusion: This comprehensive analysis reveals that fostering growth in SMEs necessitates a multifaceted approach. Cultivating a proactive and inventive mindset through personalized mentoring and encouraging the pursuit of new opportunities are crucial. Furthermore, enhancing adaptability by facilitating exposure to larger business ecosystems through company visits enables SMEs to remain agile and informed. Finally, strengthening digital marketing skills and ensuring product quality are paramount for successful implementation of growth strategies. These findings underscore the importance of a targeted yet diverse approach to empower SMEs, aligning perfectly with the overarching goal of bolstering their performance and ensuring their sustained success.Originality/value (State of the art): While existing literature acknowledges the importance of various factors in SME success, this research provides a novel contribution by: Utilizing AHP: This robust methodology allows for a structured and quantifiable prioritization of factors influencing SME performance, moving beyond descriptive analyses. Expert-Informed Insights: By incorporating the expertise of five field specialists, the study ensures practical relevance and nuanced understanding of the SME landscape. Focus on Proactive Innovation: The findings highlight the crucial role of fostering a proactive and inventive mindset among SME owners as a key driver of performance improvement.

Abstract

Background: Studying the impact of Islamic work ethics on knowledge-sharing behavior and employee performance is intriguing since ethics play a crucial role in shaping the company's core values. Purpose: This research examined the impact of Islamic work ethic (IWE) on knowledge-sharing behavior (KSB) and employee performance (EP). Considering the importance of knowledge exchange on employee performance, the external validity of the IWE concept was addressed to examine the mediating effect of knowledge-sharing behaviors on employee performance.Design/methodology/approach: Valid questionnaires (132 respondents) were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to examine a comprehensive organizational situation. This research also collects views from organizational behavior and performance experts to enrich the discussion regarding how Islamic work ethics influence employee performance and knowledge-sharing.Findings/results: Analysis using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) found that Islamic work ethics influence the attitudes and behavior of employees at fast-food companies in Indonesia. In general, Islamic work ethics greatly influences employee performance and knowledge-sharing behavior. However, Islamic work ethics have a more significant influence than knowledge-sharing behavior in influencing employee performance.Conclusion: Managers who wish to improve the attitudes and behavior of their employees are strongly advised to prioritize the concept of Islamic work ethics in the workplace. Implementing this concept is beneficial in knowledge-sharing behavior for better employee performance, ultimately increasing organizational effectiveness and efficiency.Originality/value (State of the art): This research contributes to the knowledge of how Islamic work ethics predict employee performance and knowledge-sharing behavior and examines the mediating effect of knowledge-sharing behavior influencing employee performance. Keywords: Islamic work ethic, knowledge-sharing behavior, employee performance, fast-food company, Structural Equation Modeling.

Abstract

An initial public offering (IPO) decision always had financial, accounting, and operational ramifications for the company. After an IPO, however, a company's performance typically declined, whereas there should have been an improvement in the company's performance when it went public. Good corporate performance could also be reflected in the company's financial performance. The purpose of this study was to compare the financial performance of companies before and after their initial public offerings (IPO). The research sample consisted of 31 companies that had an initial public offering in 2019, with financial reporting data from three years prior to the IPO and three years after the IPO. The methods of analysis employed were descriptive analysis and the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. After an initial public offering, the overall financial ratios examined in the study varied significantly. After their IPOs, the companies' performance declined (Return On Asset (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), Debt to Assets Ratio (DAR), Debt To Equity Ratio (DER), Total Assets Turnover (TATO), and GR). After an IPO, only the CR grew in value. Keywords: financial performance, go public, Initial Public Offering (IPO), stock market, wilcoxon signed rank test
