International Journal of Business, Economics and Social Development (IJBESD) is published 4 (four) times a year and is the flagship journal of the Research Collaboration Community (RCC). It is the aim of IJBESD to present papers which cover the theory, practice, history or methodology of Business, Economics and Social Development. However, since Business, Economics and Social Development are primarily an applied science, it is a major objective of the journal to attract and publish accounts of good, practical case studies. Consequently, papers illustrating applications of Business, Economics and Social Development to real problems are especially welcome.

Abstract

The development of information and communication technology is currently very extensive in its use, especially technology in the field of computers. Expert Systems are one of the sciences in the field of computers that can help in diagnosing various diseases, one of which is epilepsy. The estimated number of epilepsy sufferers in Indonesia is 1.5 million with a prevalence of 0.5-0.6% of the Indonesian population. The expert system method used to diagnose epilepsy early is the Dempster Shafer method. The Dempster Shafer method is used to combine separate pieces of information or evidence to calculate the probability of an event. This study used 7 types of epilepsy, including in the Focal Epilepsy category consisting of Simple Partial and Complex Partial, while in the General Epilepsy category consisting of Absence, Atonic, Myoclonic, Tonic-Clonic, and Clonic. This study produces a website-based application for early diagnosis of epilepsy using the Dempster Shafer method with the PHP programming language and MySQL database. By using this application, it can provide convenience to the medical community and patients in early diagnosis of epilepsy experienced by sufferers. From the results of this study, it was found that the highest level of accuracy was found in Tonic-Clonic seizures which are included in the General Epilepsy category, namely 92.78%.

Abstract

The impact of firm-level corporate governance challenges on sustainable development requires attention, particularly in developing countries. This qualitative study explores factors contributing to South African firms' poor CG performance and the implications of firm-level CG challenges towards attaining SDGs in South Africa. It employs a rapid review methodology to search and review selected articles systematically. Content analysis is used to draw findings. Results reveal that historical, economic, lack of critical scholarship and weak regulatory enforcement and oversight factors affect South African corporate governance practices. Notably, a lack of reform in the corporate governance architecture underpins most of the challenges firms experience regarding corporate governance practices. These results can be linked to slow progress towards realising sustainable development goals (SDG) targets from achieving socioeconomic equality, board diversity, jobs, poverty alleviation and justice for all. This study contributes to scholarship on the intersectionality between CG, SDGs, and existing challenges that restrict the business sector from fully contributing to national development. In South Africa, the study also reviews progress towards strengthening the CG fabric in the post-apartheid era.

Abstract

Small, Medium, and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) make significant contribution to economic growth in both developed and developing economies. In Botswana, the government has made extensive investment in the SMME sector, but the expected returns are compromised by poor performance and business failure among SMMEs. This problem is amplified during crises as they bring various challenges to the sector. This study used the recent COVID-19 pandemic as a proxy to identify and evaluate the nature and extent of challenges faced by SMMEs in Botswana during crisis times. A mixed methods approach was employed to collect data from 250 SMMEs in Gaborone, Francistown and surrounding areas. SPSS and manual coding and thematic analysis were used to analyse the data. It was found that SMMEs in Botswana encountered several challenges the most important being financial (75.4%), technological (74.4%), and human resource (68.8%) challenges. Specifically, these were drop in sales/business (89.2%), need for accelerated digitisation (45.8%), and capacity to ensure the well-being of employees (58.4%). Additionally, there were challenges with accessing and utilising government programmes despite a high level of awareness among SMMEs. Some challenges showed significant association with SMME industry sectors implying their potential importance in some sectors compared to others. The dominance of financial, technological, and human resource challenges may underscore the central role they play in SMME operations. It is not enough for governments to avail resources, programmes, policies and frameworks in support of SMMEs. More needs to be done to promote their access, uptake, and utilisation.

Abstract

This research examines the importance of exploring foreign market entry strategies for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) by a case study of Creative Kokedama, an SME that developed product innovations from ordinary flowering plants into ornamental plant kokedama and successfully penetrated the Japanese market, the country origin of kokedama. The research findings indicate that the main motivation for Creative Kokedama to expand into the international market is intrinsic motivation. The owner reasoned that kokedama plant crafts originated from Japan, so she wanted to bring kokedama back to Japan. She has his own satisfaction when she is able to bring kokedama to the Japanese market. That motivation can related to psychological factors, such as the desire for self-development and global recognition, as well as ethnocentrism, which is pride in local cultural values reflected in the kokedama products. The entry mode chosen is direct exporting, which does not go through an intermediary, but directly to foreign buyer. Japan was chosen as the export destination country because Japan is the origin country of kokedama. Although previously it had also exported to Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam, and Singapore. Selection of export destination country can be related to pull factor theory in internationalization, Japan as the country of origin for kokedama, may have a high appreciation for products with unique approaches or modifications. This research contributes to the literature on SME internationalization strategies by offering insights into the importance of the combination of product innovation and intrinsic motivation especially psychological factors in achieving export success. Moreover, these findings can also serve as practical guidance for other SMEs looking to enter the global market through innovation and locally value-based strategies.

Abstract

The low export performance of SMEs in Indonesia is a significant problem in supporting national economic growth because SMEs are often less able to take advantage of international market opportunities compared to large companies. One of the critical determinants of SME exports is networking and partnership relationships. This study uses a quantitative descriptive approach to analyze the role of networking and partnerships in supporting SME exporters entering the international market. The study was conducted through a survey of 67 SME exporters in East Java who are members of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce, using a questionnaire as a data collection instrument. The results of the study indicate that SME exporters face various obstacles in marketing, human resources, finance, access to information, and the business environment. However, networking and partnerships have been proven to support their export activities. Strategic partners who play a role include government agencies, business partners, business associations, chambers of commerce, state-owned and private companies, universities, and support from family. This support includes information on international market data, business opportunities, potential analysis, access to capital, promotion, and competitive strategies in the global market. These findings indicate that SMEs that build good networks and partnerships can overcome various obstacles and challenges and gain significant benefits from entering the international market.
